Based on what I know and with what the previous person said, a dual-1080 setup should be able to provide that hefty performance required for the compute workload, as it appears. The blower configuration should also add to ridding of excess heat, and there will be water-blocks for the card, so that may be something to consider. The card is probably a more gaming-oriented card than a computing-oriented card like the Tesla P100, but I don't know if that is a consideration for the project at hand.
