Amazon only offers very costly Tesla and Quadro cards on their GPGPUs. Super expensive. For scale, if you do not need the extra memory on the Tesla cards, what you want is commodity NVIDIA GeForce cards that are a fraction of the cost.

Standard cards are handicapped for double precision operations though (1/8 speed afaik).

You don't need double precision for typical DL tasks, such as training a convnet.

Double precision is overrated :) (at least for ML)
