GPU UPGRADE... Aussie Prices Suck...

[JackdotX]

Soooo I am in Australia and GPU prices are ridiculous and a 3gb 1060 cost about $350 (260 us at the moment) is 3gb or save a bit longer and get 6gb? I'm would also like to stick with Nvidia but any suggestions
Specs:
I3 6100
8gb ram
2 TB HDD
120 SSD Boot
ASROCK H110m
Corsair 500w
750 ti OC

I think the 1060 is a great choice. Personally, I would save for the 6gb. Newer games are using more and more graphics ram. In 2-3 years, who knows how much they will need. My 7870 with 2gbs of ram has had the memory maxed out by gta v (the computer uses the system ram when the graphics ram runs out, causing large stutters).

I wouldn't get the 3GB version nowadays, games are getting more and more VRAM hungry, 2GB is not enough right now, and some games are actually demanding more than 3GB. The 4 GB RX 480 is priced at the same price that the 3GB 1060 (at least in the US) and it's a much better deal than the 3GB 1060.

I really want to stick with Nvidia, from what I've seen the 3gb can hit 1080p 60 especially with Nvidia Optimization it's really future proofing and I'll aim for the 6gb
