It took longer than we originally thought, but it’s finally here. GeForce GTX TITAN Z has been officially released by NVIDIA.
GeForce GTX TITAN is a dual-GPU graphics card based on GK110 architecture. It has 5760 CUDA cores, 480 Texture Mapping Units and 96 Raster Operating Units. We have a total of 12 GB GDDR5 memory across 384-bit interface per GPU.
TITAN Z is clocked at 705/876 MHz, meaning there’s a 170 MHz difference between base and boost clock. Memory is running at 7 GHz, which results in a bandwidth of 672 GB/s.
According to NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z supports DirectX 12, however it’s just a feature set from 11.0.
Card is triple-slot with a single fan in the center. Card measures 4.38 x 10.5 inches, which is a standard size for all high-end GeForce models.
TITAN Z draws power through two 8-pin power connectors. Thermal Design Power has been measured at 375W, which is much less than Radeon R9 295X2 — 500W.
NVIDIA did not change its mind in terms of pricing. Company still asks $3000 for this computing monster.
