Hi, I recently ordered a gtx 1060 6gb for $165 total on Ebay. Well, unfortunately they sent me a 3gb model. I've applied for a refund and the seller offered a partial refund. I said I wanted a full return/refund and they agreed.
But now I'm wondering(because I really had my heart set on the 6gb model), is it really worth it? GPU's have dropped in price a lot recently. But is the 6gb model really worth the hasstle of returning and then rebuying for 3gb's more of VRAM?
I play games like Final Fantasy 15 on pc, a Ram hog. Is it worth it, or should I just take the partial refund offer and keep this card? I also was hoping to do some light DSR in games like Witcher 2 and a several other older games, not newer ones with DSR. I'm afraid the 3gb model won't do as good. I haven't tested it a ton, cuz I plan to return it. Thoughts?
P.S. I've owned the 6gb 1060 in the past, had to sell it 2 years ago. I really liked it. I just can't wrap my mind around settling for the 3gb, thinking it's gonna suck for current games. lol. But all the benchmarks show like a 10fps difference at 1080p max settings for current games. SO...I really don't know man. Should I keep the 3gb model and get the partial refund..
What about in the future going for the 1070 as well? Obviously trying to squeeze as much life out of my current setup as possible. Speaking of which, should I return the 1060 3gb model and buy the 1070 instead? I've wondered if it would bottlneck my system bad with my I5 4460 cpu, but most people seem to say it would be fine.
Edit: Oh, and of course here are my specs: Cpu- I5-4460
Windows 10
12gb Ram
Gtx 1060(3gb vs 6gb)
