The gaming hardware junky community is aware, if only as a result of most Titan Black/Z reviews arriving at the conclusion, "a gamer's money is better spent elsewhere, as all a Titan really provides over the latest consumer offerings is good workstation performance (double precision floating point)."
For reference:
Titan Z DP FP: 2707 GFLOPS
ATI 5870 (released sept 2009): 544 GFLOPS
Titan X (current generation - NVidia recognized that gamers don't value DP performance): 192 GFLOPS
I sometimes wonder how it came to be that the Titan Z preceded the Titan X...
E: to clarify, review sites are aware that STEM people need double precision and 6/12GiB GPU memory for something
