TitanZ: delayed indefinitely?

[James J]

According to kitguru, the titanZ won't be making an appearance at all

I'm not surprised if its true, as the price of the card was just daft. It was hard enough justifying the price of the titan cards, but the dual solution of the titan blacks is just a step too far in my opinion. I'm sure that opinion is shared my the vast majority of people on this forum also, so this card won't be mourned if the news is true by either sides of the GPU camp.

Nah, titan black is a 780 ti card with twice as much RAM and double precision compute shaders settings.

The titanZ was two downclocked titan black cards on the same pcb, yet the original article that kitguru linked infers that the 295x2 being VASTLY cheaper and offering better performance, has forced nvidia back to the drawing board.

I welcome this if the latter is indeed correct, as it'll give consumers far better value for money in the long run.

AMD / Nvidia are getting a bit boring going on and on with 28nm.

it will be 3 years of this before this year is out.

I agree with that. 20 or 16nm really needs to show its head at some point in the very near future as the gpu market feels stale at the moment.

There isn't a single person on this forum, regardless of how fanboy, who could justify the pricetag on this card. Wouldn't even matter if it was 20% faster than a 295x2 (which it isnt) as its price is just daft. Really confusing product if I'm honest and I own over a grands worth of Nvidia hardware in the PC i'm typing this on.
