EVGA Titan Z release prices

Price is just a number. Just sell one of your balls.

Oh good, more poor 12 year olds complaining about the price of a card they'll never afford to own.

Remember that saying? If you are complaining about the price...

Nvidia won't lose money on these. They'll sell out every last one. Thats the power of marketing for you and in 12 months time ATI will figure out how to get away with the same thing that Nvidia is doing now.

Its not like the Titan Z existing means Nvidia stops making 760-780s for normal people, does it? Those are still there. Buy them. Buy a few of them. This card is not for you, so for fucks sake stop bringing up the inflated price as if its the reason the world will end.

so I expect you to buy a titan z because you seem to disregard the price?

What saying are you referring to?

If you have to ask, you can't afford it. 

 

Why would I buy it? I have zero need for a workstation card like that, even though I render a fair bit. Also why I don't bitch about the price, it has zero bearing on my purchasing ability or needs. 

 

Disregarding the price doesn't mean you'll automatically buy it. It means that those who actually need it aren't going to scoff at that price. Those who really want it will get it. 

Everyone else just sits around and doesn't care (most of us) and the small minority goes around and bitches the loudest about not being able to afford it.

Sorry, I forgot we can't criticise what seems to be a poor business move. People bring up the over the top price to point out that it is inferior to the AMD equivalent in performance and cost. 

 

We are also struggling to work out who it appeals to. It is NOT a workstation card, it is advertised as a gaming card, it has gaming drivers. So, if it is aimed at gamers, gamers are well within their rights to point out that it isn't an affordable option.

$3000 is a pretty good price for two workstation cards. The Titans have always been good value if you bought them for what they were intended for and not just used it as a 780/Ti.

 

The UK price is the equivalent of $4000, which is still a geographical rip off but less bad than I was expecting. Normally when transferring from USD to GBP they change the currency but keep the numbers the same, which would have brought it over $5000.

Workstation cards with no 10-bit support. 

 

 

WORST VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY FOR BOTH GAMING AND WORKSTATION.

its a good price for 2 workstation cards but what it is not is a good price for 2 titans.

the titan z has one advantage over the titan and that is that you can use it to fit 6 titan cores into a full tower case whereas you can only get 4 titan blacks. Other than that there is no reason to buy this card.

it's called intelligent discussion, you don't have to afford something to have an opinion on it. A large majority of tech review sites agree that it's too expensive but apparently they're just a small minority of bitchy poor people.

But if you read my posts you would understand that it's not only the price that doesn't make sense, it's who they are marketing it to. Gamers, not professionals. They did the same thing with the original titan and it baffled reviewers.

This is a tech forum that allows open discussion, no one is bitching about anything, we are simply giving opinion.

+1 It is marketed towards being a gaming card, it has gaming drivers. Double precision performance means squat for 99% of 'professionals', most (like in my workplace) need Quadros because programs will not allow GPU acceleration without having signed firepro/quadro drivers. 

 

K5000 > Titan-Z and is $1000 cheaper.

it is a gaming card through and through, I could understand if it was launched as a pro Sumer card along with a 790ti gaming card or something to that effect that had the same performance but lacked the DP and professional features in turn letting the price a fair bit. But that didn't happen.

Wait what news is this? My work, Micro Center, sells it for $2999 on the shelf and it has been on the shelf for a week or two. I think we even had the card in for the past few weeks before initial launch. Co-workers kept putting it up and the manager had to put it back because it wasn't released yet.
