— It just works.

— I was so excited to socket my Anniversary edition into my pc, that I forgot to uninstall all AMD drivers, spent all night triggering bluescreens while attempting to uninstall these drivers. Not gonna blame AMD for my own mistake of leaving old chipset drivers from my R7 1800X on my pc. Can't wait to benchmark it. 4ghz all core turbo on 33°C idle in Taskmanager is already looking rock solid, and that's while I was fixing this mess.

— The cheapest 8GB VRAM you will ever get, which makes this card particularly useful for content creators. As for games, it is legit equal to the GTX 1060 6GB version. Except that it's cheaper and also has more VRAM. Buying this over the GTX 1060 is really a no-brainer.
