Except the Titan Z is a workstation card, not a dedicated gaming card... So their competition is not the Titan Z.

Go to Nvidia's website and look up the titan z. you will see the word gaming about a hundred times, and the word workstation none.

People always wanted a reason to justify their 1000-1500w PSU's..

 

Triple Crossfire'd 295x's + FX 9590 = HOLY CRAPPAWATTS!!!!!

Unless you're mining or something of the like you can only run 2 of these in one system. :)

AMD Ryzen 5900x, Nvidia RTX 3080 (MSI Gaming X-trio), ASrock X570 Extreme4, 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB @ 3200mhz CL16, Corsair MP600 1TB, Intel 660P 1TB, Corsair HX1000, Corsair 680x, Corsair H100i Platinum

So.  where are all the derp memes for AMD saying 500+500=1500?

 

 

Not that I care but if it's good for the goose it's good for the gander.  Unless of course every one has worked out how stupid those insinuations were.

I was just wondering...does anyone around here know about how much it costs to manufacture a GPU such as the R9 290x? I'm curious to know.

Why is the God of Hyperdeath SO...DARN...CUTE!?

 

Also, if anyone has their mind corrupted by an anthropomorphic black latex bat, please let me know. I would like to join you.

That's WAY too much.

 

EDIT: Just noticed, this is an AMD dual GPU graphics card, and it's named the 295 X2. Nvidia had a dual GPU called the 295... Copycats.

I always wanted a 295... http://hothardware.com/Reviews/SelfContained-WaterCooling-BFGs-GTX-295-H2OC-/

My profile pic is the game i'm currently playing. I hope i remember to change it..

It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014
