Both are strong options for 1080p, hard to recommend one over the other.

I would go for an rx 480 since they both perform similarly in dx 11 with the rx 480 being the clear winner in dx 12 or vulcan while being cheaper and having xfire support

DX12 no longer that much better with the 15% performance upgrade Nvidia cards got for DX12 performance in the latest patch.

I know about that but the main Q, did it rly improved, anyone made any test ?

if i wanted to get 1070 would zotac mini be a good choice ?

I don't advise people to spend money based on what MIGHT happen. Instead, my advice is to buy what satisfies your needs now at the lowest price. The 1060/480 and the 1070 are on completely different price and performance levels, that you seem to be looking at a 1070 for a 1080p 60hz monitor tells me you have no idea what you need. Sort that out first, before you spend your money.

I do not want to spend money every year for new GPU.. i was talking about 1070 bcz i was planning on upgrading my monitor to 1440p

i know 1070 is overkill for 1080p ... but if you look at game development. they are becoming more aggressive. today you can play all the game with a rx480 at >60fps in very hight G setting.

but after few months or a year do you think the gpu will perform same with new games ?
