Disable secure boot
When I disable secure boot to install a new 1660 super graphics card will it do anything else to the computer?
I have an XPS 8960 want to replace the 1650 super graphics card with a 1660 super graphics card

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) will be disabled after disabling Secure Boot because it requires Secure Boot.
You might have issues with some software installed after you disable Secure Boot, if you attempt to re-enable Secure Boot.
You need to disable Secure Boot for most "retail" GPU cards, and do that before installing the new card.

I'm glad I came across this question - otherwise I probably would not know that Secure Boot needs to be disabled before installing a replacement retail graphics card.
At what point can I re-enable Secure Boot?

@MastiffX You could try installing the GPU leaving secure boot enabled or re-enabling it after the driver install. So long as the GPU you are installing has Uefi firmware, you should not have to disable secure boot.
If it won't post with secure boot enabled, you will have to leave it disabled all the time for the PC to work. Unless you stick the original GPU back in.
