A GTX 1060 performs almost like a GTX 980, so you'll see some improvement. But don't get the 3GB version, go for the models with 6GB.

Only the 3gb is available, the 6gb is £100 more is it still a good swap? The FPS videos showing the 1060 3gb always higher FPS even on highest settings

The 3GB model will still be faster than a 970 but you may be limiting yourself to play at slightly lower settings than you could, and that's because you'll be replacing a 4GB (or 3.5+0.5GB) card for one with 3GB.

Here's the VRAM usage of several games:
