Solved by tom_w141,
OP in recent Adored and HW unboxed videos it has been shown that (at least in tomb raider) that Ryzen works better with the RX480 in DX12 titles by a significant margin. This is likely a driver issue though and may only be relevant to that game. Now attention has been drawn to it NVidia might patch their driver but also bear in mind a lot of titles still use DX11 where team green remains king.
Conclusion:
Either play it safe and get the 1060 6GB or wait and see if any more testing is done on the RX480 with Ryzen.
Finally you could drop to the 1600 and overclock it to be the X model very easily as is done with 1700s easily achieving 1800X performance. This would save you money that would help buy a better 480/1060.
