News - Nvidia Titan Z reportedly delayed

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

Sure, but at £3k for 5760 cores for the TitanZ vs £4.5k for 2880 cores on the K40...

Your thinking too much like a home user......companies (especially ones that have a business use for CUDA) will not put "bang for buck" as a prominent necessity. They will almost certainly be installing them in servers, in racks.......and then thermals come into play, up time and support.

Im thinking about in between the two if im honest. Obviously big companies are going to be looking towards rack solutions, but inbetween those and home users you have companies like media post houses where having that amount of processing in a machine is actually good value.

doesn't matter - `good value` for a home video game card? they will buy quadro or firepro

Well its not your average home video card though really is it. Its essentially very similar to a Quaddro/Tesla
