Thanks, this is very useful! I was looking at the 1080 and the pricing
is fairly acceptable.
Will keep in mind about CR version. Actually, we wouldn't be buying
anything except for the GPUs. It seems like a colleague of ours is
unhappy with the performance of his Xeon-based workstation and we might
commandeer it to ease his pain.

Hi,
I think the 1070s and 1080s are the best value for money. These days, given
that it's I think it costs ~20% more, the 1080 is probably a bit better
value for money, but it's going to be a bit above $500, I think.
Also note that we're working on new GPU acceleration-related features that
will change the CPU-GPU balance in many use-cases, so if you are planning
to buy hardware, you might want to give the new code (in still CR) a try.
Cheers,

Hi all,
A quick question, likely for Szilárd...
Now that we got the taste of very decent GPU acceleration with Titan XP
cards, I might be getting a brand new workstation with a 22-core Xeon
without any GPUs. We plan to install two GPUs in there and Titan XPs would
be too expensive for us in this case.
Any suggestions on what to invest in for the sub-$500 range per card?
Thank you,
Alex
