Hi,
I can't decide between the GTX 1050 Ti for 150 euro and the GTX 1060 3GB for 215 euro. The other cards aren't for me (need a small one for my mini ITX case + only cards that are around their MSRP where I live).
 
There is no doubt the 1060 is the better card, even the 3gb model. So if you want the better card and have the extra money, then go with the 1060. But if you are tight on money then buy the 1050ti. Just know this, both of the cards are at the bottom of the product stack. They will not be fantastic cards in several years. So I would probably spend less and get the 1050ti knowing that in a year or two, I will get an upgrade.

Well....... I can't really spent more than that, and already used my GTX 650 Ti 1GB card for 4 years now.
Don't mind dropping the VRAM intensive settings (or other for that matter), I'm quite informed in what all of these do. If there's just a way at 1080p that I can play the latest games - I'm happy.

GTX1060 3GB for ~220 is probably the best valued GPU right now since all the rest is inflated as <mod edit>. So I'd get that.

Alright, thanks. Really thinking I should get the 1060 3GB card even though it has "only" 3GB's of VRAM.
Well, I've used my GTX 650 Ti with 1GB VRAM for 4 years, so I should be fine with this new one ;)
