Titan Z Has Been Cancelled



A shame for those out there that were hoping to get their hands on the card though.



I was hoping TTL was going to be doing a review

A week ago it was reported that Nvidia Corp. and its partners would finally release its new dual-chip flagship graphics cards – GeForce GTX Titan Z – on the 8th of May. As it appears, no store in the world started to sell the most expensive consumer graphics board ever on Thursday and a rumour has it that the product has been postponed again.

Nvidia originally announced the GeForce GTX Titan Z at its annual GPU Technology Conference back in March. The product – powered by two extremely powerful GK110 graphics processing units, arguably the highest-performing GPUs ever made along with 12GB of GDDR5 memory – was supposed to be a masterpiece from performance, engineering and feature-set points of view. It was also priced at whopping $3000 (£2330, €2835) without taxes, which would have made it a pride for the owners and a desire for all others.

But something went wrong. Over one and a half months after the formal announcement, the GeForce GTX Titan Z is still not available even from boutique PC makers.

Originally it was rumoured that the GeForce GTX Titan Z was to be released on the 29th of April, 2014. After the graphics board did not show up on that date, numerous web-sites reported that the launch was postponed to the 8th of May. Still, today, the dual-GPU made no show too. Moreover, there is no even unofficial information about a new launch date. ComputerBase.de web-site reports that the launch date was “ shifted indefinitely ”.



The reasons for the delay are unknown, but some believe that Nvidia wants to reconsider specifications of the product. When originally unveiled, the GeForce GTX Titan Z was supposed to be the highest-performing graphics card on the market with 8TFLOPS maximum single-precision compute performance, which should justify its incredible price of $3000 (£2330, €2835). However, since then Advanced Micro Devices rolled-out its Radeon R9 295X2 powered by two Hawaii XT GPUs that costs twice less and delivers nearly 11.5TFLOPS of compute performance. Given such a rival, Nvidia reportedly took additional time to tweak clock-rates of GPU and memory as well as to polish its drivers.

Nvidia did not comment on the news-story. I actually sort of saw this coming, Literally twice as expensive as the competition and a lot slower.A shame for those out there that were hoping to get their hands on the card though.I was hoping TTL was going to be doing a review



=AMD Ryzen 9 - 3950X + PBO - XFX 5700XT Thicc III Ultra @ 2100/1800= If you think about it, VR is free unreal estate.....
