Even with such an old CPU, I can't recommend anything less than a RTX 2060 Super or RTX 2070. DLSS upscaling will make a huge difference, and allow you to use higher quality settings than you would be able to with raw rendering on a GTX 1650/1660 card, and still get better performance. The 8gb of VRAM is considered entry level now. less than that is no longer acceptable, and the higher bandwith matters to reduce stutter. I would even go so far as to recommend a 3060 12gb, as that is in the same performance class as the first two that I mentioned, has better RT and tensor cores, and the 12gb of VRAM doesn't hurt, either. I would not reccomend the 3060 8gb or the 3050, though. They are just garbage. I'm toying with the idea of the 4060, as well, even though that will be badly bottlenecked, you then get DLSS 3 framegen, which has the potential to wake it up even more. They are too expensive right now for such an old machine, though. I would wait until they start hitting the used market for $125-$150.
