Don't buy the 1060 unless you can get the 6GB would be my advice, 3GB isn't enough for a new card and the core is cut down. If you're on 1080p 60Hz I would honestly favor the RX 480 over the 1060 because it's cheaper.

Horvat :
Im from Europe
cards here a more expensive but i think il go for 6GB then But what one to get ?
what version ?
thats just nonsence get the 3gb version.
no games in 1080p use more than 3gb vram , NONE of them.
also the 1060 6gb ram is about 5% faster, can u tell the difference between 60 fps and 57 fps?, i couldnt and i doubt you can.and for what? for 50 more euros?.
get the 3gb

Not true there are plenty of games that bust the 4GB barrier at 1080P...call of duty advanced warfare, assassins creed unity, grand theft auto v, batman arkham knight and thats just to name a few. The OP wants the 6Gb version. Honestly I have no idea why nvidia bothered with a 3GB card at all with the demands of today's modern games.

VERY WRONG. I have an 8GB card and run Afterburner in all my games at 1080p High/Ultra. I know plenty of games that push over 3GB and i can list them. Witcher 3 (~3.2GB), Star Citizen (~4.1GB), Total War Warhammer (~3.5GB), GTA V (~4GB), ARK Survival Evolved (~3.7GB), Assassin's Creed Syndicate (~3.9GB). The list could go on but i don't see why bother, I agree with the GTX 1060 3GB being a terrible move by Nvidia considering the RX offers 4GB at both the competitor (RX 480) and lower tier (RX 470) and Nvidia themselves put 4GB on the lower card (1050 Ti). You can most definitely breach the 3GB barrier in modern games at 1080p High/Ultra settings. Even then, most others games start to pry at 3GB on the dot which is leaving little to no headroom in the future.
*Edit* I don't exactly take screenshots all day while gaming but here is 2 example:
Star Citizen 1080p Very High Settings > https://puu.sh/vdmTC/6e29925d0e.png
Assassin's Creed Syndicate 1080p High Settings > https://puu.sh/vdmVH/f30bd55d44.png
Witcher 3 1080p Ultra Settings > https://puu.sh/vdnfV/451a704568.png (Note: I was testing out HairWorks rip FPS

breaking 4GB barrier though gameworks is the suspect reason but still does it at high settings

busting 4Gb again depending on GPU model
and if you give me a few minutes I can run some screen shots of my own games busting 4GB at 1080P...
edit nm dude above me beat me to the punch,...no screen shots but saying the same things my links back up. sorry your wrong on the 3GB thing.

If your going with a GTX 1060 6GB almost any model is fine. I'd just go with the cheapest you can find unless your concerned with heat being pumped back in the case at which point I'd say you want a blower style model like a founders edition. Personally I go with custom multi-fan set-up even though the spit heat into the case...but I also have a high airflow case and water cool my CPU so I have less worries in regards to where the hot air is pumped out to. Ultimately the choice is yours
