    @Fish_miner 3Gb will come to a limit at some point in time but nobody knows when. I bought 3G GPUs because they are indeed much cheaper and performance is similar. I know I won't be able to mine some currencies in the next 12 months but I'll mine others instead.

    Was doing litle bit searching @ guugle .
    3Gb is less perfomance and probabaly for top altcoins better is 6gb .
    But summary is that you need to know what altcoin you will mine, and compare the difference between perfomance. And i think 6gb rigs (or separate gpu ) will be easier to sold .

    Yes 6Gb delivers more but not enough to justify the price difference. You can find good 3G cards around 200$.
