14 DAY TRIAL // NVIDIA's GeForce GTX Titan Z dual-GPU graphics card was supposed to debut yesterday (April 29, 2014), but this obviously didn't happen. Fortunately, we haven't been left hanging, not completely.
Not that NVIDIA released anything directly, or even officially. No, all we have to go on is a set of presentation slides leaked through Chinese retailers.
The slides give us the first performance numbers of the Titan Z, from the clocks of 705 MHz / 876 MHz (GPU Base/Boost) to the 672 GB/s of bandwidth (12 GB of 7 GHz GDDR5 VRAM).
The 170 MHz gap between the base and boost GPU states is pretty high, especially when you consider that there are two GPUs there.
The TDP is of 375W, no changes there, though the cooler can cope with 450W, so I imagine that overclockers will go wild as soon as possible.
The Titan Z is supposed to be 60% faster than Titan Black (single-GPU). Most popular games should run at 40 fps in 4K resolution on it, even the ones optimized for AMD Radeon board (AMD Gaming Evolved titles).
Mostly, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Z dual-GPU video board is intended for early adopters of 4K UHD monitors/TVs (3840 x 2160 pixels), and, of course, owners of multi-monitors setups. You know, the kind of people that won't turn up their nose at the Titan Z's own ludicrously high price of $3,000 / €3,000.
