I'm considering upgrading to a GTX 1060 for my daughter's PC, but I recently realized I messed up my benchmark comparisons. She's currently using a card from the list here: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bdwdVF](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bdwdVF). She mainly plays games like Minecraft and TF2 with occasional sessions in No Man's Sky. I thought the GTX 1060 was a better option, but I'm not so sure anymore. Is it worth making this upgrade given the specs?

Honestly, upgrading to a GTX 1060 is going to be a significant downgrade from what she currently has. The 6650 XT is a much faster card, scoring way higher in benchmarks. There's no way around it, if you thought the 1060 was better, you probably mixed up your stats. That card is outdated compared to newer options like the 6650 XT.
Thanks for clarifying! I did realize I mixed up the columns after seeing some benchmarks. Really appreciate the heads-up!
