The 3GB version actually isn't bad at sub £200 at the moment. If you can get a 6GB card for under £200 as per OP's budget then let us know. :p

I bought a 780 Ti for cheap (£20) not that long ago and found that 3GB is a limit in some games RE7 for example it had the horesepower to run it at times it was close to 100fps 1080p maxed out but when it ran out of Vram it choked to single digits at times... definitely 6gb minimum these days

I know both my suggestions are over £200 but as an example only one 3gb 1060 is under £200 on OCUK & it's a small blower card which will be loud, unbearably so, I wouldn't touch it.

The 1060 3b & 6gb models have more than just a memory size difference, The 3gb model also has less cuda cores so as others have said save up the extra for a 6gb 1060 it's both faster and covered for memory requirements for a few more years (1080p), Or get an 8 gb 580 from AMD, I'd go for the 580 myself as it includes a copy of Far Cry 5 at the moment.
