Nvidia delays GTX Titan Z - 790 incoming?

it only takes 9 days to test it just to see if it can be stable at 95 C
So, according to a UK retail site(Overclockers.co.uk), the Titan Z is not cancelled. They already have the cards.
WCCFTech says that Nvidia are only doing software changes, so basically drivers. My guess is that they are going to allow the card to go up to higher temperatures to get higher clocks to bridge the gap.
They should just scrap the card and go for the 790, and swallow their pride.

Pretty confident there.
Your 780 is faster than 99% 290s out there.?
Yes in your dreams.
Bulky air coolers like the Powercolor PCS+ allow the 290s to hit 1100-1200s at which point the are faster than the air cooled 780 like yours out there.
Take your 780 on water, than you forget that the 290s could be put on water too.
As for running on a 450 PSU, you are probably limiting the card.
It would actually clock faster than 1202/6900 if you had more Watts to throw at it. You have no proof that you aren't holding back the card with that meager PSU.
Another member already addressed your BS pricing issue.
I would gladly accept your CHALLENGE but I don't have 290, I have a 290x, so maybe someone else will oblige.

I got my XFX from online retailer (Superbiiz) a month ago for 420... Gonna put on a G10 bracket with Corsair h50 on it, lets see how the 290x does under water. Probably better than Titan for half the price.
Make sure to get a fan on the VRM & some good thermal pads.
If you have Hynix RAM & can do 1500-1600 on RAM & 1200 on the core, you can smoke 95% of the Titans out there.
It is called the "Titan Killer" for a reason

I got the G10 and H50 already, waiting for this kit to come to add additional cooling to my VRM.
and Oh Yeah, I got them Hynix memory. :awe:
The Titan Z Lives!
Here it is at Ebay:
There's a Zotac one at Amazon, too, and it has the same price.
Set sail for Titan Z fail!

I've had both a 290 and currently own a 780, both water-cooled. I found the 780 to be easier to OC and was faster underwater. I don't think it really matters that much though because most games do not need an OC at all. I did have more driver issues with AMD. Wow had a frame hitching bug on the 290. I had to alt-tab out and in to fix it. The colors were really messed up in Trine 2 with the 290 and confirmed by my friend that also had a 290. With the 780 it was fine. I also had some HDMI audio issues on AMD. Overall, I am more satisfied with my 780. I was able to sell my 290 at the peak of their crypto value and purchase a 780 + pocket some change.

It's 5% off now, though! What a steal! :awe:

And free shipping! The ridiculous thing would be not buying it!
How far did your 290 & 780 go.??
As for the driver troubles, I don't know what to say.
I haven't had any.
But with all these people complaining there must be some truth to it. But not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
AMD's architecture is faster clock for clock, but Nvidia's GK110 is such a clock monster that it can out distance AMD based on sheer clockspeed.
Before I got my 290x Lightning, I had a 780 Classy with Hynix RAM, that I benched in Valley at 1420/1927 on AIR with zero artifacts.
Granted it was at 10 Fahrenheit ambients outside with 100% fans & no case windows on.
It was still crazy & that was surely one of those Golden cards people talk about.
Wish I could have kept it, would've been able to bench 1600 with a full cover block.
All this aside, the poster I quoted claiming his 1202/6900 780 is faster than even 99% of water cooled 290s out there is pure stupidity.
That's very strange, because GK104 with 25% less shaders and less memory bandwidth to boot almost matched Tahiti clock for clock, arguably even matching it at 1080p, the performance delta increased along with resolution and MSAA but it was still within 10% or so. In some games surpassing tahiti with ease and coming close to titan. And now hawaii is comfortably faster clock for clock with 2806 shaders versus 2880' of GK110 and clock for clock R290 with 2560 shaders is even slightly faster than Titan with 2688 shaders. In the past NV could compete with 25% less shaders and now they need 5% more. That's massive and 512bit bus doesn't explain it either since memory is clocked lower and bandwidth is very similar.

maybe Tahiti was also somewhat limited by having 32ROPs, Hawaii have 64, GK110 48, GK104 32,

That's just DGLee. He regularly posts these sorts of rubbish articles. What he often does is simulate products based on expected clockspeeds, so that's what I expect he's doing here too.So a Korean overclocker somehow claims to have gotten an early sample and says he has tried it. He isn't impressed. He didn't even compare with the 295X2, instead compared the card with 2 x 290X. But Titan ZZzzzzZz still lost.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that GTX Titan Z should be at best close to GTX 780 Ti SLI in performance, nor does it take a rocket scientist to figure out that GTX Titan Z is not priced to directly compete against other SLI/Xfire options.

Well then its a good thing we don't have a surplus of rocket scientists wasting time browsing Anandtech's forums.

But apparently it takes a rocket scientist to understand I was talking about the source, not the pricing of Titan Z 😀
AMS, you just managed to humiliate yourself ^^
Except that I do have an interest in Titan Z, hence the thread.
You started a personal attack, failed miserably since you couldn't even do basic reading comprehension and now you're trying to salve a failing position. It's very amusing.
So who needs to move on, ams23? ^^
I'm done with you, but please do continue if you must. It'll amuse me. 😀
