More Vram is primarily used for textures in games.Additionally in rendering or editing,the textures and other items are cached in the vram for the gpu to use,hence monstrous 12gb cards.

More VRAM is also needed for high Anit-Aliasing. The next question is: how high do you plan on going with DSR?

Regarding performance: the 6GB 1060 is about 10% faster for 30% more money. The thing we don't know, though, is how VRAM intensive the games will get in the future. Maybe they won't, maybe they will.

If you're on a tight budget: get the 3GB.

1)well id have to choose between a case with a window with a red and black build (i5 6500, gaming x 1060 3gb) or just a closed normal build with (gtx 1060 msi armor and i5 6500)
if the 6gb can you tell me the best variant that isnt too pricey i use primeabgb.com
2) i dunno much about dsr. all i know is it help increase the eye candy and make 768p look somewhat like 1080p or 4k too. but that can happen only if you can get 60fps and a 6gb should help here . so i guess ill want to make my display look like 1080p if thats actually what dsr is. sorry if ive mistaken the concept

DSR will usually improve your image quality but to an extent. It won't get you the true 1080p or 4k but it can fine-tune some details that'd be jagged otherwise.

If noise is not an issue I'd suggest going with a Palit/Gainward GTX1060 Dual. They're the cheapest. They work perfeclty fine but you will hear the graphics card on full load.

Like this 6GB card.

If you can afford it, go for the 6GB just to be extra safe. If your budget is extra tight get the 3GB.

The 3GB 1060 is an excellent card. Price/Performance king, IMO. At 1080p DSR you should be perfectly fine and in worst case you'll just have to live without DSR in the future in some games.
