TitanZ: delayed indefinitely?

[drunkenmaster]

God awful cooler that any Tom Dick and Harry could fit. Who wants a 120mm radiator on a dual GPU card? Do you run your cards on air DM? (I've asked you this multiple times but your own specification remains a complete mystery to the internet)

AMD can 'Red Mod'. Woopty doo. Frankly ridiculous to think of it as anything other than brilliant.


Do me a favour ^_^. Be honest here.

Once again you're complaining that it's a god awful cooler because anyone could fit it.

A god awful cooler... cools badly, a great cooler that cools brilliantly can't be described as god awful unless you have an agenda.

Name another reference card that can cool 500W quietly... yeah, god awful cooler.

Who wants a 120mm rad on their dual gpu card... I don't know, someone who wants a quieter, cooler and faster card than a card without a 120mm rad? So the majority of people with any sense?

There are two options, 120mm rad with an AIO cooler, which cools 500W comfortably, quietly, and has decent overclocking headroom OR you can take it off and put on your own block and buy a nova 1080 and run it even cooler with even more overclocking capacity.

The other option is a 2.5-3 slot air cooler, louder fans, lower clock speed, higher temp OR you can take it off and put on your own block and buy a nova 1080....etc.

You're randomly trying to imply that no watercooler would want to run such a small rad, but it doesn't make a difference to people who will put their own watercooling.

It's a aircooler that would be vastly louder to provide the same cooling, or a 120mm AIO cooler that has allowed a 500W card to run cool and quiet.

It's a great card and a great cooler, is it the best cooling set up in the history of the universe, no, by that logic every card that doesn't come with a lifetime supply of LN2 and a good LN2 block is rubbish... but most people can see that is absurd.

AS for what my setup is, not that I've ever seen you ask, I can't work out what relevance it has there. If I watercool I can choose to use a great stock cooler or add my own. That doesn't change regardless of the stock cooler, for the 99% of people who buy graphics cards who don't remove the stock cooler, better stock cooler = better.

Lol frosty, the ref 290 cooler got ripped to bits in the community, AMD gets applauded for their aio cooling solution enabling increased full fat performance out the box at fantastic temps/noise and at the same time Nvidia's reduced spec dual gpu solution is where????????????????.

 

[Gregster]

You carry on

Gah Gah Gah

Titan-Z is trash, you seem to be mistaking me for someone who's taking sides. Funny that.

I stand by what I've said . The performance of the 295x isn't the issue but I don't see how 'red modding' practically - a 1,000+ GPU is acceptable at manufacture however if someone in the community put a 120mm radiator on a dual gpu PCB, they'd be mocked.

It's just as acceptable as it was with the ASUS ARES HD7990 which used the same setup (with a thicker lower FPI rad).

I don't recall anyone ever being mocked for putting this cooling setup on a dual GPU card, in fact when I remember people saying about it with the HD7990/GTX690 feedback was usually quite good (during the HD7990 fire sale you could buy one and an AIO cooler for less than the ARES lmao).

Good riddance. Overpriced, inferior card

Saved some numpties $3000

Nope, your making assumptions now, the reference to TitanZ is simply-where is it?

AMD cooled theirs properly, Nvidia looks to have ****** something up, likely to do with thermals due to the lower base boost.

Your mocking a working cooler versus a possible design fail, it's a direct comparison, not an AMD v Nvidia side taking contest.

Your forgetting that this card isn't aimed specifically at modders, the hardcore will get 2 or 4X 290X's and WC them themselves and volt the nuts off them.

It's an all round design, designed in mind for those with deep pockets to throw straight into SFF PC's, e-tailers builds or shudder the thought, the end user may even rip the cooler off and do as they will.

But it's a safe bet that some 295's will see out their time with the cooler left intact as it's capable-that's the bottom line.

Dont understand how anyone can mock the cooling design. Its clear as day that it works and works superb.
The price is abit out my league though.

It's probably the best ever dual card to hit the market as a reference design. Sure the price is pretty bad but as an overall dual card i can't think of one that's better. It's actually faster than the stock cooled 290x's in cf which if i am correct makes it the only ever reference dual card to achieve this. It also does this being cooler, quieter and less power. Funny thing is if it was air cooled and slower the usual crowd would be in slating it for being hot, loud and under performing but on the plus side you can spend a fortune water cooling it. Maybe they should ask Nvidia off the record what they think of the overall results.

Would be interesting to see if OCUK had a play around with the card

Hi there

Definetely is not cancelled, let images do the talking:-

We won't be testing as they simply cost way too much to play with.

 

[LtMatt]

Lol, nice. When do they go on Sale Gibbo?

No idea......
Awaiting instructions from Team Green, as I am ready whenever they are.

 

[PhysicsMan94]

Does one get a free squishy burger and OcUK mug with a Titan Z? If so put me down for 2

If the rumoured prices are accurate id expect nothing less than it to come with a voucher for a free 2 hours with the pornstar of my choice.

I think if that was the case, they'd be our best selling product yet.

Think you may have bought too early

Just curious...if all the silent from Nvidia is because they are working hard to somehow someway come up with a bios update that would make the Titan Z look less poor, what is OcUK going to do with the cards they already have at hands? Open the sealed box (of a $3,000 card) and update the bios, or sending it back to Nvidia/supplier for replacement with new version?
