nVidia GTX TITAN Z performance leaked

[Inkz]

Is it just me or are the performance benchmarks not much of a surprise. If the card is two titans or whatever won't it just be pretty similar to two separate titans in sli anyway

Does anyone really think that 2 GPUs with the same RAM,Core count, etc   on one card will have a surprising result. Am I the only one that gets upset when some one asks how they will believe a dual GPU card perform vs 2 cards in CX/SLI. The answer is very redundant.

[Askew]

That PCB is a work of art.

[Linus_torvalds]

They are for 4k, see the fine print.

 

edit- Core I7 3960X-3.3GHz, 3840x2160, with AA

really? why would you need AA on 3840x2160 resolution (24-28" screens)

 

example http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=860-BBCD

it has 185 PPI and you are sitting about 50 cm in front from the screen. in my opinion you do not need AA 

 

i had mobile phone with 4.5" screen 480x800 it had 207 PPI but pixels were invisible from normal distance for mobile use so it's my arguments

Yes really, because that's what it says on the screenshot

 

Unless it's a lie, in which case trust nothing ever.

This card is for people who need DP, I think some of you don't understand.

Your eyes must be terrib;e of you haven't seen better screens. If you have 20/20 vision, at 1 foot you would need 600 ppi before you start not getting any benifits.

[AlwaysFSX]

The R9 295x2 already beats two 780 Ti cards in SLI.

The Titan Z has two underclocked versions of the Titan Black GPU so it will naturally be slower than two 780 Ti cards in SLI.

Titan Z is a stillbirth, dead before it was even introduced to market.

I can't wait to see an EVGA HydroCopper card be OC'd and wreck the Radeon meltdown.

600 PPI? man you have eyes or microscope?

 

you know what retina display is right? 300 PPI is limit from 12 inch to not notice any pixels. and from 50 cm 185 PPI screen does not need AA. you can not see jaggies (as linus said)

"Retina" is marketing dribble for a really high pixel density for the time. It's 600, that is a scientific fact, there is no disputing it.

[7850OC]

Did they delay it so the performance is faster than the new amd r9 295x2 card?

i will say...yea (i think) 

 

and they are not even sure... of bring this new Z to the market right now... at this point (i guess) 

 

 

the water block on the R9 295X2 was a killer move from AMD (for the green side)  B)

[DavidTheWin]

NVidia really made a mistake with this card I think. The price tag is the nail in the coffin, I get that R&D costs and a larger margin because they will sell fewer contribute to the price but when AMD can bring the same or better performance (in games at least) with what looks to be better cooling and probably better noise levels, what's the obvious choice unless you really want some NVidia features? I understand that it isn't angled towards consumers but even on the pro level, spending the same money on 2 295x2s and using OpenCL over CUDA has to be tempting.

you are not right my friend. so you say on galaxy s4 (441 PPI) you can see pixel? LOL

 

even on 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.8 inches (~306 ppi pixel density) it is almost imposible to see pixel with only eye about 12 inch away from the screen

Hmm. I don't think they made a mistake. People (some enthusiasts & those who both like work in 3d & at the same time play games) still gonna buy it. Remember, Titan's & HD 7990 price? 7990 was way cheaper, but people still prefer Titan, cause it's Nvidia.

I can see the point of buying this card for cuda applications, companies can afford it. But i don't think normal consumers can justify themselves a 3K$ card for gaming, especially when the 295X2 is a better value.

Agree with you.

[Scionyde]

Not if you look at Tom's Hardware and AnandTech benchmarks. Between the two sites, the 295x2 does better in only about half the benchmarked games. I have no idea why anybody would want to go to Forbes as their go-to for benchmarks...

 

Don't get me wrong, I think the Titan Z is kinda silly, but I'm just sayin'...

I'm not right.... really? They teach this stuff to Optical Engineers.

It's not about being able to see pixels and you can, There is so much more to it just than that.

[klotza1]

I am utterly astonished at the community acting so ignorant to change, especially on Linus Tech Tips.  Nvidia has been dominating for so long, the time has finally come for a failure and what do the people say? "It's a fluke."   

 

 

BUUULLLLLLLLL

 

Amd finally stuck nvidia with the sharp end, for the first time in years, a superior product for a MUCH cheaper price. 

 

We can agree on: 

 

1. Geforce branded card = Gaming (Plastered all over nvidia website.

2. Double precision = Average

3. Workstation verified? = Hardly, you are better off with a Quadro/firepro

 

Reality: Once in a while the competition gets the best of you...

 

Get ovvvvveerrrr ittttttttttttttttttt!

[hAxx]

Power comsumption on this?

[A Bubble]

Dumbest card introduced for a while.

[FluffyNuggets]

Well this just confirms my puny 780 Classified isn't enough for 4k. 

[Adu_Will]

This is the only time that i found Chinese is useful in reading a graphics card review.

[Imabigmac]

I think there are a lot people including the reviewers linked here forgot that the Titan Z isn't supposed to be a gaming card.... 

[digitalnav]

Oh what, THATS OUR BOLT II!
