Would it bring a little performance boost to change the Titan Z for one 980 Ti? :?
My Z has a clock rate from 750/820 MHz while rendering.
My two 980 Ti's have 1200 MHz.
Plus the middle card would have more space to breath...

Zs give around ~180 in terms of OctaneBench, but under pour airflow ~150..under water 220 =) 980Ti would give You ~120 on air, 150 under water..

so not sure where You would see increesed performance, unless..You put two 980Ti for single Z.. then for sure!

Today I am putting my hands into 2x Zs on water - they shall score 220 each but with OC to 1200mhz on core easily.

My opinion - I would prefer Zs overs 2xTis: less space, better chip (980 ti are crippled Xs chips that perform worse at 1500 than X at 1400), and on one mobo you may have 4 Zs, 8 gpus.

yeah, 4X Zs are hard to beat..- though I start looking to Octane Render to work on AMD cards: 7 of those on something like ASUS X99 WS motherboard - would be sick!

Oh yes!!!

What if I tell you I am designing my own case for.... 10 watercooled dual slotted GTX cards on supermicro mobo :)

sounds cool, but honestly..I'm somewhere between powerfull & compact enough - not sure whether bigger is better (You know what I mean =DDD So, I'd say - 7-8 slot spacing for me looks like a sweet spot - even with external radiator kit..rather than going mamooth like option (that will clearlly be not for everyOne).

However, as a niche experiment - why not!? =) I'd like to see it one day! =)
