It's a lot better on average

It's better at 1080p but I'd look into the Rx 5700xt the 5700xt is a lot stronger and prices are fair enough now.

I'm using the gtx 1060 with 3 gig and its such a good card that when I want to upgrade it I'll stick with it just get the one with 6 gig

That doesn't make any sense. The 3GB is a merely cut down version of the 6G, you're only getting around 10% performance and 3 extra GB of VRAM in a card, barely an upgrade.

If that upgrade happens to cost you more than the difference between the MSRP of a 1060 3 and 6GB (i.e. if the difference is 30, you pay 30 for the upgrade) then you're just wasting your money.

provided its atually a good deal then yes, its a decent upgrade. It will make more of a difference if you are already hitting VRAM buffer too, but even just on core speed it will be a nice boost.

i'd like to know what this "great deal" is
