hi guys soo big day for me tomorrow i buying a gtx 1060 3gb will it last atleast 3 to 4 years?i will usually play at *HIGH* settings in 1080p (i know gtx 1060 3gb can handle ultra but will downgrade to high for vram limitation) soo is it worth it ? im upgrading from a HD 6770 and tbh i have to play all games from 2015 till now xdd cause hd 6770 was just not enough... i will probably sell my gtx 1060 after volta comes out... and actually i would get more money after selling as gpu prices here are crazy xD

PC specs:
Ram: 8gigs
CPU : i5 3470
HDD : 1.5tb
Mobo : intel db75en
PSU : corsair VS450
GPU : HD 6670 (CURRENT)

It's going to be a massive upgrade over your current GPU but with Volta coming out in a couple of months I'd either wait or just buy the 1050 ti as a place holder card until Volta, and it would still be a huge step up from that 6670.

Agree, huge upgrade. I just feel 3gb VRAM has no headroom for the future, for the amount of gpu power and running 1080p I feel 3gb is the bare minimum today. It’s impossible to predict how limiting 3gb will be in the next few years but if games do see a continued increase in VRAM requirements 3gb could quite a limiting factor.

Sounds good, if pricing though is so expensive in your country though I can't imagine getting Volta at a reasonable price.
