WOW

>3gb
KEK

K E K

im fine with this

AYYYYMDEAD

>Rerelease GTX 970 as a 1060
>Give it even less VRAM

Why do Nvidiots buy this shit again?

At least it's better than the rx460 that only has 2 gb

cool, its cheaper than the 970

8 gb? Who wants 4 gb? You don't really need 3.5 gb, do you?

the fury has 4gb and retards still buy that

Fucking this

more like 2.5GB

>3GB
>gimped gpu

>less CUDAs cores
>less vRAM.
>literally 1050 with another name.

They're mentally challanged.

You might need 4GB in a few years if the console remasters catch on and games are made for those specs. Youd also need it for meme resolutions, but if you could afford that youd buy a different card.
The only VRAM hungry games I can think of are GTAV and modded TES/Fallout

and yet it will sell like hotcakes

Maybe in the US.

Its actually a gimped 1060 yet Nvidia kept the same name
Literally the worst Jews known to tech

They're the fucking worst. Gooks know nothing about decency and ethics.

Fuck this company, seriously.

I guess I see how many people have fallen for the MORE VRAM meme AMD has pushed. Mid range cards will never be able to saturate their VRAM before the GPU itself hits a performance wall. The 1060 is more or less a GTX 980. Even the 980 hits a performance wall in most cases where that VRAM is saturated. In recent times the only time I've hit a VRAM limit is in Rise of the Tomb Raider, which caused me to move very high textures to high, as it caused studders from the VRAM being full.
t. SLI 980 owner

The 3 GB 1060 is a 470 competitor.

I certainly advocate for giving more to consumers, but Nvidia understands the limit of their cards and knows superfluous VRAM is just flashy for marketing.

Is this even legal? Its not a 1060.

worth it to me
it's time to upgrade from my gtx 670

AMD IS FINISHED AND BANKRUPT

>Seriously defending the idea of gimping a card and selling it under the same name

Not worth pissing on.

Nice attempt, Shlomo.

uhh how are you going to play gta v at 90 fps then? idiot

Nvidia can't keep getting away with this!

Buy 6gb version. 3gb has 128 fewer CUDA cores

LESS VRAM
MOAR MONEY

nope cheaper

MORE POWER OVER PCIe

Where are the reviews?

Cheaper than?
RX480 4GB was $199 then you pulled the sticker off and its was 8GB. lol Yea cheaper than what? The 970? What about the 470?

TOPPEST KEK

This is how I know Sup Forums has people under 14

i am still getting the 1060 3gb though

>3GB

>THREE FUCKING GINABOYS

Idiots will buy it thinking it has the full performance.

I wouldn't. Developers will target GTX 980/970, R9 290/290X and RX 480 that all have 4+ GB of memory (well, it is wonky with GTX 970). These cards are all on similar level of performance, so GTX 1060 will be the only outflier with just 3 GB, it will be harming it as the developers target 4GB with games.

It is not "rerelease of GTX 970", and that argument is dumb (whether used against AMD or Nvidia).

as opposed to?

I'm okay with this

>less than 3.5

LOL good luck with large high res textures poorfags

HIGH

that's okay, i just got this today instead

>evga

>nerd

ikr? who the f*ck needs more than 4gb vram on a 1440p card >:)

i don't understand this meme

Sapphire makes a 4gb OC'd one for 140$

>inb4 poorfags get 420 shaders per second and high texture rates

there is no meme
evga has loud, cheaply made graphic cards
they are the ones cutting corners
in the past customer service and warranty were worth slightly worse hardware, but they quit doing that

Why is the 1070 a thing.
It's either:
>1080 for "the shit"
Or
>1060 for "budget but great performance"

The 1070 is a middle ground that anyone can save another 150$ to get to a 1080 from
?

>They know they can't get away with another 3.5GB fiasco
>Sell it as 3GB to avoid any backslash and save up a couple of memory chips in the process

it's over $300 more for a 1080 here

its for 1440p
1080s are pointless because nvidia will announce a HBM counter to AMD within 3 months and render the current high end line obsolete.

Everybody who really wanted a next gen GPU has already decided on or bought a 470, 480, or 1060. This is cashing in on poorfags who decided to stick with what they have and might buy Nvidia now that it's "a little cheaper".

I'd heard their 1060 was pretty good on thermals and quiet.

Fallout 4 really eats VRAM. It's the only game that made me upgrade my 5850.

>binned to shit 1060
nothx.

I still haven't decided ;_;. Nvidia has multiple AIB's cheaper than AMD's, all those companies have better rep than the AMD ones.

The rx 470 is more tempting than the 480 especially with the 8gb MSI for £220.

Nvidia is just selling the 1060 die's with bad cores as the cut down version.

If you are
>Windows only
>a freetard on ubuntu

Go with AMD.

If you

>only play old games and don't buy new ones
go with Nvidia.

places like nowinstock can find you stores that have the card you want in stock and not price gouged to hell.

shadow of mordor
dying light
crysis 3
black ops 3
far cry 4
the division
battlefield 4

all vram heavy games.

Feel sorry for anyone that bought a 480.
AMD is just getting fucking wrecked this generation, they have nothing to compete with.

>3GB
Into the trash. 4 is pushing it but barely acceptable. 3 is useless.

any actual reviews?

Yea, no. It's entirely possible and even common to run out of VRAM before graphics performance in today's market. Textures are pretty much the number one when it comes to taking up space, higher resolution textures (this is independent of display resolution) will require more and more VRAM.

just look at the 6gb benches, it's the exact same card

220 to 240€ in germany
just like the rx480
and both are not available

the waiting continues

Are you implying because of the DX 12 benefits? When on an i5 4690, the benefits merely depend on who the game is geared towards or it's a measley 1-2 frames either way.

My main anxiety with AMD cards is the price and unreliable AIB partners that don't have any UK RMA.

RX 480's are expensive but 470's seem alright.

But then they don't exactly outpace the 1060 at full whack.

I guess it's good if you want a good cool and quiet fan though.

The question is can it handle roblox as good as mine m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16814132041&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile-_-pla-_-Video Cards - Workstation-_-N82E16814132041&gclid=CjwKEAjwudW9BRDcrd30kovf8GkSJAB3hTxFd_6byCY5Kdx9MDpSBdZSWMi9nbzv_gAhNg3DRX8E_BoCwfXw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

No it's not. It's a fucking gimped version.

>how to spot amf shills

I love the one review for it

Good goy.

It was announced by nVidia to be lesser hardware wise than 6gb.

and I'm curious if it's significant difference or not.

How on earth are 480s/470s still not available nearly anywhere? It's been nearly a month since their release. Seems like they're losing sales to people who are unwilling to wait and just pick up 1060s instead. I had a friend who was planning on a 4gb 480 but wound up grabbing a 1060 6gb because they weren't anywhere on the horizon.

I could get a 470 right now. In fact as soon as they were released I could.

£209

I didn't even consider warranty or an user being from the UK. My thoughts basically were DX12, Vulkan, and driver improvements. Have you had cards fail in the past? I personally stopped worrying about warranty once I realized the only card I'd had fail on me was a OC'd GTX8800 that was 3 years out of warranty when it burned up.

Who cares if they don't have UK RMA?
I had to send my Motherboard back to ASUS in US to RMA when I fucked it up, they did send me new part free of charge.

some stores list it as "shipping in august" in one place i saw "available: september 02"

it's actually the 1050, nvidia went full USB 3.1 Gen1/Gen2 with it because they are jewish cunts

Sadly the driver improvements aren't that great.

youtu.be/dh9Akfu90Gs?t=7m38s

Ease of mind and communication, cost me a fair bit to RMA my power supply to the Netherlands, but if I were able to send it to a UK centre and get one shipped back from there it would feel more secure.

I don't agree with naming it 1060 but I think it's hilarious that Nvidia is actually capable of releasing a VR Ready card for $200. The card will literally be on par with a 480 for less money. What happened to that $200 480 AMD?

>3GB

>3gb
>VR ready

MOAR COWBELL

>muh VRAM
You really drank the fucking cool aid huh?

Supply and demand happened.
Until 480s are in stock for more than 4 minutes at a time they will continue to be their current prices. The same with the 3gb
>VR ready
I suppose ultra low res textures can be used in VR resolution, but it's going to look like shit.

>not buying at least an 1070

poorfags kys

you really don't know what VR ready means do you, it's not the same as 1080p High ready.
