The DGX-2 server (16x V100) costs the same as about 26 DeepLearning11 servers (10x 1080Ti) - https://www.servethehome.com/deeplearning11-10x-nvidia-gtx-1080-ti

The DGX-2 server (16x V100) costs the same as about 26 DeepLearning11 servers (10x 1080Ti) - https://www.servethehome.com/deeplearning11-10x-nvidia-gtx-1080-ti-single-root-deep-learning-server-part-1/ https://www.servethehome.com/deeplearning11-10x-nvidia-gtx-1... With 260 1080Ti GPUs, you can do neural architecture search that competes with some published work by Google. The DL11 also pays for itself in about 90 days compared to renting a P100/V100 on AWS: http://www.logicalclocks.com/price-calculator/ http://www.logicalclocks.com/price-calculator/

You are again missing the benefits of the switch. That factors into the cost at some point. You will not get the same scaling as adding an equivalent number of gpus and separate systems that you will get with the same number and a switch in between.
