And that's a gaming card... A workstation card (Quadro K6000) is $5k!
Also note that like all dual GPU cards there are no aftermarket cooling solutions available. I have never seen 3rd party Air or Water cooling replacement for one. So if you cannot RMA that card or hunt down an OEM replacement, then your 3K investment becomes a very expensive used brick....
Edit: Only modding a custom solution will save such a card.
How huge this card is and for the price there is better options I don't think there will be much draw on the market. Four slots taken up just so this thing can breath? WOW!

I don't know Jed, sounds to me like this is one for you. 2 Titan Blacks would have a 500W TDP where this baby only has 375W. More credits per watt ... that's what you've been looking for
Friends are like diamonds and diamonds are forever
no way i would ever pay that much for a card
But the Z is slower-clocked, meaning 2xBlacks would use 397 W at the same speed, this is 22 W more than the Z but 1 k cheaper. In a year this means 193 kWh more, so unless you're paying more than 5 $/kWh buying the Z doesn't make much sence. If you assumes 3 years lifetime-usage, you'll need to pay more than 1.73 $/kWh.
@Rattledagger ... it was a joke
