So nVidia wants to make a sequal to Titan Card called Titan Card Z.
Will have have Super Titan Cards 1 - 3?

I wouldn't say those results are out of the realm of possibility. The biggest thing holding back the r9 290x was heat generation, as it got so hot it would never run at full speed throughout the entire benchmark. But slapping a watercooler on it could very well push the dual gpu version to the top.
And both are good 50% overpriced... Nothing much unexpected.
Honestly the 295x doesnt seem all that overpriced. Onboard 290x two of them full speed and none of issues with standard 290x. Its a great card for the fans ... I think people with multiple 290's would be wishing they had waited for this.
This dual titan is joke for gamers but im sure there will be some hardcore NV boys saying the cooler design is mindblowing and the card is epic and the engineering is iconic and the specs are legendary so they dont mind paying extra for a premium product.
Nv happy to milk the stupidity cant blame them. If they couldnt they would have bothered making a gaming only version of this.

Its not nice but I do like how nvidia are losing their halo over being a superior brand. They arent losing because of tech or anything .... its just that 1000$ 3000$ cards cant be winning you many friends. Also cause I think ATI drivers have been leaps and bounds better in the last 2 years than it has been before that still behind Nvidia in terms of quality driver support but the gap is minuscule compared to what it used to be.
OT- Do you think ATI can repeat this gen again match nvidia 880gtx 650$ card with a 450-500$ offering ? I so so hope so.
Edit- Also to be fair to nvidia maybe they dont want to disable perfectly great workstation chips ...... cant sell them at 600-700 it would hurt their lower range quadro cards. I think they are in a quandry .... its easy to name call and say they are greedy etc etc but maybe the nature of the chips design and its DP performance and stuff makes it impossible for them to sell it cheaper.
Or Titan sales .... it was unprecedented ..... it made no sense was a waste of cash but the marketing ...their advantage at the time and their Halo image it turned out perfectly for them or so is the public perception we dont really know if Titan really ended up making fat profits for Nvidia. ( in india they were retailing at 1500$ I know of more than a few cases where people got themselves 2.)
This Titan Z dualie seems like a repeat of that exercise but I think they are gonna find out there isnt a market for 2k 3k cards.

Lol, I predicted alot more than that.
I predicted the price, the watercooling, performance vs Nvidia and the power consumption.
Looking at techpowerups review, it does beat ares for power usage.

I also knew VRM temps were going to be potentially high.

Both AMD and Nvidia know those cards won't sell in significant numbers, they are just marketing tools to sell more of the affordable cards.
Cause we can't have a thread without a bad car analogy, they look good as a poster in Engineering Pr0n monthly just like the poster of some random super car some guy had on his bedroom wall as a kid only to then end up buying some cheap korean deathtrap.
indeed.
everyone seems to forget that this is an entry level compute card more than gaming card. but it is a super high end gaming card. everyone realizes its "overpriced" in bag for buck, as almost ALL dual gpu cards have been, ever. this one is just a little more so as it is a bridge between tesla cards and geforce cards, if they made it cheap everyone would just buy lots of titanz cards instead of tesla cards and they would loose money in the end. at least this way gamers with the money can buy the top notch bleeding edge tech at half the price of buying the tesla card.

For a card supposedly launching in April things sure are quiet ...
Have you driven a Ford, lately ??
Hmm @ Lanek if they manage to do 780x2 in 999$ lots of takers. Would kinda complete their lineup with a good 1000$ offering. I think you are right its just a matter of time prolly just need to tweak titanz design a little and slap a pair of 780's in there.

Professional users packing systems with devices like this to maximize compute capacity should already be running sufficiently large chassis to house as many cards as a given platform can address. I'm referring to situations where systems with 3 or 4 cards are getting double the compute horsepower with cards like this when compared to titans.
