Cheap FP64 performance

My friend asked be me to find him a cheap GPU that has FP64 performance for fluid modelling (I have no idea, I didn't ask, I assume fluid dynamics or something) since he knows I know hardware pretty ok. I was just gonna track down a GTX Titan Black from the Kepler family since that has 1/3 FP64 power, so about 1.7 TFlops, but I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows of anything more powerful for the same price or as powerful for less than the cost of buying one off ebay used, it may also and preferable come from eBay EU. I know there are a couple of other ones that as as powerful but power consumption is sort of a consideration, he said it might be running for a while so try to find something that won't use a ton, but he understands that at this price point (€400 or so) he won't be getting anything from the last few years. 

Yours faithfully

I can't think of anything better tbh. The 290/290x are 1/8 rate but that's not as good as 1/3, 280/x are 1/4 but they're way weaker.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Yes, I do have a Quadro K5000 but I use that in a server (single 8 pin at the back for the win) so I can't sell it to him. Titan Black it is
