I still prefer AMD as a mining/BOINC GPU. Much more competitive on the price/performance market. But I agree NVIDIA has some other neat stuff and
it is also broadenly used on research projects, mainly due support from NVIDIA.

Indeed -- if there weren't a shortage of RX 480 GPUs, I would have used 3-4 of those instead of my 1080's. That would have allowed me to allocate that second machine to a different project. I could ultimately end up with AMD GPUs if/when the supply issue gets better but I'm of the belief that this recent boom in mining isn't going to end suddenly like it has in the past. I think the only way supply of those Polaris cards is going to get better is by AMD churning out more cards over time.
