Hi
Plan on building a power user Houdini machine to replace my 4 yr old iMac. My understanding is that GPU based renderer's like Octane, Redshift work very well with dual GPU's, so after a bit of research my first choice is to go with dual NVIDIA 1070's.
Can anyone familiar with GPU's suggest a reason that the extra $ for 1080's or higher warrants the extra cost?
My budget will be around $2500 US for everything and it has to last me for the next 5 years.
Here is a starting point I am using (ugly case recommendation but otherwise...)
