Titan Z announced - where are the reviews?

[Galatian]

For the price I'm kinda puzzled why they did not take a play form The 295x and water cool it. They could bump the clocks and at least make it more competitive.

I think it is pretty clear that Nvidia got surprised by both the high end CGN 1.1 chips as well as their price. AMD did one thing wrong and that was their initial heat sink design. Even now people are still saying it is loud and uses too much energy, while in reality the custom cooled cards are fine in that prospect.
Nvidia probably didn't think AMD could pull a dual GPU card which stays within limits and got extremely surprised by the fact that the 295X2 was watercooled.
But what to do? You already announced the card, showed it off and bragged about why it is the best and why it is priced the way it is. Nvidia had to release it this way to save their face and I'm sure a lot of people will still buy it.

Supercars are highly visible status symbols, and remain so for years to come. Graphics cards sit inside a case under your desk and go out of date within a couple of years.

Bingo. With a supercar you're buying a rolling piece of art, and the LaFerrari, P1, 918, and the One:1 are already appreciating in value, and will continue to do so because they're so limited, video cards don't. $3k for a GPU is completely nuts.

It is groundbreaking, but... geez.

As much as Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari when you can get a WRX for $26k.



Now 7.

Spoken like someone that has never experienced any of those cars.

I think this card should be priced closer to the Radeon 295, but this card really isn't aimed for value shoppers that compare price. Nvidia will make a small number of these (relatively speaking) and sell what they do produce. I don't think this card makes any sense at $3k, but I was never Nvidia's target audience with this card.

What? You have way too many posts to be a troll, though maybe the ultra high post count does make you a troll, I'm not sure here, but what you wrote is just sad, I pity you.

I don't even know how to respond to such troll post, or maybe you are just really, really sad.

Reviewers are rushing to buy them so we can see some benches by next week
and that's the only sales you'll see :biggrin:

7 left now. That's 2 sold in one day. Not bad! If you hurry you can be the first to review this product on their page.

What I was going to say. I mean that is literally who's going to be buying this card.

I mean you have about 20 serious English hardware review sites that are likely to buy this card just to review it, then the specialist hardware sites in their respective languages, all around I'd say that is around 100 hardware review sites that are going to buy about 150 cards just so they can test in SLI and stuff like that and maybe couple dozen of overclocking enthusiasts who do OC with liquid cooling and stuff like that and that is literally who will buy these cards.

I mean if they sent samples they would literally be eating out probably 40% to 50% of their customers who will be buying this useless card.

Lol @ the video.
So much for people here claiming its not a "Gaming Card".

The guy in the Video didn't say "CUDA" even once.

I am going to respond with this video whenever some Nvidia fanboy says TitanZ is for Compute.

And the response you will see is only a fool would spend 3k on this to play games!

Its an epic looking card but that price is just pure stupidity. Does Nvidia take their customers for fools?

Yes

 

[PPB]

Where are the reviews? Probably in the same hiding spot for all those Atari's E.T catridges :awe:

 

[rtsurfer]

But the "GENIUSES" at Nvidia who created this card are marketing it as a gaming card.

Are you claiming that you are either smarter than entire Nvidia's Marketing Team & Engineers or are they really dumb. ?

 

[chimaxi83]

nvm

 

[Madpacket]

Anyone who buys this card strictly for gaming needs to get their head checked.

You are claiming that not I.

Common sense is the answer to your question.

look just like an anandtech review after google translate it.

 

[master_shake_]

double the price for less perfomance that a 295x2?

no ecc so workstation is out of the question...

who is this for?

Thanks for the link! The 295x2 beats the Tz in every game except for Bioshock (even then it's a 1 FPS delta). I can't imagine anyone paying $3k for a GPU to play at 1400p, let alone 1080p unless you are a professional tourney gamer on a 120hz monitor. Even then, why pay $3k when you can spend half for better performance?

Titan Z? More like Titan zzzzzz.....

Yes the card must be really pathetic considering it won by only 1 FPS in Bioshock Infinite eventhough Nvidia tends to DOMINATE AMD in that game.


I suspect we might see a Gtx 790 for Revenge or maybe not.

GTX 790 with 6GB instead of 12GB, H2O cooling and higher clocks is the answer

Until it starts to stutter because of lack of VRAM.

Just like to add, if they do release a 780 ti x2 I hope they undercut the 295x2 price so AMD has to give us a better price.

It's around $4K over here
