Nvidia makes Titan Z dual-gpu card available after delay

After some delay, Nvidia has made its most expensive GeForce card available to date and the final details on the specifications are now also known. The $3,000 card features two GK110 GPUs with all cores enabled.

Nvidia announced the Titan Z in March, but then it went silent on the monster card, leading to rumors that Nvidia had decided to delay it in order to boost performance in an effort to improve its competitiveness. Two Titan Black cards in SLI or a single Radeon R9 295 X2 card would offer better performance at a significantly lower price.

The Titan Z finally appeared on Wednesday and MSI, Zotac, EVGA, Palit, Gainward and Gigabyte, among others, are announcing their versions of the card. The Titan Z is built around two GK110 Kepler GPUs with all the features enabled for a total of 5760 cores, 480 texture mapping units and 96 raster operating units. The 384 bit wide bus communicates with 12GB gddr5 memory.

The clock speed is 705MHz with boost clock up to 876MHz. The memory runs at 7GHz. The card occupies three slots and draws power from two 8-pin connectors. The TDP is 375W, which is considerably more than that of the Titan Black, but the performance-per-Watt ratio of the Titan Z is much better, even compared to the Radeon R9 295 X2, which has a TDP of 500W. has.
