SLI Naming Conventions

Would having two Titan Z's (Humor me here) in one system be SLI titan Z's or Quad Titan Z's?

Because correct me if i'm wrong, you'd call two Titan Z's Quad SLI, or Dual Titan Z's

 

Which way is correct, or, if neither is correct, what would be correct?

 

Also, this is what I'm trying to disprove, just for reference.

"No, quad Titan Z means 2 Titan Zs, as each card has two GPUs; 2x2=4.
There's a difference between quad SLI and 4-way SLI"

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Titan Z SLI, there can be no confusion if you say Titan Z SLI as there is only one way to configure it.

 

Could also be referred to as Quad SLI when the context of conversation is the number of GPUs in your setup not the specific chips.

So saying Quad Titan Z's means four Titan Z's, which is impossible, correct?

are you arguing with cokeman? 

 

id say dual titanZ. because if you have one, you will never say you have a dual Titan Z setup.

 

and quad = 4 so quadsli = 4way sli.

 

@Askew you are a bad teacher

Correct. The best way to say it is just Titan Z SLI since Titan Z only has 1 SLI config, 2-way external SLI Titan Z or just 2 Titan Z's in SLI.

No, he started a thread like this "correcting" Linus on his use of the terms you're asking about. Spawned a massive flamewar, believe it or not. Over SLI naming conventions no less.

Oh no, there was just an idiot somewhere who was insisting Quad Titan Z's meant having two Titan Z's in the same system
