Reason I ask is that I looked at the comparisons and the 1080 seemed comparable but the 1080 has just a little better performance.
BTW - I always like to buy my Video Cards on Amazon with Prime Shipping. If there is a problem with compatibility, it's an easy return. New Egg charges restocking fees and you have to pay freight back.
This one is $500.00

If you paid around $450.00 then you did good. At same price I'd go with the Nvidia over the AMD.
I Have a MSI Gtx 1080 Duke and am very happy with it. MSI has a 3 year from date of manufacture warranty too.
I do wish you the best of luck with the AMD. Just my experience with Linux is that you never want to buy the newest technology, it takes awhile for the right drivers to filter down to Linux.
