MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 3 GB @ techPowerUp

What is this? hardware enthusiasts are trying to save money?!?

I'm all for getting something on the cheap, I have done it but, I also realize that certain things just cost a certain amount and while I may try finding the best price that doesn't mean I am afraid of spending money.  Case in point the GTX 1060 is supposed to come with 6GB of memory so why are companies making 3GB versions?

MSI's GTX 1060 Gaming X 3 GB might come with half the memory amount only, but still brings the big guns in form of the large dual-fan TwinFrozr cooler. Our review will test whether 3 GB is a viable alternative to 6 GB if you are trying to save some money.

Oh, I know why.  because consumers are cheap and really have no idea what they are buying.  Shop owners are also taking advantage of this and will eventually only stock the cheap version and raise the price.

Seems like a good idea.

Well, if you are curious about how badly a 3GB version of the GTX 1060 will perform then check out this review.  Be warned though it will be..... *snip*
