In terms of architecture and features the 1080ti and Titan Xp are the same, the only difference is the Titan Xp is slightly faster and has 1GB extra VRAM.

If your workload can be efficiently split between multiple cards then a $1400 pair of 1080tis will vastly outperform a $1200 Titan Xp - 16% more money for nearly double the throughput.

Great! That's what I wanted to know! Many thanks!

I was more curious if Titans had some lower precision data type or better dataset packing than vanilla Pascals, or something similar that would help with ML.

Another poster said that the drivers will prevent you running more than two 1080Ti's properly in the same machine (if I interpret it correctly).

In case you are just checking on your comment thread, do check the other threads as there's interesting performance comparisons being discussed.
