Titan-Z under 3K NZD

[Str_Mape]

Already discounted price at $3259.95 then you get a further 8% off dropping it down to 2999.15 which makes it a semi-reasonable price and makes it significantly cheaper than it is in the states.

My absolute lowest would be 2k.

[Cokeman]

My absolute lowest would be 2k.

But a 295x2 beats it

[Guest]

But a 295x2 beats it

but two titans cost 2k so to me, regardless of the competition, that would be the price that I would be willing to buy it at.

But a 295x2 beats it

and if you need cuda in a mini itx build this would be the card

[GloriousPain]

A: NOT worth it
B: Not even worth the brain power to consider it till it's less than 2k
C: Just for GIGGGLES @JayzTwoCents

nice price now to con pccasegear to price mach

 They're not 2k down here...

They are in America. Well give or take a few dollars.

[Str_Mape]

Exactly but this is not an american deal, down here titan blacks are 1700 and titans aren't available so this is actually a pretty good deal.

[spwath]

Still not worth it need to be $1500 to be worth it.

Lol wut no...

a titan black is 1000, needs to be 2000 to be worth it

1k is the most any normal human being should ever pay for a consumer grade graphics card for consumer grade purposes.

But I thought that this card was aimed at proffesionals not consumers?

[threadysparrow]

But I thought that this card was aimed at proffesionals not consumers?

yeah but how many professionals are going to buy this over a workstation card? The majority of people who buy this are going to be gamers with more money than sense. Thus why I consider it a consumer card.

[alby800]

yeah but how many professionals are going to buy this over a workstation card? The majority of people who buy this are going to be gamers with more money than sense. Or 

unless you need an on-the-go workstation machine so you could fit a dual gpu card in M-itx

I am not really sure I am sort of guessing here, I don't even know if that kind of stuff can make use of dual gpus.

Or as one of the build logs that is going on here is using 2 Titan Z's because they need the extra slots for other cards like raid cards etc.

1+1 = 1.5 now apparently ?

 

 

@threadysparrow

 

A workstation card of "similar" degree is more expensive, and less powerful than a titan Z in cuda rendering.  (quadro k6000 is $3000-$6000 I believe, and only has 2880 cuda cores  + 12gb of vram, Titan Z has double the cuda cores and most likely a higher clock speed on them as well)

 

The only things it would have going for it over the titan z, would be rated at 100% usage 24/7 + most likely a better warranty.

 

If someone needed raw GPU horsepower, the Titan Z would prevail.  Most of the people that will buy them don't give a dam if it's $3,000 or $5,000 because the people that "need" it, will buy it regardless.

So those people would be in the minority of people using them like I mentioned. The Titan Z has basic connectivity in the back that normal users use most. If this card was directed towards creative professionals then why would they have HDMI? And 12 GB VRAM in a $3000 card is not that much. The Firepro cards have 16 GB VRAM and they're the same price. Most creative people who use these high end video cards use them for the VRAM. Game studios, graphic designers, and studios like Dreamworks and Pixar are the main users of these types of cards and they wouldn't use a Titan Z at all.

[imthewalrus]

That just means they are not selling any and therefore dropped the price. 

[Earache]

which makes it a semi-reasonable price

 

lol..

[Str_Mape]

lol..

Well when it's less than the cost of two titans that's definitely reasonable.

[Viddiecent]

now roll on the 780ti for under 700!

Actually exactly those people would use a Titan Z.(That's also the main market for the normal TITAN)

You would just use a Titan Z and a cheap Quadro card for color work.

In 3D rendering the main thing you care about is CUDA Cores and Vram which the TITAN has a lot off.

And AMD is pretty much non existing in the 3D rendering space.
