Geforce gtx 1060 3gb takes on the gtx 970 in current games

We have a new and interesting comparison of graphics cards in which the great protagonist is again the GeForce GTX 1060 with 3 GB of video memory. This time it has been compared to the GeForce GTX 970 which has 4 GB of memory.

GeForce GTX 970 holds up against the 3GB GeForce GTX 1060

Again, it has been NJ Tech who has put the two graphics cards face to face to see which is a more interesting option in terms of performance. Tests show that both cards offer a very similar performance under overclock, because in some tests one will win and in others the other will win, although the difference is quite small.

This means that the GeForce GTX 970 has aged very well and is still an excellent purchase option today, it is true that the 3GB GeForce GTX 1060 is more energy efficient, but the advantage of the GTX 970 is that we can find it in the second-hand market it is considerably cheaper so it more than makes up for the difference in energy consumption, which is not a big deal.

An additional advantage of the GeForce GTX 970 is that its amount of video memory is higher, since the card offers 4 GB vs 3 GB of the GeForce GTX 1060. Something that in its day was widely criticized is that the 4 GB are divided into 3.5 GB + 0.5 GB, the latter being much slower, although as we can see the performance is excellent.
