Regarding MSI Trident 3

[jesper_ronja]

Just a quick question. I want to purchase the MSI Trident. I've looked deep into it and found out that the US versions comes with GeForce GTX 1060 6GB while the EU versions only comes with GeForce GTX 1060 3GB. Why is that and how much difference does it make?

Most likely no one here will be able to answer that. MSI would know though. See : >>How to contact MSI.<<

NVDIA graphic card is diferent.
NVDIA 1060 is just graphic chip.
GTX 1060 6G: NVDIA 1060 graphic chip and memory is 6GB
GTX 1060 3G: NVDIA 1060 graphic chip and memory is 3GB
This memory is on graphic card and just for graphic chip. (Not system memory).

MSI has over 20 model(graphic card ) and it is used GTX 1060 graphic chip.

Beware of buying the trident. Apparently MSI released maybe a few batches of factory defective trident units that will not turn on anymore after a few weeks of usage, mine died after a month of use and now they are trying to charge me 227$ for repair an under warranty unit because it's not covered by global/international warranty. You need to check with MSI the serial number of the unit the dealer is going to sell you to see if it's one of the potentially defective units.

It depends on your monitor resolution. 3GB version is fine for any 1080p and almost every 1440p games., while the 6GB version leaves a bit of headroom for 4k. It depends on the consumer's tendency to purchase a product (which involes a LOT in marketing and economical studies), so they just decide that they will sell better having the 6GB version on the US market, and the 3GB version on EU's.
