Titan Z released!

Only a spoiled kid living off of his parents' riches, or an egomaniac, would purchase this card (if not used for professional purposes).

Anyone who uses this card for FP performance (with non ECC ram) or Cuda and GPGPU task would be fucking stupid.

They could spend $3000 on 3 titan blacks and have more FP performance, and more cuda cores for GPGPU tasks.

There is no way to spin this card as a great Cuda card or FP performance since its very overpriced compared to Titan blacks.

Also Nvidia is saying this card is great for gaming. Look at the product page on Evga MSI and Asus. They specifically say that Titan Z is the next best card for 4k gaming. No mention of FP performance or great for people who need the cuda cards.

This card is $1500 too much

Not sure if agreeing with me or arguing...

A Core i5 4590S (65w) + Titan Z (at default limits) is already pushing 440w. Only 10w remaining for Mobo + RAM + SSD.

That said, you can always go into EVGA Precision and tell it to limit the Titan Z to a specific TDP. Scale it back by 10w and you'd give yourself a 20w envelope for Mobo + RAM + SSD. That's do-able.

I guess what I'm saying is, dual-GPU is do-able at 450w, but you'd be cutting it VERY close.

Edit: Also, can't the M1 take a full ATX PSU? And a shorter one still allows full-length graphics cards. Might be a better option.

M1 can take a full size psu at the downfall of only accepting a shorter gpu.
 
$3K for that bad boy when enthusiasts can put two blacks together as less expensive option? I'll pass on that
 
Great job NVidia! The Titan Z cost TWICE as much as the AMD R9 295X! It performs in the same class! And you couldn't even 'Water Cool the card for us!

For HALF the price we get the same performance, and something that is already water cooled.

Or I can just go buy (3) Titan blacks.

And I though AMD was crazy for asking $1,500 for the R9 295X! Ha! It should have been $1,199.99

And NVidia is asking $3,000 for a less performance of two Titans.

AMD is not nearly as crazy as NVidia!

I guess it is just one of those, "If you are dumb enough to buy it" And you can afford it type video cards! Im sure everyone here would agree with me, that a stack of GTX cards in a case looks a lot better anyways! Right? Who doesn't want 3 Titans stacked up in there case?

But either way! I cannot talk smack about it. Its a nice card, it is fast! Cool looking! And it will get 4K gaming done, and other heavy work loads. And it is TWO Titans in ONE! Who would not want it? Its just, 3k is kinda crazy!

I still belive 2K is the max a GPU should cost! NOT including WORKSTATION CARDS

I think you are being generous. $1K is a more reasonable limit, IMO.
 
have x2 cards improved at all? I've got a stack of dead 4870x2's here...
 
im more worried that next gen nvidia cards like a 880 or 870 will not outperform this titan Z :(

They may not, but we should see a hell of a reduction in power consumption and temps...something that nVidia has been awesome at delivering with each new generation for a while now.

That's a near-certainty.

Look at the GTX 690. We're still having trouble outpacing that old dual-GPU card with a current-gen single-GPU card. You need a seriously overclocked 780Ti or Titan Black to do it.

I expect whatever Nvidia releases as a GTX 880 to be about 20% faster than the current GTX 780 Ti. Pretty standard generational jump... but it wont come anywhere close to beating a Titan Z with one GPU.

i dont really care too much about consumption and temps. we reach a stage where we need to go back into the old generation of releasing gpu's where each single card solution high end outperforms any card that was out previously.

Now it seems if u want the best one card solution(single gpu or two GPU inside) you need to spend now over £2k?

Back in the day as early as the 8800/ 280's cards u spend just max 600-700

Used to be even better than that. Remember when the GeForce 6 series launched?

6600GT came out and was faster than the fastest card of the previous-gen (Radeon 9800 Pro), but only cost $150. It was one of the top-selling cards of the entire range because of that.

Back in the day? Fastest card in the GeForce 8 series was the 8800 Ultra. MSRP of $829, and the street price was more like $999

I owned a 8800 ultra and I don't remember that having an msrp that high. I've never paid more than 600 for a card, you sure?
