Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this
Before I ask the question , my specs are as following:

CPU: i7 3770
GPU: Gtx 670 (2gb)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX
RAM: 8gb
DISPLAY : 1920x1080 60hz


I am a gaming enthusiast with low budget. I am planning of upgrading that GPU with GTX 1660. Mainly because I need more VRAM due to me installing texture packs & mods, thus my current 2gb vram is extremely problematic.

My first question is, would I have any compatibility issue with that brand new GPU on my old rig(with motherboard maybe)?
My second question is, is this a logical action? I am able to play metro exodus and far cry 5 on low-medium settings so I thought a boost on the graphics card would give me the results I crave for.

Kind Regards.
