OK, this only my opinion based on some observations, but I'm thinking NVIDIA might have announced TITAN Z a little too soon.
Why? TITAN Z is based on GK110 (and probably underclocked), which is the older Kepler technology. I read a review of the new GTX 750 and how Maxwell architecture could knock AMD off the crypto-currency crown. GTX 750ti hits 242kh/s, which while less than the R7 265, GTX 750ti does this with only 60W of power. That means Maxwell is faster on a clock/power ration. This is where the problem with TITAN Z comes in. Could NVIDIA have been better off announcing a dual near-TITAN level 28nm Maxwell instead? Either way, when 20 nm Maxwell arrives, and a dual-GPU card is launched it's going to cannibalize TITAN Z, especially if it was priced at or slightly higher than the GTX 690.
