Today during Nvidia's annual GPU Technology Conference, the company announced the GeForce GTX Titan Z, a new graphics card that promises to deliver "supercomputer-inspired performance." The card will sell for $3000.

The GeForce GTX Titan Z is built around two Kepler GPUs and 12GB of dedicated frame buffer memory. It features two GK110 chips, and is powered by a total of 5,760 processing cores, or 2,880 cores per GPU. It has also been engineered for 5K and multi-monitor gaming.

"If you're in desperate need of a supercomputer that you need to fit under your desk, we have just the card for you," Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said (via the Nvidia blog).

Nvidia says its Titan Z GPU is different than other dual-GPU cards because its GPUs are tuned to run at the same clock speed, and feature "dynamic power balancing." This means, according to Nvidia, that neither GPU will face a performance bottleneck.

"And that performance is delivered in a card that is cool and quiet, rather than hot and loud. Low-profile components and ducted baseplate channels minimize turbulence and improves acoustic quality," Nvidia said.

If that doesn't make you moist then I do not know what will
 
The whole Titan line is such a bad investment. This will be outclassed next year by a single GPU at 1/6th of the price. And it is still using the dated Kepler chip, Maxwell anybody?
 
The word overkill doesn't quite describe it.....WHO the hell needs that kind of power...certainly not even hardcore PC gamers. Hell I have a gtx 780 3gb in my rig and that is enough.
s***....$3000!???
Who spends that much just on a GPU?
 
Wow. NVIDIA's pricing model is officially worse than Intel's. The End of Days is upon us.
 
With that much money I could buy 4 PC's that would game just fine and still go get some alcohol for the night.

Think you got your parties muddled up. Maxwell, LOLZ. I think you mean, Pascal. still roughly 2 years out.

You seem to miss the point. This isn't for your average gamers to go buy. I do love it when hardware companies do this. Make something far beyond what is needed. I bet it sells out ;)

Or 2 lines of Columbian pure and a cheap hooker.

Just preorderd mine earlier today after selling my truck as a down payment.

I think you may end up disappointment. The biggest thing about maxwell is its power to performance. The Pascal though seems like where things will really change. NVlink, stacked memory..etc. We shall see though.
 
The price of this thing doesn't make much sense. All it is, is 2 Titan Black cards slapped together on one PCB. 2 Titan Black cards cost 2,000 dollars, since when does having them on 1 PCB warrant a 1000 dollar premium?

GTX 680 was about 500 bucks when it came out, and GTX 690 was 1000 dollars. Makes sense. Titan Z however, does not.

Well the point of Titans is not really as much for gaming as it is for DP compute ability. Yes the GK110 is a bit dated but it's dated ass beat AMD's NEWEST architecture by simply unleashing what it can do ala GTX 780 Ti. But this is really how it goes...

GTX 780 Ti = Some 4K and lower.
Multiple Titan Black's 4K and nvidia surround (need the 6GB of VRAM) CUDA work, DP compute work.
 
It being complete and utter overkill for my purposes does not stop me from wanting one, unfortunately.
 
He must have some quality time at the gym. Look at those biceps.
 
I'd buy it if i hit the lotto or something. Can't believe someone would actually save up 3 grand for a graphics card when they can just buy an Xbox One and PS4 for 1/3 the price and play better games.

Isn't Maxwell introducing Unified Virtual Memory or has that been scrapped and pushed to Volta err i mean Pascal.
