I've seen TItan Z's popping up here and there for good prices, similar to Titan X's. I was considering it but the triple height nature of the card puts me off a bit. Saving the cash is great, but it seems to me that it's worth spending a bit more and getting two 980tis for example.

What do you guys think? I'm looking at getting one of the Netstor GPU boxes to put these in.

Zs will score from 150 to 220 depending on cooling (air or water) but dissipate much more heat. than 980ti (score 125-140) and draw much more power than 980ti.

There are still 780 6GB on the market for 240GBP... (score 80-105).
