14 DAY TRIAL // It looks like our worst fears are being realized: the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Z dual-GPU graphics card is not better than the AMD Radeon R9 295 X2, despite having twice the price ($3,000 / €3,000 vs. $1,500 / €1,500).
It's possible that NVIDIA continues to delay the board because it's working on a last-minute driver that can add some extra speed.
For now, though, that price doesn't seem justified at all, even with the 12 GB of GDDR5 VRAM (AMD's board has only 8 GB).
According to a Chinese review spread on the net by LinusTechTips Community, the R9 295 X2 actually gains the upper hand in some instances. Again, this might only be driver related, but it's still a bit worrisome.
Especially since the tests where the GTX Titan Z does win, the lead isn't that huge despite the VRAM difference we have mentioned before.
At least there is one good spot in all this: the TDP really is of 375W, 60W less than the same PC running a Radeon R9 295 X2 and 33W less than two GeForce GTX 780 Ti.
And since the GTX Titan Z is basically a dual-GTX 780 Ti crammed into a single board, that's a nice point in its favor, even if the price kind of offsets it, and then some.
