    It was expected to be available today – did something not stack up against its AMD rival?

    I'm with shaithis, order for several units now cancelled - guess I'll just have to make do with current GPU for my 1920x1080 res for time being ;-)

    Re: News - Nvidia Titan Z reportedly delayed

    The rumours about the non-showing Nvidia graphics card centre around its performance not being able to match the AMD Vesuvius in games, despite its costing around twice as much to buy.
    If this really was the case then AMD have missed a trick there, imagine if they had waited until the Titan Z was out and then slapped it with something faster, cheaper and cooler running. Then Nvidia wouldn't have been able to do the extra tweaking.

    I still don't see any reason for anyone to buy one, even with the latest tweaks.

    But surely the fact NV haven't released it means AMD have the upper hand?

    Re: News - Nvidia Titan Z reportedly delayed

    The back plate may be a triple slot but the cooler itself looks exactly the same size.
    Anyway what a pity they canceled it, like others have said my order will be canceled. I was so looking forward to sticking one or two in my new prodigy build coupled to my antiquated samsung 1680x1050 monitor !

    I really need to upgrade my Voodoo 3. I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.

    Re: News - Nvidia Titan Z reportedly delayed

    I got a chance to see the R9295X2 at DreamHack Bucharest; a beastly card. I can't afford it; I would buy one, I would buy 2 if I could actually and some 4k displays.
    Coming back to reality, I would not count Nvidia out yet, although coming up with something that's more powerful to justify the cost might be a bit difficult.
    Time will tell; I hope AMD's next gen videocard is not that hot; if they can do that, they might have a winner on their hands; they can argue all they want that 90 degrees is ok for a video card. Nvidia had the same issue with the 5xx series. That heat affects the rest of your system.

    Hardocp did a R9 295X2 QuadFire review.

    http://hardocp.com/article/2014/04/2...eo_card_review
    We reached out to NVIDIA's Senior PR Manager of Consumer Products Bryan Del Rizzo and asked:

    We are planning a R9 295X2 QuadFire review. Would NVIDIA like to have a contender in this review? If so, let me know what you might have.

    The reply we got back from Bryan Del Rizzo was:

    No Thanks.
    I'm not surprised. I'm also not surprised at this paper launch of the titan being just that, a no show. Sometimes actions speak louder than words... and no action is the most damming of all.

    Re: News - Nvidia Titan Z reportedly delayed

    Titan Z, like Titan, is geared more towards compute and workstation rather than gaming, so it wouldn't surprise me if it got beat in the graphics stakes.

    However they probably need to tweak it because if the gulf is too high it'd end up putting off the people who didn't even buy it for gaming

    Is anyone shocked? I mean, IIRC it was priced at $3000 versus the $1500 295X2. With the performance gap between them supposedly very low, then surely the delay's to do with the fact they've been horrendously outplayed?

    Re: News - Nvidia Titan Z reportedly delayed

    But are people looking at buying this really going to buy it for gaming? Surely its mostly the Double Point Precision and Cuda?

    If you were after CUDA, wouldn't you buy Tesla cards, presumably in a rack-mount server chassis?
