Did your game crash or you're just worrying ahead of time? hehehe, if you ever run out of VRAM with the 1060 3gb which actually is rare and I think ROTR is like one of the only games you can force this crash on just lower 1 level of the texture settings and done, problem solved.

Whether or not this issue happens a lot or not depends on the games you will be playing and the settings that you want to use.

However, iIf it fits your budget, I would go for the 1060 6 GB instead of the 3 GB version. This former card can be seen as kind of a “1060 Ti” having not only more VRAM but also more power (CUDA cores 1280 vs. 1152) compared to the 3 GB version. The performance boost is often worth the small price difference.

But, I thought it was possible to run out of VRAM on the 3GB 1060?

(I have one, although the screenshots below were taken while it was uninstalled, just with the Intel HD 4600.)

If I run the in-game benchmark with those settings, I get (when it doesn't crash trying to load):

  • 1.8 fps on Intel HD 4600 (i7-4790K, 32GB DDR3-1600)
  • 0.3 fps on GTX 1060 3GB (same CPU+RAM)
  • ~6 fps on GTX 970M 6GB (i7-6700K, 40GB DDR4-2133)

I haven't found a way to get RotTR to use that much VRAM.

You already have your graphics card?!?!

I haven't realised that from your original post. :)

ye i already have it and i want to play on the highest textures on 1080p 

will having alot of ram fix this since it will have another sort of memory to store textures?

ik i can just get a better gpu instead of buying ram but i willl get an extra 8gb any ways and i already got 12 which is fine

The 6 GB version will definitely let you crank up the settings more than the 3 GB... no question about it.
