+1, Even with previous releases of 3GB versions of GTX 1060, I considered it as bad move for customer. They save few $, but soonish they'll realize need to reduce texture/shadow quality.
In 2017, longevity of cards with 3GB vRAM is not going to be high. And it is sad to see card which actually has some power limited by manufacturer saving $8 on memory chips in total.
I'm kind of glad it's not, 3gb of memory on what is basically an SLI setup? Noooo lol

The article has the name of the product released, anything else would be pointless and false representation. The product name was of ASUS' invention, not Guru3D.

Well honestly for 1080p, that is OK, however yes the more the better. 4GB should be the sweet spot for such resolution.
Funny thing on my 1080, in 1440p Rise of the Tomb Raider, everything pumped to max (AA was on FXAA) I have had 7,9gb Vram usage. Ouch! So apparently V-ram wise, this card barely can hold 1440p resolution.
I guess it's because the driver just allocates the memory available, no big deal. I game at 1440p, no issues so far, and my cards have got 4GB VRAM (not playing Tomb Raider though, but BF1 for instance runs without issues, Total War: Warhammer, even Shadow of Mordor with HD textures that were said to need 6GB VRAM).
