I got an Asus GTX 1080 but unfortunately it was defective upon receiving it and the PC would not work while the card was installed.
I returned it, and I've discovered that the card is out of stock on all websites and won't be back for about three weeks.
So, I've been looking at other models.
Other cards that seem similar are the Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming and the Zotac AMP Extreme.
Which of those is better (Unless you think there's a better card out there)?
Thanks

"better" is not really something that applies to the pascal cards. all of them will give you roughly the same fps. they each have their high and low points but overall, they are all cool, quiet and very strong cards.

from a looks standpoint i like the gigabyte extreme over the amp extreme but that is purely looks. honestly from having read literally 100+ reviews of these cards, the best deal is the one that looks good to you and is priced right. not a single card performed any better out of the box, nor oc'ed than any of the other cards. no matter what the price!! only the FE cards were noticeably worse, but any custom card reviewed well.

see here for a list of all the specs for the models and reviews linked where available http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902598
