not sure why anyone would spend double money when you can get about the same performance using a gtx 1080 TI. The performance looks marginal IMO -- optimizing the code on gtx 1080 TI (cuda and/or shader assembly) would probably yield very satisfactory results and definitely better perf/buck.

"double precision performance" and "industrial-grade drivers" are two reasons. I think it depends on what exactly you are doing.
