Things can change quickly. When Ethereum goes to proof-of-stake the market will be flooded with cheap 1080Tis. A moderately well-funded lab should (by the end of 2018) be able to buy 100 1080Tis in DeepLearning11 servers for 100K Euro and do cool work in distributed learning and model architecture search.
SoTA in Cifar-10 and ImageNet is now model-architecture search. This paper/blog was an eye-opener for me:

- tasuki 9y agoWhat's the ETA on that? I'd love me some cheap 1080Ti!
- jamesblonde 9y agoPrices are already down. Keep an eye out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/ https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/ Current estimates are that 75% of ethereum mining is done on 1080Tis. So, if that stops overnight - will they sell them or switch to some other bitcoin? My guess is that they will flood the market. Mostly they are under-volted when mining, so they won't burn out within a few weeks if you buy used.
