Hello,
I'm considering upgrading the 970 in my G20 to a 1660 TI and just wanted to make sure there's nothing I'm over looking. The new card looks to be about 3 inches less in length and only about 0.1 inches wider, so I anticipate that it will fit. I'm assuming my 970 already has the 6 and 8 pin connectors to plug the 1660 TI into the motherboard. It draws less power than the 970 so I can't imagine I'd need to update my PSU. However, the card's Amazon page says they recommend a 450W PSU. My G20 has a 180W and 230W. Will that be a problem?
I'm upgrading the card mainly to run SteamVR games on my Oculus Quest via Link. I have an i7-6700, so I think I'm good on the CPU side.
Is there anything else I may be overlooking in this process?
Thanks
