My wife got this for me, I am both a nvidia and amd gpu owner. The big reason for getting this gpu is the nvidia GTX Titan X lacked backbone workstation features. When I asked nvidia why I should buy their new Titan X and listed cons of why they are charging more for less, with my previous generation Titan outperforming the Titan X in applications like Maya and the competitors option at a $629 dollar price point was out performing both my Titan and the Titan X in Maya. Their response to my question was to remove my question. So I took my business elsewhere. Card runs games great, I can use Maya fully without any crashing or performance issues.

The card runs cool and silent, if you pick one up get the Acer 27" 1440p Freesync display you will not regret it, wish this tech existed a long time ago.



My only complaint is display corruption with AMD's downclocking that can be avoided with Clockblocker and RadeonPro. Hopefully AMD can get that under control with drivers at some point, But its not enough to remove a star. This card as both an artist and a gamer I get to have my cake and eat it too.



I will also like to add XFX support has been amazing and quick, you can contact them on a support ticket or if you need a faster response hit them up on facebook. They are the EVGA of the AMD side, someone I know knows someone at AMD that deals with all the gpu vendors, and they said XFX was the EVGA of AMD. So if you are in the US want to go AMD but want a vendor that has the quality of EVGA just go with XFX.



Update 4/29/2016

Drivers have ironed out the downclocking and display corruption issues. Performance in games keeps getting better and better with each driver release. At this point there is not a single bad thing I can say about this product. Performs in Maya great, we can disable downclocking, it will pretty much destroy any game at 1440p and does destroy any game at 1080p. If you have been on the fence now is a good time to jump in. This is one product I would buy again.
