this is apparently going to go instock stock today

2016-08-12 09:24:14 UTC  

I dont know 4gb is good though

2016-08-12 09:24:20 UTC  

Do you have a 2K monitor?

2016-08-12 09:24:27 UTC  

nope

2016-08-12 09:24:27 UTC  

Or er, 4K?

2016-08-12 09:24:30 UTC  

a 1080p

2016-08-12 09:25:04 UTC  

Unless you're planning to get one soon, you won't see the need to go beyond 3GB VRAM anytime soon

2016-08-12 09:26:15 UTC  

yeah

2016-08-12 09:26:18 UTC  

Im not so sure

2016-08-12 09:26:30 UTC  

arent like more than 4gb vram needed nowadays?

2016-08-12 09:26:32 UTC  

or something

2016-08-12 09:26:36 UTC  

It is definitely

2016-08-12 09:26:43 UTC  

Cause most people cross into 2K/4K nowaday

2016-08-12 09:26:58 UTC  

im only into 1080p 60 fps gaming

2016-08-12 09:27:44 UTC  

I have a 2K monitor and I usually cap the 4GB on my 970

2016-08-12 09:27:50 UTC  

Having to go down to high settings

2016-08-12 09:28:10 UTC  

i see

2016-08-12 09:28:18 UTC  

Luckily, running higher res means you don't need as much anti aliasing

2016-08-12 09:28:28 UTC  

And you can skimp on shadow quality

2016-08-12 09:29:32 UTC  

hmm

2016-08-12 09:29:38 UTC  

now it's either a 4gb 480

2016-08-12 09:29:42 UTC  

or a gtx 1060

2016-08-12 09:29:45 UTC  

Yup

2016-08-12 09:29:45 UTC  

like I've chosen before

2016-08-12 09:29:52 UTC  

It's probably not worth going for the 8GB 480

2016-08-12 09:29:53 UTC  

it's a 40 difference

2016-08-12 09:30:31 UTC  

Are you sure you wanna run with the mini 1060, though?

2016-08-12 09:30:38 UTC  

yeah

2016-08-12 09:30:48 UTC  

I read reviews the EVGA is the best of the 1060s

2016-08-12 09:30:57 UTC  

those have virtually no overclocking potential, I heard

2016-08-12 09:30:58 UTC  

runs cooler and quieter than even the dual fan ones

2016-08-12 09:31:12 UTC  

I dont plan to OC anyways

2016-08-12 09:31:12 UTC  

Cause they're already pre-clocked as it is

2016-08-12 09:31:20 UTC  

And the overhead isn't enough for further OC:ing

2016-08-12 09:31:22 UTC  

I see

2016-08-12 09:31:24 UTC  

Then that's fine

2016-08-12 09:32:03 UTC  

hmm

2016-08-12 09:32:11 UTC  

well at least you've provided some perspective

2016-08-12 09:32:18 UTC  

but I guess I'll just go for the 1060 as planned

2016-08-12 09:32:39 UTC  

I originally wanted a RX 480 but supply and the price hikes

2016-08-12 09:32:42 UTC  

has stopped me
