ASUS Announces the GeForce GTX Titan Z Dual GPU Graphics Card
ASUS today announced the GTX Titan Z, a brand new high performance graphics card with dual NVIDIA GeForce graphics processing units (GPUs) and GPU Tweak for real-time graphics tuning. Additional features like 12 GB GDDR5 memory and NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 provides users with the visual performance required for today's cutting-edge games.
Real-time graphics tuning for gamers
The high performance GTX Titan Z graphics card comes with GPU Tweak - an ASUS-exclusive interface that allows users to tune graphics parameters in real-time. This intuitive tool helps modify clock speeds and voltage levels, as well as cooling fan speeds to let gamers overclock the GTX Titan Z graphics card with confidence. The addition of an online streaming function lets users share their gaming action live with friends.
Dual GPUs and 12 GB onboard memory for multi-monitor configurations
The GTX Titan Z graphics card boasts two NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running at 876 MHz boost clock, 12 GB GDDR5 on-board memory, and a combined total of 5760 CUDA cores to give fast and smooth stutter-free visuals even when powering multi-monitor gaming rigs or 4K/UHD (ultra-high definition) monitors.
NVIDIA-boosted gaming performance
NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 provides users with an intelligent tool to actively monitor clock speed and ensure the GPU is constantly at peak performance to run games at their highest frame rates. GPU Boost 2.0 also offers new levels of customization, letting users set GPU temperature targets, overclocking, and unlocked voltages.
The GTX Titan Z is also NVIDIA G-Sync-ready to provide users with a fast and smooth gaming experience. NVIDIA G-Sync synchronizes display refresh rates to the NVIDIA GPUs to eliminate screen tearing and minimizes display stutter and input lag.

As predicted this will perform worse than two Titan Blacks whereas the 295x2 performs better than two 290x's.
That said... Now that the 290x has returned to sane pricing the 295x2 needs a drop. 1k-1.2k.
I see Nvidia wanting to get (dump) the initial run they've made onto the channel / market and then be done with this with as little fan-fare as possible. That means giving out as few as possible to a couple of sympathetic reviewers and sell the rest to hopefully cover a good portion of their costs.
Curb Stomped by a card half the price is the current story.
Would be lovely if Nvidia included it with every card.
Also from the Gigabyte PR......and from the Palit PR......and from the MSI PR...705MHzThere's no way on earth a 295X2 overclocks to 290X levels....safely.It will likely remain at its price. The point of the 295X2 is to top the benchmark scores at review sites. I don't think AMD and it's partners actually want to sell the card in volume at a lower price since the AIO adds significantly to the BoM. The Titan Z has even less rationale for being in the model lineup - but then, I'm no great fan of dual-GPU cards.
