GTX 1060 6GB or 3GB

I want to run ACC in 50 fps at least, at medium settings, even in rain conditions with AI. I'm playing in 2560x1080 resolution. I will pair this 1060 with an i5-4690k or i7-4770. My aim is to minimize costs, I'm not that rich yet to buy an RTX 2080
So, is 3GB version of GTX 1060 enough or should I pay a little more for 6GB version?
It would be nice to have a reply from someone who's using 1060 3GB.

 

As big as you can

Buy a used 1070 instead. They go for an average of $200.

The 1060 benchmarks next to a 980 so I wouldn't get either especially if you have a performance goal beyond traditional 1080p in mind.

 

GTX1060 is ok with medium settings, for 50 FPS at the 2560x1080. But you need the 6GB version. The 3 GB will frequently overflow and cause short stuttering. You really don't want that.

 

i found these:




i had a 1060 3Gb before the 2070 S and i think it's better to go for a 1070 because the game run well in most cases with the 3Gb but many cars and rain races can be "harder to handle" for the gpu and with only 3 Gb you can stutter often even if average framerate it's good.

 

Used GTX 1070 here and it can handle ACC quite well at 1080p. I'd not go much lower with the GPU

 

My wife's cockpit ran on a used 1070 for a while and was great basically maxed on 1080p as well. There is even a little headroom for 1440p.
4K required a 1080ti or better tho which is why we both have one now... sold her 1070.

Wow, now that's a new one,... the family that races together, stays together.

 

The biggest improvement especially in ACC was the i9 of course. My previous i5-4670k and i7-4790k were unable to run ACC stutter free in all circumstances. Even overclocked to 4/4.4 GHz. At least the earlier versions of the game.
But it cost a lot of money to change the Mainboard, CPU, RAM and cooler

Agree

 

I also can't get rid of occasional stutters in ACC with my i7-4790k. I delid my CPU to get a stable overclock at 4.7 GHz with just 1.26 Volts and temperatures maxing out at 60°C on air, Cache runs at 4.4 GHz and memory at 2400 MHz.
I get mostly over 100 FPS and my 2070 Super stays under 80% load most of the time at 1440p. Most of the graphic settings are on high with mirrors off.

I hope the April update will help a bit reducing the stutters I'm experiencing, and I can wait a little longer with upgrading my PC at least until Cyber Punk 2077 gets released.
Also I would be unimaginably upset after upgrading and still having issues of that type.

 

I did the same some time ago:

Yes it was an improvement but it didn't fixed the mentioned occasional stutters completely.

 

Have you looked at frametimes rather than framerates? Interesting video here that may help (ignore the gsync/freesync references):

 

Definitely try to get a 1070. I run mine at 1440p high details. Rain and night drops me under 60fps with big grids though.

 

Dunno where you are in the world but look at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/index.php and enter "B Grade" Nvidia graphic cards into it's search function, you can find some bargains there.

The card in my sig cost £250
