Titan Z Has Been Cancelled

[Ghosthud1]

Like nvidia would give up on a potential $3000 card, you silly people.

The E-Zone sample has the same clocks we saw in ASUS press release. The base clock of 706 MHz and boost clock of 876 MHz. However, it does not really matter. These numbers have nothing to do with the clocks you would be getting in real-world scenario. In fact the clock speeds ramp up to 1058 MHz! And regardless how crazy it may sound, it was partially the reason why it was delayed. If the card boost more than 300 MHz and yet offers worse or similar performance than Radeon R9 295X2, then NV has a serious problem (well it’s not something you expect from $3000 graphics card).

Driver issues we were told about, are not only related to the noise, temperature or any hardware malfunction that would cause the delay. The real issue is performance, TITAN Z is simply not fast enough to beat the Radeon R9 295X2

Interesting......

Interesting......

Not sure if that review is 100% legit, but it is along the lines of where performance of the card should be.

I want to see temps, noise and compute benchmarks vs the 295x2 to see exactly how much the extra $1500 doesn't get you

If Titan Z is canceled that is expected end of one greedy greedy robbery of customers for GK110. No doubt GK110 is best their chip with GF110 but they could launch immediately full card as premium class and little less CUDA as mid range and to win over AMD. Now good part of NVIDIA customers who payed premium price for GTX780 stay with 10-15% weaker card than 200$ cheaper AMD R9-290X. With less video memory and even Radeon will soon have R9-290 8GB with possibility to unlock in R9-290X. No doubt GTX780Ti is best choice but many people no money to pay twice.
It's only bad because miners R9-290X become much expensive than launched price.
I only want to say, they must to offer at least 30% stronger card to ask 3000$.
I mean and 30% is far less but let's say 25-30% stronger card and customers will pay 3000$.
What they have not worth 2100$.

Sapphire released an 8GB 290X already but they are limited edition only.

Once they are gone there will be no more 8GB 290X's.
