You've upgraded your RAM to 16GB, and the new chip runs at 2666MHz with dual channels. The slight difference from the previous 2950MHz is minimal, especially since you're using it for light work and gaming. It should still provide a noticeable boost without breaking the bank.

It does affect performance noticeably in demanding tasks, yet using dual-channel significantly improves speed compared to single-speed operation. I’d prefer the lower speeds for greater capacity.

What CPU do you own and which graphics card? A drop of about 10% in RAM speed isn't always problematic, though it can affect performance based on other components and software.

I own a gtx1650 with 4GB RAM and an i5-10400 processor. Mostly I play software games, especially GTA, some racing titles, and used to enjoy Apex. I use AutoCAD, FL Studio, Netflix, and general browsing.

You're using two memory modules with varying rates, and both will operate at the slower one's speed. Your motherboard chipset is likely H410 or B460, which adhere to JEDEC 2666 for the 10GB modem. If you're using Z490, B560 or Z590, unlocked memory support applies. Regardless, 2x8 at 2666MHz is better than 1x8 at 2950MHz for your needs.

I'm not certain about the motherboard chipset you're using, but I understand you're curious about what was being discussed. If you think a 2x8 2666MHz is better, that's fine with me.
