Spec me a graphics card

Hi everyone, my Palit GTX 980 just died and black screened. I need to buy a reasonably priced replacement and was thinking about;

GTX 1660 Ti https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-354-ms.html for £310.00.


The only game I ever play is World of Tanks. The 980 had it maxed out
Other than that Zoom video conferences, MS Office suite ie Word, Excel, Notes, Powerpoint, Skype etc.

I have a single 23.9" Asus 1940 x1080 monitor on 60fps thats a VS247, which I bought from OC, and the other day I was actually contemplating purchasing a second screen so that I can have a Zoom conference on one screen and other stuff open on the other screen. The above 1660ti seems to accommodate two screens.

In the end I had a discussion with the Overclockers chap on the telephone and ended up purchasing a Gigabyte Gefore RTX 2060 as well as a new monitor and a display cable. Here = https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-1bj-gi.html

So when it gets delivered I can use the HDMI cable from the card to the old monitor and the display cable from the card to the new monitor which is a 144Hz, as opposed to my old one which was 60Hz. Havinf dual monitors for work purposes really helps produtivity and since I am stuck at home for a while it seemed a wothwhile investment.
