videocardzFirst NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z review leaks out

It's obvious they are working on better scaling, as this is where Hawaii kicked their butt hard...

So, let's be prepared for benchmarks with handpicked software...

Only brought it up because hypocrisy is laughable.

And I would have responded to it except I'd be the one to get the infraction for being OT.

I hope they at least include a fps/$'s chart/graph

That's insane. Even if this thing was twice as fast as 295-X2 (and it won't be), the number of people willing to pay $3,000 for a gaming video card is miniscule at best. NVidia's marketing department is smoking crack.

I see a big price cut coming in this product's future, quickly.

Are you kidding me? If it were 20% faster they'd pay twice as much for it. Look at the original Titan. It's slower than the 295X now (presumably looking at 780 ti crossfire results and adjusting for clocks) and I promise you plenty of people would pay more than $1500 for it while complaining that the 295X2 shouldn't cost more than 2x 290X's.

Therefore, by building the titan Z they are targeting gaming and not Cuda computing GG

I genuinely smiled at this one. Its like all your conversation with each other led up to this moment. I agree with the NV fans a bit on this one. If you are sold on the NV ecosystem and want bar-none the fastest single NV card with price as no object then clearly this is it.

And I can' to blame Nvidia for selling it if people are willing to buy it. I can't begin to see any scenario where I would do it, but those who do aren't being held at gunpoint and forced to buy it. With that being said this is one of the smallest performance improvements per dollar in computer history. It feels like an intel extreme edition processor.
