An insanely low price relative to it's original price.

An insanely low price relative to it's original price. Peronally, I still find this a very reasonable price (double it would still be decent), but normally they are heavily overpriced. It's hard to compare different devices of course, but in terms of pure FLOPS (and benchmarks) is roughly the same as an AMD r280x, which costs 240$ and allows you to play video-games in between your work. There is definitely a market for these cards I think, niche but it exists, however the normal price of >$2k is the old-fashioned "industry tax" (c.f. Tesla cards) and not a reflection of the actual performance.
