@tushar4544 -

Sorry, this is not quite true.

One of the main things you need to consider when selecting a graphics card is the memory bandwidth of the onboard video RAM.

Memory bandwidth is basically the speed of the video RAM. It's measured in gigabytes per second (GB/s). The more memory bandwidth you have, the better.
A video card with higher memory bandwidth can draw faster and draw higher quality images.

However, there's more to video cards than just memory bandwidth. You also have to consider the drawing speed.

There's little point in getting a video card with a very fast GPU and limited memory bandwidth because the memory will be the bottleneck.

Hope this helps. See what your motherboard supports for the graphics slot and go equal or a bit higher in the bandwidth.

FWIW

did mention that in later post , you are like re-quoting me

Looks like it's better than a 1650:UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB vs 1650

and inferior to a 1660 ti: UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB vs 1660-Ti

I don't know which, if any, of those would meet your needs.
