I wish.
Minecraft, don't think so.
Mining, a bit, heaps of people offloading bulk lots of cards on other forums recently.
I don't care if it's Minecraft or a bunch of big blokes in hi-viz jackets and hardhats in Western Australia… just quit hogging all the cards!
Dunno if 3GB is really worth it, especially if you plan on trying to use this card for a long time into the future.
For the price it sure is, most "gaming" laptops will be 3GB, just can't crank AA
Why are gaming laptops relevant to whether or not buying this card is a good idea? If you had the money to buy a gaming laptop, you could buy a 1080Ti if you wanted to.
Depending on what you want to do with this card it might make no sense buying it. If you play games which aren't graphically intensive then you might not need to upgrade or yo could wait longer and get a better card. If you have years between upgrades this thing will be dated pretty quickly.
Trying to cheap out on your gfx card doesn't seem to make any sense to me in the medium or long term.
But, people can spend their money however they like.
Yep, you sold me. Should work at a computer shop, give everyone your words of wisdom
It is perfectly fine.
Even the GTX 1060 6GB cannot play all games on Ultra at 1080p and maintain 60fps, so they'll either play below 60fps or with lower settings, so compromises will happen anyway. Whoever buys the 1060 3GB should be able to play games at 1080p, close to 60fps if they turn down a few settings like Anti-Aliasing to 2x and Textures from Ultra to High.
The price is good, performs better than the 1050Ti which is still a good card for 1080p gaming.
Agreed. Best to wait for the Geforce 2000 series next year. In this day and age, 4GB is the minimum you want. I'm anticipating that within the next 2-3 years, a GTX970 (4GB) will become the minimum requirement for a lot of games. However, if you are only planning on keeping this card for less than 2 years, it could be a good buy. Back in the late 90s/early 2000s I used to replace my video card once a year, but these days it's more like once every 5 years.

Can this do bitstream DTS HD audio like the AMD?
Can your Fnord operate on the wrong side of the road?
Has the Minecraft craze finally died away and prices returned to normal??
