After rumors of its demise through indefinite delays, Nvidia has finally launched its massive GTX Titan Z card which it first introduced earlier this year at the GPU Technology Conference.
The Titan Z has 5,760 CUDA cores, 480 texture units, 96 render outputs, and 12GB of memory. Nvidia says the card can push out eight TFLOPS performance. Nvidia says the Titan Z can handle *“even the most insane multi-monitor displays and 4K hyper PC machines.”
But here’s Nvidia’s grand problem: there’s no reason to buy the Titan Z. AMD’s dual-core R9 295X2, which costs half as much at $1,500, often eclipses the GTX Titan Z in benchmarks. For many, a more economical option than the GTX Titan Z would simply be a dual-card SLI configuration of the GeForce 780 Ti. Nvidia didn’t seed the card for benchmarking prior to its release, so it’s not known if the card has undergone any kind of tweaking or re-engineering.
For the few that actually want to buy the card, it’s available as of today from a variety of etailers.
