Money from poor people

duh thats what all business is about

because of the manufacturing process, some units do not perform as good as they shoud so they are sold as lower tier hardware

its the same with cpus

internet cafe in china, can you read?

bitcoiners in china

If you have enough defective units to make a whole new product line with them, you should probably try to improve your manufacturing process.

Of course after I just upgraded to a 1060 3GB.

Do you have any examples of this happening in the past? Sounds like a shitty business practice from a practical point of view.

it's not meant for consumers like me or you. it's aimed for internet cafes in china. you don't need 6gb of vram to play pubg in china, so a 5gb variant would save costs for the cafes ordering parts.

Give me a 12GB 1170 please

The image you posted literally tells you.

When you're this poor user, you should be happy that your computer can even play games.

Its the best value card period.

3 gb is not enough
even fucking 770 had 4 gigs and 970 had 3,5

Mommy doesn't buy my video cards, and niggers across the world buying them en masse for their crypto bullshit doesn't help either.

should have gotten at least 1070

Maybe it has the same number of cuda cores as the 6gb one, unlike the gimped 3gb one.

1070 price is pretty inflated and you can get 1060 for less than half of its price.
At this point you need to think about buying a new mobo and i5-8600k too.

I would rather have an 1050 with 4GB.
It would work better than this shit.
Also I would wait for a 1150 what could come in next year.

amd did this a lot with the phenom cpus which was almost a decade ago. they just locked the defective cores and sold them as lower tier cpus (4 core cpu to 2 core cpu for example).
consumers could unlock the cores themselves, with varying results.
