Anyone still using a GTX 1060?

So... to revisit I am on the hunt for a RTX 2060 6gb however, each time I find one to fit my budget it gets snatched before I can get it. I have a 650 watt PSU and the required PSU is a 500 watt. So I think this would suit me. I may just go ahead and move to 4.16 but have my backup DS version handy. I am not a techy so a lot of what is mentioned in benchmarks and such are kinda past me. What I gather, and I maybe wrong, is that the present drivers are no use to a bloke using a GTX card but more geared to RTX cards? I guess I just wanted to understand and reword my question can I use 4.16 on a GTX 1060 or should I just stay where I am and just use 4.12 on a GTX 1060? I mean I am not unhappy with my current setup I just have been seeing some really cool figures that require 8.

With an 6GB RTX card, you can fit 1GB more textures+geometry on the GPU's VRAM than with a 6GB GTX card when rendering Iray, which means you can have textures+geometry take 2.5GiB's instead of just 1.5GiB's.
