Titan Z Has Been Cancelled?...

Even the poorly written article/thread mentions: "Nvidia reportedly took additional time to tweak clock-rates of GPU and memory as well as to polish its drivers. Nvidia did not comment on the news-story."

 

So no source, no quote, no official statement or comment.

 

I doubt this card is scrapped.  Repurposed or remarketed perhaps.  Gamers won't be sold on it but people who are semi-professional and full time professionals may find this card a better purchase than a K5000 or Q6000.

I won't be buying this card, but I wish it gets released already so the so-call "professionals" get it and we can move past it... unless they also release a 790, in that case Nvidia can take their sweet time.

Why not just market it as a compute card and give us an actually 780ti x2 card for $1500 as well?

Well look at the way AMD treated that one driver issue NVIDIA had with SLI. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/148714-shots-fired-amd/

 

Imagine NVIDIA ships out a card that costs twice as much and has a triple slot cooler. AMD will be all over that with marketing.

 

If NVIDIA had advertised Titan Z as a compute card to begin with it could have been ok, but they advertised it with gaming too.

 

I think they dug a hole for themselves.

For the record, the store where I work has a Titan Z, though we're not allowed to sell it until the official release date. It is definitely not cancelled.

Maybe they didn't think AMD would release a dual GPU card given the heat issues?

I hope Nvidia goes all in with Maxwell. They have to make back the money somehow...

Help me I'm surrounded by morons.
