Titan Z, postponed, looks like this "titan fell" to the 295

[brownninja97]

So rumors have been going around that the 295 is pooing all over the titan, by that its like 2-3 fps but you know how people are, they are like me, thats a bad habit, dont be like me.

 

This is due to the superior cooling of the 295, the two gpus in that card are clocked 300mhz higher, you might notice that the cooler above is the a triple slot, they tried to increase the heatsinks in order to raise the clocks, they are probably gona overhaul so that it can beat the 295.

 

 

Nvidia have said(no ask where, its not said where) that it will not hit the markets in april, no new date has been added so im assuming that half life 3 will come out first.

 

Well enjoy the new pictures of the card, i think it looks fat, too many cream cakes, BAD TITAN.

I told you, no one listened to me, wait for the titan brown, then you will be in true awe

Comparing an AIO and a single fan cooler is an unfair comparison.

LOL why it doesn't surprise me?

precisly but nvidia dont seem to like that

Titan Z: $3000

R9 295x2: $1500

 

It is fair.

R9 295x2: $1500

 

It is fair.

i guess the logical thing to do is to buy R9 295x2x2 get it ahahahaha

Titan Z: $3000

R9 295x2: $1500

 

It is fair.

You are comparing a card with 8GB of vRAM to a card with 12GB.

You are comparing a card that double floating precision accuracy to one that doesn't.

You are comparing a CUDA monster opposed to a OpenCL monster (but who uses OpenCL anyway?)

 

Does all that justify the high cost of the Titan Z? Probably not. BUT it does help to justify it. 

Titan Z is a computing monster, R9 295x2 is a gaming monster.

I wouldn't be mad if Nvidia cancel that card and go for a $1,500 GTX 790...

How do we know Nvidia won't come out with a revision of the Titan Z with an AIO water cooler. But instead it had the same aesthetic as the stock coolers. I think that would be a win for Nvidia if the pricing was right. $3000 is far too expensive for a duel GPU card that should cost £2000. If Nvidia had just taken 2 780Ti's and made a duel GPU card with that and charged £1500 for it I would have been happy. Although the Titan Z wasn't a card made for gaming in the first place so maybe Nvidia was planning on coming out with a duel GPU 780Ti from the start.

I was justifying the comparing an AIO with a air cooler . Yes I understand, the Titan Z is a better card than the r9 295x2, especially for high resolution gaming. It's still a ridiculous price point though, you can't even justify it A BIT .

[brownninja97]

Do you DoubleY dare me? 

your kappa skills are no match, also im pretty sure 99% of mac users use opencl, opencl does have uses.

I bet if the Titan Z was at a normal clock speed (opposed to the turned down one they have) they'd perform exactly the same. No GAME can even use 6GB (per card) of vRAM unless you're playing at 6K or 8K

Titan Z is still stupidly high priced, I would agree. 

[MbV93]

Ha! Kudos to AMD! They really crushed nvidia's super expensive marketing gimmick.

Multi Monitor 1440p or multi monitor 4k is what I'm talking about ;P, not a single 8k display.

I really don't even know why I bother to comment on Titan Z related posts anymore.  EVERYONE LISTEN UP: THE TITAN Z IS NOT PRIMARILY A GAMING CARD FOR CONSUMERS!! THEREFORE IT SHOULD NOT BE COMPARED TO THE 295 IN TERMS OF PRICE:PERFORMANCE. Thank you.

the irony

[Nineshadow]

The Titan Z isn't even supposed to compete with the 295...Nvidia needs to release the 790 for that.

Don't go there brother... not another thread of people "explaining" why Nvidia itself call the Titans gaming cards... :rolleyes:

I hope that with this we're done discussing that matter... :rolleyes:

well the corporate guys dont give two shits about what its branded, by calling it a gaming card nvidia could snatch up just that extra bit of money from the people that some how justified buying the card.

Don't worry I won't be arguing with anyone over it this time   just thought I'd slap that statement on the thread.

Use Blender(Cycles) without using CUDA.

You won't have a life while it's rendering ;_;

This is a professional card that can also game not a gaming card.
It's a dual TITAN Black and the TITAN Black doesn't compete with the R9-290X in the first place.
A GTX790 with dual GTX780 TI would be a different story.
