They're going in a dual cpu server to be used as a render slave (cheap iray cluster)

You can preorder through nvidia directly if you're a long standing cuda developer.

To be clear, third titan z will likely see low utilization everywhere but its cuda support, sli is out of the question unless running on only two of the three but they aren't going to be used for gaming, the rigs purely a slave for iray.

I had considered going the Iray VCA route but that's beyond my current needs.

Actually scratch that idea, CGI, hold off on buying a couple months, trust me, it'll be worth it.

Next family geforce tantalizingly close with nvlink support.

Yeah I know, the Maxwell news today bummed me out big time. In terms of features it doesnt sound too different from Kepler.

Pascal will be incredible though.

Chuck Norris uses this card to play solitare.

Yeah, its not an insanely long wait, we will be seeing hard specs in a few months. When you consider that console owners will be waiting that long for properlu impressive games let alone new hardware it doesn't seem so bad

Unless the power draw of your setups an issue or you want more space in your rig of course.

Regarding three card setup its possible with dual GPU cards on the current cuda 5 driver available through cues developers center, I am not absolutely 100% on if the titan z will immediately support it so I've inquired about it, if it is it'll be like the current situation of requiring a dual CPU server board to provide the bandwidth and control to handle it, as far as I'm aware regular gaming motherboards can't handle that many at once.

Its a on the fence situation for me, I've got the three titan blacks in one machine, three 780ti in another, and the k20x is on its own in the main server, the plan was to sell the k20x and replace it with the titan z's but the more I look in to it the less attractive it gets, power utilization is the biggest factor here as currently the servers on almost 6 full days a week running tasks.

I still have a pair of EVGA gtx580s on a shelf in the office too.

I have to admit I have quite the addiction to buying new tech, I'm the enter card details figure it out later kinda guy lol

Did Nvidia announce when nvlink is going to hit the market ? 

2016 fish but we should be hearing some specification and more details in Q2

Fun fact, I'm having this discussion on my phone while in rural japan driving, just picked up a dell XPS 710 to steam the case from and modify.

I hope it does toy story gfx for this price

It sounds like Nvidia is trying to compete against chipzilla ...
