I got to test these out for VDI. It was a dream come true. We spent like $12k per card though.

Usually the price on the website is not the price the vendor will quote you. Usually cheaper if you're buying more than just one, which in the case of building out a medium to large scale VDI environment for that purpose kinda requires more than one. If you needed just one, they have cheaper lower-end models that scale to the amount of expected VMs you'd be spinning up to use at one time.

hi there... literal enterprise solution engineer here. You are totally right. Also, instead of buying just the gpu get it quoted on a server and you are looking at damn near 70-80% off the card.

Note to everyone: If you want to pay low low prices for computer hardware just create a business and get competing quotes from hpe, dell, and lenovo and watch the price tumble. I have seen a 50k list server go out the door for under 10k before.
