    there are limited benchmarks between the two cards with premiere, some show them performing about equal, some show nvidia doing a fair bit better. there are some programs/plugins out there that still only work with cuda/nvidia, but that list is getting very small these days. the gtx 1060 3gb wouldn't be a good choice with only 3gb of ram. the rx 480 4gb is acceptable for editing 4k and is cheaper than the gtx 1060 6gb, while the 8gb version of the rx 480 does add some possible future-proofing mostly for games. there were some problems with the rx 480 reference card not following pcie power specs. amd has addressed it with drivers but asus cards like the asus dual or strix are actually redesigned on a hardware level to stay in spec.

    there was at least one amd cpu bug a while ago, that adobe chose to ignore for over a year. it was during the time they were putting speedgrade/lumetri into premiere, so alot of bug fixes were put on hold and customers left out to hang for over 6 months while adobe focused on adding features. for performance, it would be ok for HD/1080p material. it performs somewhere around an intel i5, so even for HD timelines there is much better performance available from intel options.

    Generally using OpenCL on the AMD GPU is not as effective a using the CUDA coding of the nVidia products.  I love my two GTX 1060's
