hello, i would like to know if i have a msi trident 3 I7 7700 GTX 1060 3go 16 go ram, i would like to know if with a 230w power supply i could put a gtx 1660 (super) instead of my 1060? because im a new vr player and my gtx 1060 limits me in the quality of the games because of the lack of video ram and I want to have much more perf than a 1060 6go,so is it good or i must buy a 1660 ti ?
Hello Brice,
Whether or not you're able to upgrade your videocard depends on the TDP (Thermal Design Power). I could not find the TDP for the 1660 mini super on the web but I did find someone on the forum who upgraded his Trident succesfully with it: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/327434
Your 1060 3G has a TDP of 120W, if the 1660 super has the same (or any other card) it should work fine without the need of a bigger power supply. Be aware that a 330W power supply works only with a motherboard version of 2.1 or higher (Trident 8th gen and onward).
Have a look on this website for a comparison between the 1060 3G, 1660 Ti 6G and 2060 6G: https://versus.com/en/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1060-mini-itx-3gb-vs-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-mini-itx-oc-vs-gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2060-mini-itx-oc-rev-2-0
I've made an overview of topics with videocard upgrades and some explanation: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=340675.msg1981232#msg1981232
Hope this helps,
