My current build contains an Asus Radeon RX 480 8GB ROG STRIX Video Card. I've seen some videos on the gtx 1060 and I am wondering if there is any version of that card that would outperform my current graphics card, or if I should just stick with what I have. Thank you to anyone who responds.

As others said, stick with the 480. The averaged difference in DX11 is about 2% in favor of the 1060, but in DX12 and Vulcan, the averaged difference is 6% in the 480's favor. So ultimately, there isn't enough performance difference to replace one with the other, but the 480 should age better as it favors Dx12 and Vulcan, which is where games are headed more and more.
