EVGA Released today the Hybrid Cards.. which has me scratching my head like ?!??
Its a hybrid water cooled (closed) / Air offering.. With the SAME Clocks as the Classifieds?!?  So what the hell is the water cooling for??  This is insanity, and leaves me wondering what in the heck the guys over there are doing..  I have my EVGA SLI Brigdge, sitting nicely in a new box, waiting to mate it with some hydro coppers, sometime (Supposedly) in October, early november.  IF that comes to fruition at least.

When you get this installed and start to experiment with it, I would be interested to hear your results.  I am very interested in the ZOTAC ArcticStorm card as an alternative to the Hydro Copper since EVGA is just sleeping on the HC with no regard for the customers who are willing to spend the extra cash for it...
 
It's still up on Newegg and I am SO tempted to just bite the bullet.

BTW Ekwb have release the Full-Cover water blocks for EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW for pre-order! Rolling out on September 15th..

Any news update? :'(

i cant found any stock of "hybrid ftw 1080".. are on sale? or.. only for reviewers ??

Still waiting for word from EVGA on HC 1080......  I am still running my 580 but it only has 1.5gb of Vram so I could not play the BF1 beta.  cant play doom.  cant play the division.  grrrrrr :(
 

Kinda in the same boat here... I wish they give us approximate date... I'm pretty close to skipping that generation as well...

When can we expect EVGA Hydro Copper GTX 1080?
I am considering buying the founders edition on May 27 but if within a month Hydro Copper is available I will wait.
 
Looking back...
980 Ti came out June 2nd 2015
EVGA 980 Ti HC came out ~June 27th
 
Looks like good possibility EVGA 1080 HC will be out early June!
 
Edit: Updated Info Released

Any Update on with regard to availability of the GTX 1080 HydroCopper ?

Assuming that late July was supposed to be late July 2016 :-) there should be at least some more information available. Otherwise I will have to consider a product from a competitor as well - can't wait to start using my VR HMD.

I ordered 2 Arctic Storm, they shipped today, a review on .hardwareluxx.de shows the card keeps a frequency of 2063 with no overclock, and goes from 41 idle to 46 full load (and 2063 freq - with 360 radiator).
 

 
Got a link for us ?

Well arctic storm is a modified 1080 with waterblock just like 1080 hydrocopper will be, and is a good indikstion of what kind of perfornace the 1080 hydrocopper will have

Someone wanted link so i posted link

You guys wanna see an EVGA Hydro Copper that you can actually get, today?

 
 

 
 
 
Oh wait, that's a 1080 SC sporting an EK full cover water block and the original EVGA backplate. And I've had the 1080 for nearly three months now, and the EK block on it for several weeks.

At some point you guys suffering with several year old cards gotta make a decision whether you're going to poop or get off the pot. If you're still using a 580 and really want a Hydro Copper, and EVGA is simply failing to sell you one, you have to decide whether you just keep waiting forever, or help yourself. While it might not be called the Hydro Copper and come like this out of the box, you are in fact able to help yourself to the final product right now, today, if you really want to.

If you're holding on because you're convinced that EVGA's eventual Hydro Copper will be a "special" 1080 that works better, then just go buy a 1080 FTW and put EK's new FTW water block on it. From what I read EK has finally released them.
 
I have no idea why EVGA can't seem to get this product out to you guys. It may be simply 1080 supply problems in general, or it could be that EVGA is simply working on too many different products with too few people, or who knows what the problem is. At this point we're over three months into the 1080, and you Hydro Copper fanbois have been waiting for months and months with nothing to show for it.
 
Either EVGA gives you some real info to tide you over, or releases a product you can actually buy, or you take the problem into your own hands and get the product that will satisfy your needs using what's actually available on the market today. Or keep waiting and missing out on games. To the guy who can't play The Division because his card is too slow, I have bad news for you: you missed the boat. The Division is dying a death through lack of new content, and only a small fraction of its playerbase is still plugging away. Don't get me wrong, I loved that game, warts and all, and I played it far, far longer than most of my friends, but even I haven't logged in to the Division in weeks. I just played it out.

What's the overclock like? Does the clocks hold or are you dealing with temp,voltage and power limits lowering your clocks down over time?

Assuming you were asking me, my 1080 SC on air would run reliably at 2025, sometimes at 2038, and at 2050 sometimes but unreliably. The temperatures would hit high enough levels to lose 1-3 steps of performance (each step is like 12.5 Mhz) as the chip warmed up. My water-cooled 1080 SC runs reliably at 2126 or 2139, somewhat flakily at 2152 (it can finish benchmarks, but in a gaming session will almost certainly crash eventually). The temps under constant gaming load are around 42 C, with my cpu and gpu both running the Folding At Home app for hours my gpu temps will be at around 45 C with gpu pegged at 2088 Mhz (I turn it down on purpose to 2088 for constant folding).
 
eta: since my temps never rise above the threshold for the gpu to begin dropping speed due to temperature, the performance stays high, subject only to power and voltage limits
