I've tried talking with Nvidia's tech line about the Titan vs 1080 Ti comparison, but they're apparently outsourced now, and they read lines from spec sheets without lending much insight. I'm told that for scientific/neural net applications, I should go with Titan, but they can't tell me why.
From this benchmark, it appears that the 1080 Ti is a bit faster than the Titan X, at about half the price:

The new Titan V (Volta platform) has a bit of a speed advantage, but I think it will be going for close to $3000.

At that price, I could conceivably buy several 1080 Ti boards.
Does anyone know of better sources for info on this? Again, the main app is scientific (neural nets) but I believe that it benefits from the same hardware advances as gaming machines. (Many thanks to gamers from the scientific community!
