I'm buying myself one of these and will run MS-DOS + Windows 3.1

No, because you can buy two 780ti's for much less.

I would still at least opt for dual titans, given what I want to use it for.

I'm buying one to run a 24/7 Bash shell as the system.

Yea, but the Z is more than 2x the price of a Titan. So, for 2/3 the price, you can have the SLI Titan setup. Unless you are slot-limited, it just seems silly. That said, it's totally boss hardware.

Do not discount the performance/density factor. It matters. It costs more than two titans would because there is no other way to get almost 2x titan level performance from one card, and there are definitely folks in the HPC world who would be happy to pay for - and get a return on - the premium.

Seriously? For that kind of money you could have both the next gen consoles, a new 60" TV and a sound system for that kind of coin.

I'm going to play 2048 in Windows Explorer at 5K resolution.

I hear reports that it was a triple-slot card. Don't think that's fitting in a slot-limited case. (Thinking superpower ITX builds and the like.) But, if it is just 2 slots, then it makes perfect sense.
