Unless you need features specific to the high end cards such as unlocked 64bit or 16bit performance or antialiased lines, the consumer cards have much higher performancep dollar$ [1]. It would be really interesting if they compared their 8 K80s ~(8 * ($4K for 8TFLOPS)) against a set of GTX 1080s ~($650 for 8TFLOPS)<p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC_sx6A5Wko" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC_sx6A5Wko</a> & <a href="http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Tesla+C2050" rel="nofollow">http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Tesla+C2050</a>
