The GTX 1060 hardly outperforms the RX 570 and the extra gig of framebuffer over the GTX 1060 3GB can make a difference.

Like you alluded prior, the frame-buffer size is less important at 1080P. - At 1440P is when I would opt for the RX 570.

The Geforce 1060 3GB should also use less power. SO there is that caveat as well. - AMD's entire GPU lineup is pretty terrible across the entire spectrum when you start accounting for that.

nVidia is simply superior outside of Asynchronous Compute, that's a fact.

Outside of most compute tasks in general. There's one thing Vega is good for :) (Vega is also quite good for gaming, but they certainly lost some efficiency compared to Polaris). Interesting will be to see when Navi comes out, seeing how Nvidia threw efficiency out of the window with Turing, AMD might have a shot at perf/W.
