1060 3gb or 6gb

I largely want a graphics card for premiere GPU acceleration (I do play games, but not my main priority). I mainly will do 1080p editing at the moment, but I am not putting it out of the question that this card will edit 4k footage in the future. My question is - is the extra VRAM in the 6gb model worth it for premiere pro? Or will the 3gb model do fine?

Get the 6GB as it has more CUDA cores as well...

Go for the 6gig, its more future proof and more VRAM is important on nvidia cards.

6 gb no matter what especially for premiere but if you are looking for pure editing work, don't get a 1060, go for a 480 or a 1070

Try using the PSU Tier List!

He wants CUDA acceleration... The RX 480 doesn't support CUDA and a 1070 is kind of overkill for his usage

Having more vram allows the gpu processor to work on larger chunks of data at one time without having to call for more data from system ram or the hard disk.  So for video editing maybe not so much but for games with large texture files go with the one with more vram.

Laws only govern the honest.

But Premiere Pro takes advantage of OpenCL as well so he might as well go for the RX 480.

Idk.... Are there any benchmarks with the GTX 1060 vs RX 480 in productivity applications? Because that would be very interesting!

I recall Linus tested a bunch of Nvidia and AMD cards for video rendering some time ago. They are very close.

Go with the 6gb version as the 3gb version is a cut down version of the 6gb version so even if you don't need the 6gb of vram the 6gb version will have a higher performance.

That is my problem - almost all benchmarks out there are gaming related. I haven't found benchmarks comparing the cards in video editing scenarios, and I am going Nvidia for CUDA acceleration, which based on my research, blows AMD out of the water

But it was with Maxwell and (I think) Fiji.

It would be interesting to see a Pascal vs Polaris(or Vega) comparison...

It's more or less the same with Pascal vs Polaris. RX 480 has a beefier GPU chip which can be fully used in some editing/rendering programs when compared to the 1060 so I'd personally go with that.

Well, it doesn't quite blow AMD out of the water, but CUDA is more widely used and would be a better choice if you are doing productivity stuff...
