Pascal offers DX12 improvements over Maxwell though I think. So even though Nvidia is claiming 980 performance for 1060, it may actually top 980 in DX12 games. We'll just have to wait for the reviews. If RX 480 does win in DX12 games though, I think it will be the smarter buy in the long run, since more and more games are using DX12 nowadays (Tomb Raider, Hitman, Ashes of Singularity, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Battlefield 1, pretty much all of the Xbox Play Anywhere games, etc.).

Indeed and the larger memory size will help aswell. 3GB on the 1060 vs 8GB on the RX 480 is a massive difference. But who knows, perhaps the 1060 will turn out to be a overclocking monster.

The 1060 is 6gb. I know there is this rumour that it will have 3gb/6gb varients but Nvidia announced only 6gb one.
