GTC Info: "Titan-Z" $3,000 USD

[OCGuy]

Titan-Z is being marketed for compute/simulations. Looks to be 2x Titan. I'm sure Anand will post the slides at somepoint....


Who is getting out their wallet?


I would love to know how they are air cooling it on one PCB. That is some impressive engineering.

$3000 !? If it's just two Titan chips, dual 780 Ti's would perform better and quieter for less than half the price. I don't see this being worth it for gamers

He definitely wasn't pitching to gamers.

Its a full FP64 chip. No ECC or support though, so its targeted at small businesses and the "prosumer." Anyone buying this for gaming is missing the point of the card.

 

[ShintaiDK]

Im sure there will be some GTX790 version later. Titan is for computational work.

Bets on how many AdamK47 is getting?

Yep but everyone here will still argue and bitch about NV prices.

In for 2.

Edit 1: Gaming, of course.

Edit 2: @ 2560*1440.

1080P, too.

You're ninja edit is fast.

or they're just exorbitantly wealthy and want to have a SFF rig that puts the average tower to shame

If i had money for 2 Titan Blacks i would buy this card instead.

Dont get the hate for the price: It's like a premium card for a small market. Highly binned to deliver 8TFLOPs in under 300W without a water cooler...

Nvidia exec 1: so we launched titan at 1k and we sold it like hotcakes. How can we best it?
Nvidia exec 2: launch titan 2000 at of course 2000 usd
Nvidia exec 1: you're fired. Anyone got anything better
Exec 3: we launch a new titan. Titan z, because everyone loves it when you throw a z on something. Price - $3000, because my bonuses don't pay themselves.
Exec 1: great idea!

I'm betting this sells out on day 1.

But if you want it and you can afford it no one should stop you from getting it.

Because for the price you could get 3 Titan Blacks, not 2.

 

[sontin]

Everything above 2 cards is less optimise and introduces more headaches.

So buy 2 Titan Blacks and a cheeseburger.

can't fit 3 cards on mATX, can't fit 2 in ITX...

also isn't easy to fit more than 4 on regular ATX if you just want an insane compute workstation

not going to get very far trying to argue practicality with $1000 cards that less than 1% can leverage anyway

So basically the Titan Z is marketed for anyone who want to build a small workstation like the new mac pro except it cost more than the mac pro itself

 

[dangerman1337]

For the price of this you could get three Titan Blacks or for half the price you could probably get EVGA's 6GB 780 Tis.

Oh yeah that totally makes sense. Wait were you complaining about 7970/290x pricing?

Did they give TDP? The slides showed a comparison with 3xTitan-Z and it said ~2kW for the set. That'd put the Titan-Z at ~600W.

It isn't full FP64, the card is still 1/3 FP64 just like the Titan Back... Two Titan Blacks will still only cost 67% of the price of this card...

GF110 doesn't physically have more FP64 units. I'm sure he meant that it's a fully enabled chip rather then that it has the same FP32 and FP64 throughput.

 

[dn7309]

I just notice that this card is advertised as a 12GB, so is that 12GB usable or only 6GB like in SLI?

This is what I don't understand. Small businesses would easily see they could get two Titans for 33% less. Too much money/not enough space is more a corporate IT problem. Would be interesting to see what they learned constructing the card though (looking forward to it being applied to Maxwell).
