Joking aside, I didn't mean to sound like I was against choosing to spend the budget of a home made NAS on a single video card. Was just expressing my thoughts on it. I'm sure it's totally worth it for those inclined on building a mean machine with that much GPU power and for those that can fully utilize it.
No doubt it's a high price, but like you said, if it's worth it to someone then that's all that matters.
9TB NAS means little to me when I have 5TB drive in my server, 2x 2TB drives in my PC, and then 3x 2TB drives sitting in storage. Whereas my PC is using a GTX 770 and the performance boost to a 1080 will be large and will last for years. Also, I would sell my GTX 770 so there is some money back to go towards the 1080 (anyone want to buy one?
). I'm still going to wait and not get it on release, but i do want it this year.
