Question GTX 1060 VRAM Confusion

[box o rocks]

I notice sometimes the GTX 1060 is listed as 5160 MB instead of 6GB (6144 MB). Why is that? Which is correct?

Interesting, is it possible that it is showing utilization instead of the actual VRAM amount?

Thanks folks. I'm hunting now trying to remember where I saw that listed. And, yes, this was referring to the amount of available vram.

Apparently Nvidia made 3 different vram sizes. Thanks for helping me clear this up.
