Why Titan Z?

[Trail Mixorz]

Doesn't this card perform like 2 titans? So why is it 3x the price of the titan? Are they charging an extra $1000 for the extra VRAM? Maybe I don't understand the reason for making it, unless it is actually a lot better than 2 titans.

[Osmium]

Why not? This is not a gaming card after all and people buying it for gaming usually know that and don't care. And people buying it for it's double precision might just find a single card more convenient than 2.

[Ryan Leech]

You are paying $1000 extra so you can have the wpoer of two titans in 1 PCI Express slot

[Rorgash]

because it has 12gb vram, while a million old titans only have 6 no matter what, its a super computer, not for gaming

[dragosudeki]

Why are you asking about its performance when it isn't out yet? The extra $1000 is probably to fit the two Titans onto one card. (Because smaller is usually more expensive).

[BloodWithIce]

Because Nvidia has to prove to everybody that they're the best and have the most powerful card on the market.

So if you want to build the ultimate ultra-high definition gaming rig that can harness the power of quad GPUs working in tandem, TITAN Z is the perfect graphics card. - See more at: http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2014/03/25/titan-z/#sthash.08VY7JFc.dpuf

 

Ultra High End? The Card costs the same as the rest of the build, the only thing ultra about it is the Price

2 Titans, 1 pcie slot, paying for R&D... End of story.

There is no valid reason for the price of this card to be so high, the convenience of having these raw numbers in a single PCI slot is hardly a good excuse to charge $3000. I love Nvidia and refuse to use anything else but typical them to pull a move like this

They are predicting low sales, this inflates the cost of R&D.

If they're predicting low sales, then why bother making the product at all? A stupid move or they're lying through their teeth, and I believe the latter.

Profit is profit, people will buy these cards, they do have a purpose just not to that many.

N.. and double O.. No. Titan Z is just a waste of money..

[othertomperson]

Because it's basically a Tesla card that can also game? If that doesn't sound like something you'd use it for, then it's probably not meant for you anyway. The pricing is pretty standard for the market they're going for.

I really don't see z doing much for a gamer

because titans aren't aimed at gamers to begin with? it's a Tesla card with gaming functionality.. if you're not in need of a Tesla card don't even bother looking at a titan(1st gen)
