"I do like the RTX 2080Ti but I just love the Titan V! The Titan V is a great card and even though it seems expensive from a "consumer" point of view. I consider it an incredible bargain." .. quite hard to read as a phd student..

As a student, you get more free offers to use university ressources or something else than someone who just 'works'.

Compared to other equipment in research environments it's incredibly cheap.

Usually you dont buy such equipment by yourself anyway.

Considering the V100 runs around $10-11k and the Titan V provides similar performance for around $3k, the author isn't wrong.

32GB vs 12GB. Enables a lot more. If you don't care about memory and FP64, 2080Ti would be a much better deal than Titan V. V100 vs Quadro RTX 8000 would be more interesting.

Still, I think 2x1080Ti is a better deal than 1x2080Ti and costs the same.

Frankly it probably is, if only because you can do batch processing while still doing more experimental work on the other card.
