Review: Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan-Z
Join us as we exclusively review that untamed beast, the GeForce GTX Titan-Z. A dual-GPU graphics card that created a lot of controversy, we'll go in-depth once again to see whether or not this 2850 EUR product even has a chance to compete with the 1300 EUR AMD Radeon R9 295x2. We test the product with the hottest games like Thief, Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4 and many more. We'll look at Ultra HD gaming, thermal imaging and heat response, we'll overclock it, we'll fire off FCAT at it. In short, you are in for a 30 page treat today.

Overclock performance results are nice but still not worth the price from a gaming point of view.

indeed, it's a niche card for the rich lets face it.
it's for the young lads in Cali whose parents don't give a damn.

Damn dat backplate in the thermal image, looks more like a cooking plate
Anyways, it seems the performance is there compared to the 295x2, but the Price is completely off...
I'm not even sure why they pushed the release of this Card, it's only going to hurt them. Perhaps not financially, but their image does.

"Overpriced" meaning can't cover even 1% of what this card is... I could be Bill Gates and still not get this, 2xTitan Blacks > this, performance and cost but still even then it's immensly overpiced. Even the 295x is overpriced, it's just insane really. I can only hope that things will change with the new generation of cards but I doubt it.

.., it's just insane really. I can only hope that things will change with the new generation of cards but I doubt it.
the 880 will be £500(550euros), the hell cares.
great review of course don't get me wrong.

Yeah it's just genuinely hard to take this card seriously. It did take a better OC than I expected, still can't save it from it's own enormous shadow.

3000 USD?
Yes Nvidia, I can afford it, it's just plain STUPID to buy this thing.

Thank you for this review.
I can't imagine any gamer buying this card.
While it seems that this card is aimed at workstations, the price is still absurd. For this, you can get 2x Titan Black, water kit to cool them, and still leave with some $$$ left.

Cheers for the review, the Radeon flagship card FTW then!
Just one point about your reviews you pretty much always say in your overclocking section, regardless of how much of an overclock you get on your graphics cards that: "Overall we have been able to get another 5 to 10% performance out of those graphics cards." You seem to copy & paste this from each graphics card review - it's a little annoying & sloppy as with your overclock on this card you actually managed to achieve a 9-20% performance improvement with your overclock. Can you at least calculate & report accurate percentages in future, it's the most important number when considering an overclock in terms of performance, and for you to simply cut and paste "Overall we have been able to get another 5 to 10% performance out of those graphics cards" in each of your graphics card reviews is incorrect & sloppy. Apart from this I think your reviews are great.

"Overall we have been able to get another 5 to 10% performance out of those graphics cards" refers to all the cards in the table as a group, not specifically the card being reviewed

Wow... Titan Z is pathetic. In every test it failed to beat GTX780ti 2-way SLI and that setup only costs a 3rd of the price.

I disagree. Firstly they'd have to revise that to "5-20%" for that to even make sense, but I'm quite certain they're not referring to all the the graphics cards in the table. That wouldn't make sense, it's a review of the Titan Z, they're only talking about overclocking the Titan Z, and the only overclocked result in that table is the Titan Z, ergo they're referring to the Titan Z! I believe they said 'graphics cards' (plural) because Titan Z is a dual GPU board, hence plural, more than one GPU. I still think they should report % overclock more accurately rather than just seemingly cutting & pasting the same "5-10%" from one article to the next.

It amaze me how majority of you still buy and defend Nvidia unbelievable.
AMD is the way to be used for games, gamers should embrace them instead of this money grabbing bastards.
2x AMD 290x for 900 euros these are gamer friendly prices.
Don't be a thief of your own wallet

Card is fine, it just suffers from poor pricing and average cooler.
