There are a lot cheaper GPU cards, but if we need to have GPU card, we get a quadro K6000 or M6000 which rate at 5K. And yes you can buy lower cards for octane, but they are useless for other software like some compositing software or 3D render engines. (joy)
Which leads to the fact that there are 2 groups of GPU cards (or 3 because of the Titans and/or Intel Phi) and is giving me a hard time to manage our workstations. And for some Linux installations I need to trash the Cuda software layer and replace it with another. (because its not stable enough)
My guess is that the hardware guys are making a mess out of it. Types of GPU, type of software drivers, application software to run on it...
Why I am fan of CPU. GPU is good for decoding video...
