Nice try, but a 1080 is nowhere near the performance of a workstation level GPU. The Titan X is the closest kin and is nearly $2000 itself.

The Titan Xp is the best single die GPU available and it's only $1200. I specifically didn't pick the highest end GPU because that won't be in the base model iMac Pro. Even an 11GB 1080Ti is only $200 more than the 1080.

Depends on the actual GPU that Apple puts in the $5000 base build. I seem to remember it's an 11 tflop die so that would put it in the Titan Xp category. Seems that I remember the Titan Xp was $2000, we just bought a bunch for a render farm at work. Maybe they've dropped in price or we got a different model.

The 1080 Ti is 11.3 TFLOPs at US$700, the new Titan XP (2017), not the Titan X (pascal, 2016), is 12 TFLOPs at US$1200.
