Hi,
for quite a while i misjudged Epixoip's less enthusiastic opinion regarding AMDs line of fine Hawaiian graphics cards as ramblings of a old cracking veteran knowing everything best. But as time went by (and AMDs driver quality continued to surprise me more and more "unique" quirks) I yearned for a better perf/watt ratio and so got myself 4 GTX1080 FE. And I have to say what fine pieces of hardware they are. Base OS, small x setup, some fan control and off they go. Performance, heat, driver setup (yay kernel upgrade with dkms without having to spend a day fixing fglrx), I am just delighted.
TL;DR Epixoip was right, don't buy AMD
