some games at 1080P with push 3 gigs. like shadows of mordor or doom will push that. so going with 6 will also help future proof the card aswell

I would choose 6GB, think more in the future, and if the diference is ONLY $50, 100% 6GB

6GB i believe worth for 5 years at least. Unless something VERY crazy happens

better textures more vram required > 6 GB future proof for the next 2-3 years

GTX 1060 GB and 3 GB don't have the same specs. They are slightly different, as like 3 GB version has less CUDA cores and texture units.
So if youi want to have "full" 1060 go for 6 GB version.

If you want a card to last 3 years then go for the 8gb rx 480- the 6gb will become a limit later on if you want ultra textures and AA, otherwise go for the 6gb 1060

I'm not sure why they even make a 3GB version of the 1060. That's not enough vram for 1080p anymore. I'd argue that even 4GB is a questionable purchase, at least if someone wants to use the card for a couple years+. Go with the 6GB :)

Nowadays 4 GB VRAM seems to be the minimum if you want to use the thing for a while. That 3 GB version is sitting on the comfortable "who in their right mind would buy this?" category. (At least the AMD cards are 4 GB and 8 GB, so there a buyer can actually consider getting the smaller one.)

Just get the 6gb. I can explain why but the price difference isn't worth shooting yourself in the foot.

The reason I ask is because I've been doing research and I've been conflicted. While you can save $50-$70 by going with the 3GB over the 6GB, more games seem to be using 4GB+ of VRAM. However, there's only a 5-10% decrease in performance when using the 3GB so you really get value for the 3GB.
Thoughts?
