GTC 2014: Nvidia announces Titan Z graphics card

With 5760 CUDA cores, 12GB RAM and US $2999 price tag

During its GTC 2014 keynote, Nvidia's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang announced the successor of the GTX Titan, the new Titan Z.


Although there was no specific details on which GPU the new Titan Z is actually based on, judging from the specifications which include 5760 CUDA Cores and 12GB of RAM, the Titan Z is basically two, fully enabled GK110 GPUs paired together on a single PCB. During its keynote, Jen-Hsun described it as a "supercomputer in a PCI-Express form-factor". According to the specifications revealed during the keynote, the GTX Titan Z will provide 8 TeraFLOPS of computing power.

The new Titan Z was announced via a rather cool video which shows two GTX Titan graphics cards joining together in a Transformers-like manner ending up with a cooler that looks a lot like the one we have see on the GTX 690. It has a singe central placed fan which cools both GPUs placed below massive heatsinks.

Pairing two GK110 GPUs on a single PCB comes at a rather steep price so Nvidia will be offering the new Titan Z for US $2999.
