Which games are going to be limited by 3GB vram of GTX 1060?

[Akram Ali]

So, I've bought the GTX 1060 Zotac Amp! edition 3GB card and paired it with i5-2500.
Is 3gb vram going to be an issue in 2018? Should I be able to game at 1080p 60fps with all the settings turned up?

Try PUBG ultra settings,but in 2K
And yes gtx 1060 3gb can play all games in the highest possible settings(no AA) in 1080p 60hz

I should have mentioned, I won't play any online multiplayer games. Just AAA games like AC origins..

I would not worry.

VRAM has become a marketing issue.
My understanding is that vram is more of a performance issue than a functional issue.
A game needs to have most of the data in vram that it uses most of the time.
Somewhat like real ram.
If a game needs something not in vram, it needs to get it across the pcie boundary
hopefully from real ram and hopefully not from a hard drive.
It is not informative to know to what level the available vram is filled.
Possibly much of what is there is not needed.
What is not known is the rate of vram exchange.
Vram is managed by the Graphics card driver, and by the game. There may be differences in effectiveness between amd and nvidia cards.
And differences between games.
Here is an older performance test comparing 2gb with 4gb vram.

Spoiler... not a significant difference.
A more current set of tests shows the same results:

And... no game maker wants to limit their market by
requiring huge amounts of vram. The vram you see will be appropriate to the particular card.

FWIW, there is more to the GTX1060 6gb version than 3 more gb of vram.
The 6gb version has more CUDA cores
