You don't at all hsae to endorse something you don't believe in, but the RX 480 has so many merits that you could use instead of a cherry-picked data point. It's not representative, and it's misleading to people who come here looking for advice.
That fact remains that the 1060 is the faster card for current titles, but I'd agree with you that the 480 is the better buy, especially as the OP is looking for a BF1 card and Gibbo said in anopther post that it'll support Vulkan
If you only upgrade every 3 years or so i wouldnt buy an Nvidia card, they tend to not bother optomising for their older products when something new comes along, i believe rumors are Volta their next gen will be arriving next year?
AMD with GCN on the other hand just get better and better, for instance the 290 is still performing very well, the 480 is roughly the same level of perf
Here is a comparison of the latest AMD drivers in Hitman
FYI the new 16.7.3 drivers are out today, giving to the RX480 10% boost on some games
