In some cases the drops are utterly brutal against the GTX1060.

Nvidia have better drivers and better features. More stable in my experience with the likes of Wattman and AMD update headaches. If you have a less than stellar CPU Nvidia are also particularly better, they have less CPU overhead which can make a big difference in slower systems.
Even if RX 480 was slightly cheaper than this and slightly faster I would pick Nvidia for the above reasons. AMD would have to make a much better card to make me prefer them.

Very good price for the 6GB model - good find (and don't forget 3.5% cashback from TCB).

But will it play Minecraft on maxed out settings?

Still think the RX 480 8GB is the better deal.

Yes and no. Depends what you want. The reference design rx480 are appalling. A decent custom design at this price would indeed be a better buy across the board.

If you want proof of AMD's well known and still existing DX11 driver overhead for lower end CPU performance then:
