As DannyBee said in a sibling comment:
> It's one thing if one of them is like that, but if all of them are like that, maybe it's not because of the cloud providers?
- make3 9y agoWhat is your point?
- boulos 9y agoThere may be non-technical reasons beyond "Those guys are just stupid" that we don't offer GTX 1080s.
- dave_sullivan 9y agoWhy don't you offer GTX 1080s? I'm suggesting Nvidia is offering great deals on teslas to cloud providers but not offering those same discounts on 1080s; they're doing that because it lends support to their pitch to enterprises that they need Teslas instead of their competitively priced consumer line; if everyone was paying list price, cloud providers would be offering 1080s. Even with all that, cloud GPU is not cost effective and end users are better off buying their own "consumer grade" stuff.
