Is the 3gb that bad for the 1060? I'll be upgrading from a 650ti and just wanna play games in 1080p without lagging. I don't mind if it's not ultra settings tho.

I can't find a good answer on if it's worth the extra $60

If you can get the 6gb id go for that but it's still a damn good card. It's actually better than my old 970
It should be able to play all current games no problem

>3GB
>in the current year
You'll hate yourself for not spending the extra $40.
I bought the 960 2GB when it came out and right away the memory was a problem, and it's just going to get worse.

Also, don't buy the evga with the single fan, it's the one with the heating problems because of a badly positioned heatsink. Either buy the SSC with double fans, or another brand.

6gb is definitely worth it, like user said you'll hate yourself in 2 years if you stick with 3

It's a $75 difference from what I've been able to find.

i thought the extra GB was only for if you recorded gameplay and/or streamed on twitch

The prices are fucked up now, the 6GB cost me $240 when I got it.

What would memory have to do with streaming?

I ordered a 3gb for 240 in store pickup at bestbuy by July 12. I have until it's available to cancel the order. 6gbs are $300

> Upgrading from a 650ti

Yeah, you'll probably be good. That's already a huge leap in generational difference.

>order the 6GB version
>store is run by a "friend"
>it arrives 1 week later
>it's the 3GB version
>It's another brand

That piece of shit, I wanted to punch him in the face but he's a frail lanklet and would probably cry and sue me, and I couldn't sue him since he is broke as fuck.

Anyway, the card works great, there's not a single game I can't max out at 1080p, but I fear for the future.

What do you mean by max out?
Rise of the tomb raider drops to the low 20s with the 3GB, and even the 6GB can't hold 60fps at 1080p, it drops to the 40s in some places.

Get the 6 GB one and make sure your covered so you won't need an upgrade for longer.

But prices right now are all sorts of fucked up due to cryptocurrency.

I haven't played that game, I don't like Tomb Raider, but GTA V, and DOOM, run on ultra settings at 60 with drops, I also have a 4GHz processor so it might be that

I'm gonna call bullshit on that. GTA5 needs more than 3Gb if you're maxing it. Unless you mean allowing it to drop to under 50fps which is not "maxing it", any game can be "maxed" if you disregard how it plays.
Doom might be fine.

But if I'm not looking to completely max the fuck out of games I should be okay right? I can't even run Nier Automata on low with this 650ti

OK

Yeah, if you want to mix high/mid settings you'll be fine. My point was that it's better to wait until you can afford the 6GB version, because it will last longer and play better. Honestly, I don't get why they even have the 3GB version, it's wasting the rest of the card's power.

You're full of shit pal, there are numerous consumer protection statutes that would have your "friend" thrown in the slammer on top of hefty fines. Get your money back you utter cuck weasel.

You don't need more than 3GBs at 1080p unless you're running something like modded Skyrim with oversized texture packs or similarly unoptimized pieces of shit like Assassin's Creed: Unity or Arkham Knight.

Oh , I forgot, I don't use antialiasing, it gives you less frames, input lag, everything looks blurry, and it looks like shit in general.

I don't live in the US user, I'd spend way more money trying to get my money back. And I doubt any judge here would even bother to read about the case. Besides, it was an oral contract, with no witnesses.

I can afford a 6gb I just don't really care about graphics that much. I've been running a 650ti for like 4 years now. I've grown accustomed to subpar settings and as a primary consolefag I don't mind too much. I just literally can't move in some games now and others straight up won't run.

How does antialiasing cause input lag?

Well, apparently it doesn't, I guess having a shit tier in the past and trying on different graphics options AA included made me reach that conclusion.

Still, motion blur, AA, and all of that pointless shit is always off.

*tier

Meant rig

Get the 6gb

what's the not-shit in power supplies right now
