It's a Quadro, but not by name apparently, so you pay almost as much as a Quadro but don't get support...? Not sure.

It's not a Quadro, again he spoke directly about gaming on the Titan before introducing Titan Z, he also said after the UE4 demo "this is why we had to make Titan Z".
It's aimed at gamers as much as anyone else, they prefer and want people to buy expensive versions of cards for any business application. Consumer cards are for home users, some people game at home, others write code, run simulations, do their own research. It's absolutely aimed at games as he's said so at least twice in this presentation and it's got consumer branding and has no professional support.
THe price is ridiculous. It's 2x Titans at 3x Titan cost, and Titan was massively overpriced to begin with.
I was going to post in the other ray tracing thread. With Apple seemingly creating their own GPU, which may or may not be ready for their next gpu, that is a huge market leader that PowerVR loses and a market that the ray tracing part of the chip is not likely to be part of in the future. If it's not supported then game dev's have very little reason to target it.

Why is the scaling off on all of the pictures they are showing? The car is switching between really dodgy squished perspective. Same with the inside building shot, it was squished compared to the actual picture next to it?

Aside from the people saying otherwise, everything Jensen has said specifically was that Titan is a consumer product.
He said Titan was for gaming, and said after the UE demo "this is why we had to make Titan Z", how could he more clearly have linked it to being for gamers/consumers.

Apple are not moving away from PowerVR they are just working on a custom chip in the same way as they do with ARM CPU’s.
The PowerVR ray tracing chip is already in the same market as Iray. Apple have nothing to do with that. It must be so embarrassing for NVidia to need £50,000 + worth of supercomputers to do what PowerVR can do in 1 or 2 cheap desktop chips. iray really is slow. PowerVR already have all the app dev support they need.

I know DM is always trying to paint Nvidia negatively, but they did say it was an alternative development card that exceed their market expectation. It can run games yes but it's primarily for development. Nvidia have the market tiers from top to bottom. For gaming all you need is a GTX 750ti / 760 / 770 / 780 / GTX 780Ti. Nobody is saying you need to buy a Titan Z for gaming, but if you want to you can..

Yup, of the cards OCUK have sold and the guys running Titans, the massive majority aren't being used for gaming..... sure.
Likewise you're not trying to paint the insane price positively, I'm being negative.... and Jensen didn't talk primarily about Titan for gaming before introducing Titan Z, before showing a game demo, before saying that is why they made Titan Z.

Don't bother mate...On Titan the message never hits the telegraph pole...Much like all the GAME benchmarks dominated by Titans...but its not a gamers card.
It is an amazing Card no doubt, but it is clearly aimed at gamers as well as Pro's
FROM NVIDIA's BLOG
"So if you want to build the ultimate ultra-high definition gaming rig that can harness the power of quad GPUs working in tandem, TITAN Z is the perfect graphics card. - See more at: http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2014/03/25/titan-z/#sthash.J1mqBvbF.dpuf"
Not a gamers card LOL

I don't care either way about Titan Z. They could price it at a million pounds.
I want Maxwell gaming GPU's !!
