poorfag

>>61623965
is there a major difference? I'm building a pc right now and currently plan on getting the 3gb 1060

>>61623824
>paying the Nvidia tax

>>61626843
Yes there is a big difference between 3 GB and 6 GB 1060's

>>61626877
should I put in the extra money for the upgrade?

>when RX 580 8GB costs less (including 21% tax) than GTX 1060 6GB (excluding tax)
nvidia is truly the cuck's choice

>>61623824
$260 isn't all that bad.

>2017
>3GB VRAM

>>61626843
The VRAM is for loading textures, 3gb will be fine for overwatch, starcraft, cs:go and other relatively "compact" games. But things with big overworlds or very detailed textures will surely suffer, and in the near future even normal games will easily reach 3gb on medium/high settings. Unless you're planning on playing primarily moba's and arena style shooters, you should definitely go for 6/8GB GPUs.

>>61627684
>t. full of shit
No game requires more than 3GB VRAM atm.

where did you get this?

>>61623824
those are canadian prices retard.

>>61623824

You're getting cryptocucked. Basically nothing but the cards that have bad mining to cost ratios, like the low as fuck end <1050 and ultra high end >1080 escape the Cryptojew.

>>61623824

Those prices look to be right on par with the MSRP in Canada so I think you're either accidentally setting PCPartPicker to Canada pricing or you're a Canadian who has been misled by seeing American pricing online a lot and expecting cheaper.

>>61623824
Really?? I just bought the asus gtx 1080ti oc and i thought that was expensive

>>61627845
At this point you might as well get a 1080 lmao

>>61628639
The fact that it uses 8gb vram doesn't mean that it requres 8gb vram, brainlet.

>>61628711
It says 3800 on gpu memory you inbred faggot, and that's more than 3gb

tfw I paid $240 for both so technically $210 for the gpu only ayyy

>>61628659
Yeah well he did say 3 gigs, not 4, and even in the screenshot it's not even at 4

>>61628711
Well if you're planning on playing literally anything above 1080p you are gonna hit that minimum pretty easily. And even so, Elite is an extremely lightweight game, and using 4 Gigs already, so yeah...

I looked around more and they've got the 1070 for a bit more than 500. They also have pic related but I'm not sure if I need it, since I'm only going to go for 1440p/60 (which I still need to buy a monitor for too).

>>61628762

Oh shit I was looking at the RAM like a retard

>>61627845
I bought two of those for 278 USD each just two weeks ago.

>>61628880
fucking delete this

Did you get them used or something?

>>61623824
Cryptocurency got it.

I was stupid lucky. I found an extremely good deal 1 week before the prices started going sky high. In Romania, the average price of the 1060 6GB was around 348 USD (cheapest model) (EU taxes prices) before the crisis, best offer being around 322 USD but it would instantly sellout at that price. Found a popular store selling a few of them for 296 USD to get rid of them for new stock, they were brand new too. It was lower than the majority of the 1060 3GB's prices. Low end cooler on it with RAM exposed but it's running at 9gbps OC'd and the core is sitting around 1900 Mhz all the time when gaming anything more intense. Perfect card but a bit noisy over 65% cooler speed. Still, don't care. For that price, it's a steal (at least in Romania).

After that, all the 1060's suddenly disappeared and then they reappeared after about a week and a half. My model, even tho lower end 1060 6GB, was costing 464 USD. A fucking 170 USD increase. That price would've gotten you second hand 1070s in almost mint condition. Prices are still dropping but it's still way too fucking high to get yourself one. It's simply not worth it and we got a few cryptocurency miners who literally spilled hundreds of RX 480's 470's 580's 570's and 1060's and 1070's on our online bazaars. Main problem being the fact that those cards went trough massive stress. It's like getting it after it went trough 72 hours of constant esports gaming while the PC had only 1 fan blowing inside the case and the case itself was in another closed box with no ventilation.

Technically not wrong, if you want to run every game on low resolution textures like a nigger
