GTX 1050 ti 4gb or GTX 1060 3gb for workstation gaming?

[boobuckybear]

i am buying a gpu to hook it up with a workstation so which one should I buy? I don't know if I should go for the 1060 cuz of the 3 gb VRAM and it's 6gb model is pretty expensive.. so what do you guys suggest? should i buy 1050 ti 4gb or go for the 1060 3gb? i am buying it for playing games on a quad core work station

can you list the pc specs? including monitor res and refresh.
budget?
software you use?
games you play?

A 1060 3GB will out perform the 1050 Ti 4GB, but not significantly. I would base it off of the cost difference.

With the current pricing, 1050 ti:

1060 3gb is doubled price, not worth it.
