Yo Yo Yo, guys I'm back, and missed out on alot of news lately, I heard of the Green Sides Gtx Titan Z (don't throw rocks yet) and AMD's 295, and wanna talk (lets be nice about it) about how these two cards knock head's together. Will they be in the same performance area or is the 295 just for those price riser miners? Also, I know that the GTX Titan Z price tag is killing the cards name... but do you think they have it that high for now and then knock it down to make you think your getting a deal? Think of the 780... I think that's there game play.. I might be wrong... but lets sit and discuss. 

The time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.

Look at the price/performance ratio, the 295X2 would win, though if you can burn cash the Titan Z wins.

There is such a vast price difference that comparing the two is pointless

You can't possibly know how fast the Titan-Z is without it being released. Besides, Titan Z isn't even a gaming card. Hence why it has such low clock speeds

The 295x is designed for gamers, not good for productivity

 

the Titan Z is designed for developers/creators/editors - and some crazy gamers

 

The Titan Z is worth the extra money for its compute performance, not for its gaming prowess

Not so sure. Don't know how far the Titan Blacks have been downclocked but it should be quite a bit.

So, that press conference was mainly mean't for those heavy programmers? So that card is for them, while we get maxwell?

The Titan originally came from their super computers as an accelerator card. the GK110 was designed for for the K20 quadro which is like £5000 even today.

 

nVidia realised they could create a cheaper version to market to enthusiasts/creators and flush gamers. The Titan Z is really for content creators, but nvidia know that pelnty of people can also afford to shove them in their PC for killer gaming too, but people who do are wasting money as they will not benefit from the extra computer performance that titan offers.

 

Thats why the 780ti exists, its the titan without the computer peformance but cheaper and better at games. They still sell the titan, and yes it is very good at games, just like I can take a ferrari out to go buy milk from the shop and people do, but really its meant for the track

Gamers could still get Titan Z, but the average person doesn't have that kind of money to use... Hell, that card alone is worth more than a lot of the builds of enthusiasts and home users

Well for gaming the 295 would win since it is a gaming card it is built for gaming and nothing else (APART FROM BITCOIN MINING HAR HAR HAR). one can play games on a Titan Z, Quadro, and Tesla but would you want to?

I would definetly pick one of these up. I love shadowplay though.

But..... 4K Skyrim.......

W/E.

I have a 780 and am happy for ther time being as long as I can play games on ultra 60FPS on 1080p.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Thats almost the same way I people explain differences except the oppisite. The Quadros Teslas and Titans are a big ol Semis who can tow a shit ton (DP performance) and ferraris are your regular GTX cards. Ferraris will do your joy rides (gaming and such) but they don't have the towing power (DP and special drivers for Teslas and Quadros)

Two custom cooled GTX 780 SLI.

No, dual 820's would obviously be better because the number is higher. 

I budget build well. Want to learn? PM me if you want advice.

That's true, it's being touted as a gaming card with DP for workstation purposes....

 

But seriously, this question should not be asked at all since the Titan Z is TWICE the cost of the R9-295X2, but seeing that it competes very well against a pair of GTX780 Ti's, one can postulate that in terms of pure gaming, it should equal or beat the Titan Z.

Looking at benchmarks on both cards the R9 295x2 seems to be a bit slower than GTX 780 ti in most games and only a bit faster in BF 4 and Theif. The 295 is a better looking card but the performance for AMD's flagship card is lacking.

Are you blind? It destroys the 780ti.

Did you even watch the livestream? Multiple times the Nvidia CEO said the card was intended for people that needed ridiculous compute power for real time rending at high resolutions, and being able to game when they were on break/ if they wanted to.

I want whatever you're smoking, the 295 is as fast if not faster than 780ti(SLi) as well as delivering better frame times for a better dual GPU experience and guys, the TitanZ will be slower than the 295 in games purely because If the 295 is beating 780ti in SLI which is faster than down clocked Titan Blacks ergo TitanZ will not beat it in gaming. However in CUDA best DP based programming the TitanZ is leaps ahead.
