@Kniazz 7 лет назад

Hey, first wanted to say this is a great channel, you're practically spot on with your reviews and analytics. Definite subscribe. That being said, I'd like to ask - were those GTX 1060 3gb/6gb 1440p and 4k GTA5 tests done on a system with 8 or 16 gb's of RAM? If on 16, is there any chance you can repeat them on a 8gb DDR3 system? (the 1440p Ultra test at least). I have a strong suspicion this is where 1060 3gb will show it's difference with 6gb, as game will be already utilizing full 8 gigs of RAM for own needs, not leaving anything spare for textures. Not asking for a whole new video of that, but would be good to know - as NONE of those reviewers who do benchmarks do it on a 8gb ddr3 system, while ALOT of people have that setup, and not 16-32 gb's of DDR4 (myself incl).. Which, in effect, may end up them being fooled about today performance of 1060 3gb vs 6gb verison based on system specs, and these 2 cards are what people with such system specs will be going for. The ones with 16-32gb ddr4 will go for 1070 or 1080 probably. Checking for stuff like textures not loading in time on 1060 3gb vs 6gb despite the similiar FPS (if it'll be the case) would be appreciated too.

@compmanio36 7 лет назад

If you can help it, good not to allocate more than possible usage though. You allocate more than you have and the game crashes. Was having this issue on my 2 GB card previously.

UPDATE 2 - While I've been sick, I can't help but mess around with these things... :) I've been trying various GTA V settings out, including my first use of ShadowPlay recording, which I don't like because it affects the performance, but it isn't as bad as I thought it might be... Before I get to the GTX 1060 cards... here is my game computer from home: Intel i5-6500 16GB RAM EVGA GTX 970 FTW H170 1080p - ShadowPlay is taking about 5% of the overall performance, sometimes as little as 3%, but I'm calling it 5% as I've seen that from time to time. 4K - ShadowPlay is taking 10% of the performance and this is fairly steady. 1080p - Very High - FXAA - Recording Off - Avg 91 - Min 66 - Max 132 1080p - Very High - FXAA - Recording On - Avg 86 - Min 57 - Max 120 4K - High - No FXAA - Recording Off - Avg 61 - Min 43 - Max 78 4K - High - No FXAA - Recording On - Avg 55 - Min 38 - Max 71 I've run these multiple times and tested other settings to see how repeatable they are... Now I'm going to stick the 1060 cards in and compare... Not sure when I'll upload the videos, I want to do a voice over and I'm still sick, but there are some results from the 970 FTW card (running at EVGA's shipped FTW speed)

@Machtyn 7 лет назад

YES! Check out Newegg.com's BF deals which are going on right now. I've seen 1060s for less than $199!! And here's the question I have for Tech Deals. If there's a $20 difference between the 3GB and 6GB version, would you then go for the 6GB version? I think I would. Because, here's my next question, As I put add-ons onto my Bethesda games, will I have to worry about that 3GB cap? For me, I just quite justify $400 for a graphics card. I've had a hard time justifying $300. So, that leaves me to buy graphics cards that are already 2 years old.

@TechDeals 7 лет назад

For $20 the 6GB version is worth it all day long. The difference was $50 when they launched...

@hir0406 7 лет назад

hi, thanks a ton for such a great video which helped a lot for me to make decision to buy even 1060 6gb sc but my problem is that I don't understand this technical stuff at all so I need your little more help.... I have motherboard Gigabyte H81M-S1.... and it says it have 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 2 x PCI Express x1 slots (The PCI Express slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.) ... so will this card work with this?????

@kiim2606 7 лет назад

Best tech channel, and yes the PSYCHOLOGICAL worry about buying gear especially technology is real and is (i'd say) 80% causing the regret on buying something a bit cheaper, while 20% MAY be the performance. Very smart of you talking about it. +1sub

@215Days 7 лет назад

Surprised that there's no comment saying there IS one game (which should be known too) that needs 6GB of VRAM for Ultra detail; Shadow of Mordor. Even so, benchmarks shows that it tends to use only up to 4, the 6 may be for 'security'. Other than that, 6GB of VRAM can be a big future proof, so it just MAY be worth getting, although not for another 50, Nvidia is just too damn greedy nowadays.

@ShadowTheNinjaKitty 7 лет назад

215Days Late reply but I actually got stuttering on ultra texture with my 4gb RX 480 until I set it to high (recommended at least 3gb of vram)

@mikulover8396 7 лет назад

I chose the GTX 1060 3gb mainly because it plays all the games I WANT to play. By the time most games require more than 3gb of vram to play on high there will already be a new gpu at the $200 range such as gtx 1160 or rx 580.

@bronypage 7 лет назад

i mean in all honesty, buying a 6gb will probably only save you like half a year before you feel the need to upgrade, if that (compared to 3gb)

@Adolphification 7 лет назад

yeah, besides in my country the price difference is $70-$80 or more...that's quite huge for many people.....as vram capacity relation with future gaming, like you said, you either buy new GPUs or there can always be compromise in settings

@christoffelmiddel6663 7 лет назад

depends on prices in each country, 3gb cost me 289 coins and 6 gb 310 coins. The I'd go for the 6gb 310 coins.

@johnathonwaymire9483 7 лет назад

Yeah but we have no guarantee they're going to be good or cheap or even work with your Psu by them

@g0dk1ller123 7 лет назад

In my country the 6gb is 100 euros more expensive... it's just bs. Since I only play in 1080p I bought the 3gb one, I think I had no choice. If the difference was really only 30 euros or something as some people say I would go straight to the 6gb but that's not the case. I feel kinda worried though about future games since they are asking more and more vram because of the textures. But even if they ask more I think I could still play them by just going down a little bit in the textures quality since that's the main thing that requires more vram in the gpu. Anyways, I don't really know why NVidia had the "amazing" idea to launch this 3gb gpus would it be too much for them to keep the 4gb standard as they had in some previous cards... idk, but I think that this was the correct solution for me I wouldn't certainly pay 100 more euros for more fuckin 3gb to play at 1080p 60hz with just a little boost on the texture resolutions I just think that's dumb and too much money.

My first serious graphics card was a Radeon 7870, and it had 2GB of VRAM. Everyone at the time said 2GB is plenty. It wasn't even a year later that the 2GB of VRAM started limiting what games I could play and at what settings. The price difference isn't that big now ($200 vs $180), so I'll go with the 6GB for futureproofing reasons.

@Darksider087 6 лет назад

Just got mine for 300eu after taxes, never getting a low vram card ever again. Last card I had was the 960 2gb and had to lower some settings due to lack of vram, I hated that feeling cause it was seriously holding the card back. The 3gb model here is no improvement either, anyone thats thinking of getting one or the other, dont think, get the 6gb or youll definitely regret it because this card is pretty beast but I can already see that 3gb limit as a problem, most AAA games at ultra will require 4gb minimum, so whats the point in having a card that can withstand ultra easily but gets choked by the lack of vram. These days cards should be standard 6gb minimum, hell I would have gotten an 8gb model of there was.

The 7970 is having some weird shader issues in GTA V (there's a video on my channel) that I just can't fix. This video has helped me decide that the 3gb EVGA 1060 SC is the card for me. Thank you!

What about the asus gtx 1060 dual? On specs it says the slot width is dual slot, does that mean i need to pci express slots?

@youtubesucks494 7 лет назад

dual slot means it takes up two of the slots on the back of the case. but i think the dual in their naming in that instance refers to dual fans. it will also still take up 2 slots on the back of the case

Absolutely loved this video, however, it has been almost one whole year since this upload, do you still believe that the 3 GB variant is all someone will need? or Do you think the 6 GB is the better buy? I want to know especially because I am working on a VR Build and want to know if those 3 extra gigabytes are worth it. Thanks! :D

@TechDeals 6 лет назад

+InSaiyanArtz Neither, for VR I would get a GTX 1080

Dear tech deals , how much power does gigabyte GeForce gtx 1060 3gb consumes , The power supply in my desktop is 400 watt , does it require more , Thank you

400W with a 6 or 8 pin PCIE power connector depending on the model.

Hi, i'm building my first computer to play games eventually and i know you said the deal is for a 1060 3gb but this is back in 2016. knowing that we are almost in 2018 what should i buy to keep arround 2 or 3 years and play everything or almost, in 1080p in 60fps? i know i can buy a 1060 3gb and it will play a lot of games at 60 fps but will it run in high or lower in 2018?.. i want to play in ultra right now for this year coming. thanks to help me out because i'm really hesitating between 1050Ti, 1060 or even 1070 just to be futur proof. or should i wait for next gen gpu?

@r3mixdaxim3r 7 лет назад

@Tech Deals I wanna get this card but I'm undecided between the 3 and 6. Basically I will be playing PUBG and Destiny 2 with whatever card I end up with. Going to play on a 1080p resolution. So I wanna get the card that will keep me at a stable 50-60fps. What do you recommend?

@michaeloffgrid 7 лет назад

I can't wait to hear your review of the 1050 Ti when it comes out!!!

@michaeloffgrid 7 лет назад

Did you recently buy a 1070? I doubt it will.

@michaeloffgrid 7 лет назад

Yuck Foutube Yeah, I'm thinking the 1050ti may capture that sweet spot of being a great budget card for years, like the 750ti was. I mentioned it because it's the perfect card for this channel to discuss.

13:09 I agree, but there is one thing I do disagree with: 80 percent of their *pc* market is gone, not their full market. We all know the game will sell very quick, *on consoles* I may even get it on my ps4 as I save for my first major purchase, my first desktop.

@AwesomeSauce7176 7 лет назад

@Zxkyyy 7 лет назад

So.... My rig needs some help. CPU: Intel Core i7 4790 4.6Ghz GPU: Nvidia GeForece GTX 750Ti Now i already have a PSU with PCI express pins even though i don't use them. I was thinking of getting a GTX 980 or 1060 But in this video he mentions that "if you have an i7 you should be getting a 1070" HELP MEEEEEEEEE.........

@Tbonedoesfsx 7 лет назад

go for the 1060 6gb or rx480 8gb. Not because the 3gb sucks, but if you can afford a 980 (which are like 260 bucks atm) you should go for the more _"future proof"_ cards.

@MrRoko91 7 лет назад

That's almost as unbalanced for gaming as most pre-builds and laptops on the market :D You usually want your video card to be more expensive than your CPU. In your case you have very strong CPU therefore the least expensive video card which meets the criteria is GTX 1070 :) Just of curiosity how you made the decision to pair i7 4790 with GTX 750TI?

@Tbonedoesfsx 7 лет назад

You got a prebuilt didn't you?

@eyeiszik2891 7 лет назад

watch dogs 2 at very high or ultra needs more than 3gb of vram. I'm probably going to go with the 6gb card because I have a GTX 960 SE with 2gb of vram and I want to play newer games at higher fps. Good video btw (i know watch dogs 2 was released after this video just pointing out)

@KingPat_Rick 7 лет назад

Steven P. Yeah that game isn't optimized well. Especially for many who immigrated with their counter strike computers

@freddyfredrickson 6 лет назад

I have a question. If the game texture data requires more memory than the vram available on the card and it's in starts using the slower system memory as a supplement, would that still be the case if you're doing 3D graphics using blender? Basically I am asking if a blender project ends up needing more memory than the vram has available, will the card offload some of the memory demands on to the slower system Ram?

Does VRAM get affected when running multiple programs? Say if I have a modelling program open or doing rendering, while at the same time playing a high demand game. Would it be better to have 6 GB instead of 3 GB in this case?

@homerthompson416 7 лет назад

I love the channel, but I have to disagree on not being able to tell the difference between 54 fps and 60 fps. On my 60 Hz screen I can notice a pretty big difference from anything 55 fps and below versus 60 fps. Maybe it's because I play with vsync on and always try to tailor settings to get a consistent 60 fps. Now 57 fps is close enough to 60 fps that I usually can't tell the difference unless I have a frame counter onscreen, but 54 fps I feel like I can catch most of the time. So many times I feel like I'm getting a frame drop and then I press the button I have setup for showing stats and the frame counter says 55 or 53 or something in that range.

@MrRoko91 7 лет назад

It's normal - the best framerate is constant framerate. I'm ready to argue that 30 fps lock is better than fluctuating between 30 and 60 fps - our brain just can't adapt to the constant changes in fps that quickly. I remember the days when I played GTA San Andreas with frame limiter in the menu which caped to 25 fps (which was preferable because of the huge fluctuations in the framerate in different areas) and it still felt silky smooth because my brain got used to it :)

@stevenfores9164 7 лет назад

I am the same way. however, if you are comparing the 6gb vs 3gb at a 60fps cap or vsync then chances are you will still hit that cap.
