Hey everyone,

I apologize because I know that a question along these lines has probably been asked a ton of times but I didn't pay attention and now it is my turn. I am looking to get a gtx 1080 and I was wondering which sub $600usd 1080 you would recommend. I don't care what it looks like and I don't need anything in terms of RGB or anything nifty like that. I don't care if it does happen to have it but I don't have any preference for the way it looks. I also don't have any space restrictions in my case so that will not be a factor. Thanks for your help!

Zotac 1080 AMP! Extreme is the best 1080 out there according to benchmarks.

Do you prefer the evga over the strix? Also why were you wanting the FE?

I prefer asus products if they are there. If not then evga. They're all the same to me really. I wanted fe as I'm gonna put a block on it anyway and they look better. Also my case doesn't have an issue with airflow.
