NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Z 12GB Video Card Launched For Around $2999

NVIDIA has announced the immediate availability of GeForce GTX TITAN Z dual-GPU graphics card. The GeForce GTX TITAN Z is the fastest and most advanced graphics card ever made by NVIDIA. NVIDIA calls the design a technical masterpiece and that it was designed from top to bottom for record breaking performance.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z has 5,760 CUDA cores thanks to two GK110 Kepler GPUs being used on the single card. The cores will have a base clock of 705MHz and will boost up to 876MHz. This gives the GeForce GTX Titan Z a texture fill rate of 338 billion/sec! The cards 12 GB (12288MB) of GDDR5 memory run 7000MHz effective (7 Gbps), which is good for 672GB/s of memory bandwidth. Other highlights include a 12 phase power supply with dynamic power balancing and full speed double precision support. The GeForce GTX TITAN Z uses two of the GPUs found on the GeForce GTX TITAN Black, so it should easily be able to power 3840×2160 4K Ultra HD displays. The air cooled card also features a chromium-plate aluminum designed fan shroud and back plate, so it looks good to boot.

NVIDIA also stated that the double-precision computational power of a GTX TITAN Z-accelerated system now eclipses that of multi-million dollar supercomputers, while using a fraction of the power, and a fraction of the space. This really isn’t a gaming feature though as double-precision is aimed at researchers, scientists and other CUDA developers. How much will all this cost? NVIDIA says that availability and partners will vary by region. Pricing is expected to start at $2,999.

Some system builders like OriginPC are already offering the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Z as a $3,251 upgrade to a single GeForce GTX 750 Ti. If you want two of them in your system you are looking at $6,677 for a Quad-SLI setup. We aren’t sure why they are charging an extra $175 for the second card because it really isn’t that hard to connect the SLI bridge and enable SLI Multi-GPU performance in the driver utility, but if someone is willing to pay for it why not?

A quick look over at MAINGEAR and they are offering one card for $3,350 on top of the cost of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti for one card and $6,900 for a pair of cards. MAINGEAR charges $200 extra to setup and configure the SLI setup, so it looks like ORIGIN PC has better pricing on the GeForce GTX Titan Z.
