1060 3gb vs 6gb

[Compact5]

Hi there. I’m planning on getting this 3gb card... https://m.cclonline.com/product/215054/NE51060015F9-1061D/Graphics-Cards/PALIT-Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-1060-3GB-Graphics-Card/VGA3601/

But for the extra £15 ish is it worth me getting this instead. Or is there not much difference?

Thanks.

Defenetly worth the extra 15 dollars, gainward is a good brand.

Note that the 3GB version of the 1060 also has 10% of its cores disabled, so performance ends up being around 10% slower, even when the lower memory limit doesn't come into play.

If they're that close in price, paying a bit more for the 6GB version is likely a good option. The 3GB one there does appear to have a dual fan cooler though, which would likely be a bit quieter under load.

Which would you personally go for?

for 15 extra , it's handsdown the 1060 6gb. regardless of brand (in this instance.)
