Nvidia's newest graphics card is not for everyone. In fact, it will cost $3000. But, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang would argue that it's a terrific deal, given that it's about 50 cents per processor.

The GeForce GTX Titan Z includes two Kepler GPUs, totaling 5,760 processing cores, and 12GB of dedicated frame buffer memory. According to Nvidia, it's "engineered for next-generation 5K and multi-monitor gaming." It may be a bit of overkill for everyday use.

"If you're in desperate need of a supercomputer that you need to fit under your desk, we have just the card for you," Jen-Hsun said during the announcement.

      Jesus $6K... I wonder how that would add to your power bill. It'd certainly warm up your house in the winter.

        With water cooling and i7(6 core(12 logical)) and two Titans I literally do use my computer as a heater, just go play a intense game or have a benchmark running while eating dinner will do the job.

    Or at least a date when they will. If I knew that I could buy an evga 770 now, and then within 90 days use the step up program get an 870 I would totally jump on it.

        I still rock a 460 but really should move up to a 770. The difference would have to be quite marked.

    I think in the video it said a system with a titan Z would use 2k watts.
    
    It's about time they made a card for the hedge fund managers.

      That's 2k watts for 3 of them. So probably around 650kwatt for one.

        maybe 500w given that the 2k is not only for the 3 cards but also the overheads from the rest of the computer.
