GeForce GTX Titan Z: Dual GK110 Makes 5,760 Core Monster

I think people are missing the point here. Progress has to start somewhere, and it's going to be expensive to begin with. The success is surely in putting these two gpu's on one card, managing the timing of these precisely to prevent bottlenecks oh and the chips are a lot closer together meaning faster data transfer. All in a cool package with low profile components. Why can't people read. Too expensive? Clearly not aimed at you then.

no...this is the manufacturers screwing the customers. Thats all this is.

This isnt the first dual gpu card they have made. There was the 590 and the 690. This is just some new way for them to try and squeeze out more money from the consumer before they finally release a new series of card.

Well you clearly know far more than the graphics card manufacturing giant's engineers and bean counters.

Other than the fact of being able to basically fit 2 titans into a small case this card is over priced at 3k. 2 titans can be had for less than 2k so you are basically paying an extra thousand for what? The ability to fit 2 titans into a small case using 1 pcb? Thats insane to me. I just wouldnt understand anyone buying this.

Would make for an insane Mini-ITX gaming rig though. :lol:

Surely this is just 6GB per GPU? If so, then it's a 6GB card, not 12GB. Reallygetting tired of this marketing fluff of quoting RAM capacities of dual-GPU cardsas being the sum of the RAM for each GPU. Doesn't work that way. Unless ofcourse this is a different configuration entirely, like a single shared 12GB pool,but that's very unlikely (otherwise, the PR would have made a lot more noiseabout such a thing). As for those moaning about price, etc., it's not aimed atgamers, period, so please give it a rest. It's for solo-professionals and SMBswho can't afford Tesla but want something better for dp compute and largeRAM. It still lacks various features of Tesla, but the appeal is obvious if youunderstand the market subtleties, which many here clearly don't.Ian.It has 6GB per GPU, and thus on a dual GPU card it has 12, it is just a condensed version two GTX Titans on the same PCB. I personally don't like these cards, and they are not liked for a reason. Too much power draw to a single device (even if its multiple cards (technically) the power goes to the same spot), and more importantly they always run way to hot and loud. And no, it is not meant for gaming, at least not in a usual sense. The only gaming function anyone in their right mind would spend this much for is development. The head room for future proofing is minimal, the amount of VRAM doesn't help, and by the time it would, we would already have faster and more efficient VRAM for our GPU's. So all in all, its really cool, but please, real PC gamers don't play on their laptops so give us something we can use in desktop at a price we can afford. Preferably before the end of 2015.

you are correct lol. Would make for an insane mini-itx

Nvidia clearly can understand people buying it. It just so happens you are not one of them, therefor can't understand 'anyone' buying it. Don't buy it, get two titans. That is after all what you would do.

Ah i sense sarcasm that is not needed. Anyway no i'll stick with my current gpu and happily wait for 20nm maxwell.
