PoS will be applied much earlier than 6GB DAG issue. Vram > 4GB has nothing to worry.
Sev18 stated that Vram > 4GB has nothing to worry. So are you sure 3 GB would be OK for next 4-5 years?

I think buying 3GB 1060 is still profitable compared to many other cards because of the price of 1060 3GB + you can get almost 25MH on Ethash (only Samsung Memory) + 550 Hash/Sec for cryptonight etc.
If I have money I would still buy more 1060 3GB, because there are many and many new coins around in the market which are mineable.
Thanks

I believe when it comes to such long periods of time (3+ years) the quality of the fans on the GPU is more important, than whether it is 8GB or 6GB.
I'm buying today GPUs with 3gb of ram to mine eth till the party is good (1060). Then we will just move on low RAM algos such as equihash.

Hi,
Question: Keeping aside the Ethereum (DAG and upcoming PoS), considering 4-5 years ahead plan, would 8 GB GPU have a significant edge over the 6 GB or 6 GB would be sufficient to work for next 4-5 years for different cryptocurrencies?
