Seems like a good price for this card which is normally relatively hard to find.

I heated it, think it's a fair price for this, certainly cheapest I have seen recently. I managed to get one for £160 last year due to a stock mix up (supplier advertised the 6GB but sent the 3GB) and think it's a superb card, obviously for what I paid, but I don't think I'd be unhappy with it at £190 either. Think sometimes people blow the whole RAM issue out of proportion as it manages surprisingly well. I even run less intensive games like Trackmania and the like at 4K max details and 60FPS so the 3GB isn't the end of the world. Yes more ambitious games would need more modest settings but sticking to 1080P should see this card cope for the next couple of years at least and at this price, you really shouldn't be expecting all that much more....

3GB lol. 4 is a minimum for games now, let alone for the ones out at the end of 2017 and beyond. 1050 even has 4gb

I would not recommend a 3GB 1060 to anyone who plays newer games as they are becoming more RAM hungry, Rust on High uses about 4GB+.

Decent price if you mainly play e-sports titles and aren't overly concerned with ultra settings with 1080p on the higher end AAA games.
Hard to recommend though over a 480.

Seems like a good price compared to normal price, heat.
If you can afford a better card, then so be it, but that doesn't relate to the deal price on this particular model.

It's around the right price, there's 4/5 1060 for 180-190 on Amazon.
But with a 480 8GB at £199.99 it's worth spending the extra £10.
The 4GB 480 are still too expensive and the 470 is not really a sweet spot price wise either.
If I were buying I'd go with the 8GB 480 unless I had a G-Sync monitor.

As per above, the 1060's are available at this price or slightly less from a few places. I know this is an EVGA FTW, but paying significantly more for a mid range card make little sense.
Also RX480 8GB, makes this deal seem even worse value, sorry. :disappointed:
