So I was able to dig up a chart with shadow of war on ultra 1080p settings and the GTX 1060 3GB can clearly play it (it was mentioned prior the card would not run on ultra settings). I have not played this game so I have no personal experience with it.
Based off the chart the GTX 1060 3GB offers a playable experience (46fps avg, 31min) but clearly not as ideal as the 6GB version. Surprisingly it also outperforms many 4GB cards including the Nvidia GTX 970 "quasi" 4GB & R9 390 w/ 8GB.
The ultra tier foes are another level of difficulty entirely. You'll want 4GB VRAM to stand a chance, and anything less than a 1060 3GB will result in occasional trips and missteps. Those can be fatal, and only epic level weaponry like the GTX 1070 and RX Vega 56 will push you past the 60 fps mark. And if you're looking at a 144Hz Palantír (aka display), you might need to drop down to high quality to maximize the accuracy of the visions it sends.
One other thing of note about this game; the game takes up 100GB with 30GB going to the high definition pack!
We have also found that, when played on a traditional mechanical hard drive, the game takes ten minutes or so to ‘warm up’, with average frame rates being close to 20fps to begin with. This problem did not occur with SSD drives. This is likely down to the drive struggling with texture streaming - those HD files are massive, afterall...The game is huge, though: you will need 100GB of free space to install it, thanks to a 70GB base game install and a 30GB high-definition pack. If you are not intending to play on ultra, uncheck the HD packs from your install as they are simply a waste of space. If you do intend to play on ultra, be sure to play on an SSD - the stuttering and slowdown from traditional drives when streaming in those massive textures ruin the game’s flow.
