Its one thing when card was released it was current card, its another thing when the card was released its previous gen and pretty much EOL'ed at that point. But in reality a 290x is still being made now as its just been renamed as the 390x.

How offen do you see Nvidia comparing their card to AMD cards? I can't remember any time recently that they have done that. Its always been vs their last gen card. Its always reviews that do the comparing as it should be.
This is AMD we're talking about, but of course be verrrry quiet. We might upset the AMD trolls skirmishing about.

Good news for AMD, but after my quick foray into the dual GPU camp, never again unless something major changes. Even when drivers and games play nice, there always seems to be little niggles with it.

So why then 2X 670 in your profile? You mean no AMD'S then?

This is my first and last dual GPU setup unless something major changes with the technology. Doubt AMD would be much better, if at all, than an Nvidia setup in this area.

Titan Z isn't nVidia's top end card. It is a generation old dual-GPU card. Basically two 780Ti's.(it was also incredibly stupid and pointless for the consumer)

The Titan X is nVidia's top end card and the 980Ti is the same card with half the memory.

Titan Z is the nVidia's latest dual GPU card, which you can still buy on amazon, for as low as 2.5k Euro:

PS
Oh, release MSRP was 2999$, it's quite cheap now too...

It's wrong to say 'latest'. It has connotations of most recent, which in turn implies a recent product. More appropriately, the Titan Z was Nvidia's last dual card. It doesn't matter it can still be bought on Amazon as that is a marketplace. I can still probably buy an Amiga from Amazon.

As for the price, yeah, still ludicrous.

Recently bought an NES off Amazon, so too true.

Latest dual-GPU card or not, it is still from the last generation and still discontinued.

I mean no one is gonna buy a titan Z, they would just buy a pair of 980ti's, cheaper and faster and given AMD's history of performance claims probably faster then that fury pro.

Yeah, I admit, referring to last gen when talking about performance is indeed somewhat misleading.
However it's spot on in pricing context.

With 1500$ being merely a half of Titan Z price (which was what, 3 times single core Titan price?), dual Fury is a steal, isn't it?
I mean 2 Nanos alone are 1000$, plus custom cooling solution, say, 150$, so, mere 350$ premium asked by "evil and greedy" AMD, unlike "generous" 3000$ offer by NVidia.

PS
Yeah, yeah, IF Fiji

F**k ifs:

Its 51% after vs a card that is Old Kepler based chip. So pretty much GTX 780TI's in SLI is what they compared to. That does leave up to question what settings they used during the test's.

With 1500$ being merely a half of Titan Z price (which was what, 3 times single core Titan price?), dual Fury is a steal, isn't it?

Or could buy pay of 980ti's for ~1300$

CFX Cards and Dual GPU Settups are only good for the games that have the optimization and the profiles to do it.
I remember getting 60 fps on my old CFX HD6770 setup on Battlefield 3 with ultra detailes, but no effects.
Same settings on Witcher 3 and 5 fps at best XD.
Battlefield 4 got 45 fps tops with same settings.
All running FHD (1920:1080).
The 6770s i used were 1GB VRAM so they were kinda crippled from it.

My point here is if other games have the same optimization as FrostBite engine for CFX, older 6xxx and 7xxx HD series would still be used as they are now cheeper but still can hold their own.
Same story goes for SLI as well.

But, here is where i think it gets not profitable for AMD and NVIDIA.
Getting good CFX and SLI support will kill their profits since no one would buy their newest cards when people can get same if not better performance with old gen 2, 3 or even 4-way CFX or SLI.
