This is very true. I've tried both cards with a 144hz 1080p the GTX 1060 (MSI gaming X) provided much smoother gaming experience. Very consistent frames throughout min, avg, and high. I noticed with the RX 480 especially on BF4 and overwatch, the frames were very sporadic and inconsistent especially the min frames and those with a 144hz knows that provides a not a smooth experience especially with min frames dropping so low at points of the game. Most notable during intense action the frames are just not very consistent to my liking. Of course with 60hz monitors things like higher consistent frames don't really matter.
