It is SO choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up...

I could see a little higher price(for the prestige) but if its like the asus mars where  you get better performance from two 670s for less money, why the hell would you pay 1000 dollars more for less performance? I mean two titan blacks, 2000 +-, Titan z 2250-2500( for the hot factor and the "new best ever" ok, but 1000 dollars! Nope.

If you want two titan *Z* on the same board, then SLI, why the hell wouldn't you just buy the P9x79-e WS and buy 4 titan blacks from the early adopters, and SLI them all? Pretty Damn foolish to spend an extra 2 grand that 2 GPUs would cost?

If you are doing rendering/workload, it would be saving tons of money that you could spend on ANOTHER 4960x to help distribute the load on four x16 PCI-e lanes...

Yes, it is choice prove you have unlimited credit or cash... A silly choice, but still choice.

If it is a workstation, looks aren't the most important thing. If looks are the most important thing, it is probably for show, sale, or gaming.

Two Lexus would never be as good as one Ferrari, as you can't SLI two Lexus anyway...

ASUS P9x79-E WS is like I design that board one of nicest motherboard I ever see only color is bad and ugly. But I love such nice adn normal heatsinks, I wonder why no similar boards... ASUS make everything some... weird bad heatisinks... But this is completely exception... I could imagine such board black with silver heatsinks, that would be nice board.
 


 
You can easy install 4 GPU but no PCIEx1 slot some sound cards need such slot not x4 or x8.

You can install your sound card on one of the 16X slots. But if your doing 4 GPUS then of course no go. But if your worried about no PCIEX1 slot for a sound card then just buy a USB headset that has a built in sound card in it. That's what I did because I dont want to waste my slots for a stupid sound card. I rather waste my slots for more power.

guys you are missing the point, the price point is little above what I would pay, 2.5k is where I would stop but consider this
1. compact steam machines
2. mini ITX form Factor
3. Much cheaper solution to Enterprise level Hardware
I personally think that this card is not geared towards gaming enthusiasts but rather at a Developer or someone who might have tight space constraints, I have been through something like this personally where I was in a 300sft dorm and gaming option was to have a Mini Itx PC, it is not the best bang for your $$$$

it is so scandalous to advertise it as a 12gb card...

Why do you say that?  They already have cards with 12GB vRAM on them, the Quadros @ http://www.newegg.com/Pro...x?Item=N82E16814133494

Because its not, the most a game can utilize in sli is 6gb as it is 2 6gb gpus on one card

 
Cards are not just used for games though :) Compute apps can address each frame buffer independently. 

I suppose that means it would be a fantastic folding or crunching card.....

Price is about 3 times higher than I pay cards...
My max price for graphic cards is 800e... I would stay in future on that price as maximum too.
But that I'm ready if only some special sample show up and than to pay for that. And I'm ready to little wait such cards.

I would have one if it weren't for a little thing called $$ This card is like 3k I know all the rich benchers will have 2 for sure.

4-way Titan Black will out bench two of these. 3-way SLI Titan Black will game better than two of these as well.

I don't get the price tag. You can buy two titan BLACK SC for $2000 which wins over this.
 
I am guessing its clocked slower than a stock Titan as well due to heat etc so...? 
 
If you wanted Titan sli in one slot, sure, but sell it for $2g It doesn't make any sense other than hoping whoever is interested sucks at math and has a mini itx board?

Indubitably.  It seems targeted primarily at individuals who are bad at math, have little common sense, lots of disposable income and want it strictly for bragging rights. Two Titan Blacks make hella more sense which should become obvious once reviews/benchmarks start to arrive.

Umm yes...I mean why buy a Ferrari when you could buy two Lexus, right? These are niche market products and I still don't get why people complain about the extreme top tier products. It happens every time something comes out that is more expensive than some think it should be.

 
I am not complaining, I would be a hypocrite owning three Titans myself. I am logically saying it does not make sense with the price point.
 
Also your analogy does not make sense in this particular case. The real thing we are saying with this scenario is why buy a Lambo Aventador when you can get two Lambo Gallardo's. This Titan Z is no Veneno.....They are the same company and quality...This is not Lexus vs Ferrari.  
 
If someone is in the market for a nice video card upgrade, aside PCIE slot limitations I would guess 99.9% of even marginally informed buyers would get Titan Blacks in sli or tri sli over this. Unless as Jacob mentioned they want to compute, but it is being marketed as the best gaming card. I guess I can see this card being for the tiny niche market of benchers and folders, but I am just skeptical most of them will even bother. All that being said I am simply thinking out loud from the perspective of building a gaming rig and I am not in on Nvidia's Marketing and operations management meetings lol

And if you must persist in the Lexus vs Ferrari comparison, don't forget the Lexus LFA which kicks serious ass......though for too much money LOL

Nvidia has been advertising this as a gaming card not developers or writer workers card.

i have to say that US P9x79-E WS looks really guuuud
