I got this impression from the DXO lab test: http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/en/Lens...%29/Tamron
I did not find a direct comparison between the two 70-300 lenses. Lenstip tested both lenses and says that "The comparison to the Nikon 70-300 mm VR is a bit unfavourable for the Tamron", but the two tests were with different cameras: one with D200 and the other with D3x.

the dxomark tests appear to be quite nonsensical, as they give the strangest outcomes all over the lens spectrum. Not sure of the WHY, but I would suggest to not put much weight into their "results".
Photozone.de, lenstip.com, fredmiranda.com are sources I value. Some like slrgear.com too, and dpreview also can be considered as one of the sources to get an idea of how a lens performs.
