this video might help u decide between 3gb or 6gb. but given the price of the palit 6gb on lazada (314), it might be better to get the 6gb one.

y the vid no benchmark.. or did i miss it

If 1060 is going to be your long term card, go for 6gb. 3Gb if u planning to change gpu like <2 years. Reason being most games now do not fully utilize the full 3gb vram with a few exception of course. Future games however have higher chances of using more vram.

2 years is also generally the time a new series is released.

gtx 1070 for no brainer and even mor significant boost from the 1060.

the vid dun have benchmarking i think. it's more of a logical choice for the budget conscious.

well... palit gtx 1070 retails for $555 on lazada.. zotac 1070 mini retails for 579.. plus you get some savings from codes etc and CC rebates.. its a good deal and worth the $200 jump from 1060.

I bought the 1070 recently and was playing Assasins Creed Syndicate. I noted for certain scenes fps was 30+ and took up alot of GPU processing, gpu temp remained fairly low <70c... Settings were all Ultra High (except for AA). If you are playing newer AAA titles, i would suggest going for the 1070 which could at least buffer you for the next 2.5years-3yrs.

Assasins creed usually use the same game engine for their games for couple of years and Syndicate is new game engine release in 2015. I would assume that is same for other game developers.

Expensive yes. But it depends on your budget really. If u don't expect ultra settings for your games, stick with the 1060. 1060 can run current games at ultra on 1080p with some adjustments. It's all about what u really want.

$314 for palit 1060 vs 515 for a 1070. Your pick.

If planning to upgrade to 1440p <2 years then by all means go for 1070. If not, you won't see much difference in performance at 1080p@60hz so why spend more?

When the new series comes out around 2 years later i believe the xx60 will be comparable to the present 1070 judging from the gpu trend so it wont be too late and certainly more affordable to upgrade to 1440p then
