Nvidia is finally ready to release the GeForce GTX Titan Z

[Lionvibez]

Titanium PC cases that have turrents on as no one would spend $3000 and not lock that thing away like a trillin dollars... Someone breaks into your house and your graphics card alone is worth $3000 chances are your full PC is worth well over $5k...

Thieves would love people buying this card break into a house steal 1 thing a tiny graphics card its like finding a diamond or a brick of gold.

You assuming the criminal is tech savy and knows the difference between a $1500 best buy machine and a gaming machine with a 3k videocard.

Secondly time is not on your side while doing a break and enter unless you have checked out the house in advance and know when the residents will return.

Its basically get in grab what you can that looks of value which will be jewelry, tv , stereo equipment before you even get to the computer then get out ASAP.

And lets be realistic, yes demand will be high but not with gamers!

GeForce cards not for gamers? That's news to me.

The way I see it; even though the Titan and Titan Z are and have been marketed as gaming cards, that is not where their market is. Ask @dividebyzero where the market for these cards market are at.

Anandtech:
NVIDIA’s compute group is pushing GTX Titan Z as the ultimate compute card at the same time as their gaming group is pushing it as the ultimate gaming card, and like NVIDIA’s other Titan cards this product will be serving two masters.

With a massive 5760 cores and 12 GB of 7 Gbps GDDR5 memory, TITAN Z gives you truly amazing performance—easily making it the fastest graphics card we’ve ever made.

And if they didn't market it that way, they couldn't hold the fastest title. Just because they market a card to be the fastest gaming card, doesn't mean that is where their market will come from. nVidia wants to hold the title, because it gives them a crown as they sell lesser cards.

Those who need or want these cards know who they are. nVidia has little need in marketing a card for those who already know they desire the card. What difference does it make whether we agree with them, as long as we can find a price point we are happy with?

If they're smart they'd sell the card straight away. Diamonds and Gold are investments, a graphics card's worth falls faster than Lindsay Lohan's career.

Pretty much. Nvidia's marketing and product development arm have shown time and time again, that their knowledge of the industry is significantly greater than that of many forum posters. When the original Titan launched, there was a general outcry saying the card would be a flop because of its pricing. The card went on to be a very successful seller for the company.
Titan Z's target market is very small, made smaller by AMD's 295X2, but all dual cards are manufactured in miniscule quantity. If nothing else, it will likely be refreshed with GK210 (which is taping out now) before any single-GPU GeForce variant. If the same design rules shown with the GM107 are applied, then the Titan Z's present guise will be short lived indeed.

Maybe you didn't read the rest where I said the average gamer does not spend $3000 on a videocard regardless if it says Geforce on the logo.

That's common knowledge. It doesn't need to be said, which is why I didn't bother with that mess.

So then why did you quoting the last sentence?

And what is your point?

Usually paying top dollar for material goods will help you get laid, I.e. Ferrari, Armani suit. This will not.

You are wrong I have 2 Ferrari's and never got laid now that that I got this card Friday and scored on Saturday

No option for VGA?

I can think of only one legitimate reason for purchasing this care over the similar tiered offering from AMD: a small company or researcher needs the CUDA cores for their simulation and calculation work.

I play with rocket motor simulations inside of MatLab, and with the parallel processes toolbox and a little C#/C++ magic, I can leverage all of CUDA cores of my 760. Still some simulations can take hours or days. I would imagine with a card like this, I could significantly cut the time to completion for most of my simulation work.

This is a GeForce card that will get GeForce (gaming) drivers. This is not a Quadro replacement even with full DP. Supply for these will be low, but demand will be high. Hence the price.

How many gamers do you know that will drop 3k on a videocard I don't know any.

In a year and a half from now there will most likely be a single High end GPU that will be faster than the 3k card.

And lets be realistic, yes demand will be high but not with gamers!

I paid 2800.00 and change for 2 x 512 meg BFG tech 6800 ultra, back in the day .for 2560 x 1600 gaming, this will be for 4k gaming for sure and it will sell out.because we can ,,

So you would buy this at 3k over say a 295x2 which is faster by the way for gaming at $1500 ?? because you can?

Er, I don't know much about add-in video cards. How does this stack up against Intel's latest IGP platforms?

You can play your human anatomical motion art at 12k with no stuttering. You can't fantasize that kind of poon on any IGP!

Ah, you're still thinking inside the box. You couple this graphics power with an IPS panel in the shape of a brown paper bag and viola, every date is the perfect date. Angelina Jolie? Been there, done that. You get the idea.....
