A GTX 1060 with 6 GB of RAM is a good intro card. You can find them for < $350.
The AWS P2 instances recommended for the course ($0.90/hour) have half a K80, which has access to 12 GB of VRAM. The list price for that card is $5000.
The GTX 1080 Ti has almost as much VRAM as half a K80, 11GB, and can be found for around $700.
