Considering that I play to keep the rig i'v just made for 4ish years and playing at 3440x1440 i have no doubt that 6 gig not gonna be in enough rather soon. (Star Citizen is coming soon :))

Kielwb you still want this card with the 980 GTX Ti out?

I meant the AIO kit, not the whole card...I've debated back and forth about returning my Titan X for a pair of 980 Ti but I'd lose the money I spent on the extended warranty/advanced RMA things ($100 combined!) - if I could get a refund for that I'd probably do it.  Part of me also thinks staying with the X is a good idea because of the resolution I play at (3440x1440) - I know games can't use the 12GB now, but I feel like running stuff on that resolution in the next year or two might get to where 6GB could be a limiting factor at the high end.
 
I don't know.  I think if EVGA would refund/transfer my warranty and RMA stuff I'd be driving to Microcenter to return the X tonight.

Silly question, but how does one get extended warranty and advanced RMA? Or is that only available as an option if you order straight from EVGA?

It is available when you register your product.

Thanks for the info, but I guess it's a US only thing, didn't get such option when I was registering mine.
Also, I am beginning to think EVGA has no plans to make 980 hybrid and Titan X hybrid available here. *sighs*

Which monitor are you using?

LG 34UM95. It's pretty amazing, and I switched from a 27" 120hz monitor.

Any news as to when the upgrade kit will be back in stock?

Is the hybrid cooler kit going to be available at other retailers also?

Is the Backplate, used on the titan x hybrid, cooling the backside FETs & memory - is there a thermal connection with pads or thermal compound?
 
I'm asking, because i'm going to use some titans for my rendering systems - that means, they might be CUDA-rendering @ 100% for many hours with no pause. This is much more intense for the card than playing games.  If the backside components are poorly cooled, that might affect stability i guess. That's why i was going to wait for the Inno3D hybrid solution but now the EVGA seems to be even better, as it fully eliminates warm air in the case. If the backplate is not just for fancy, i'm going for the EVGAs!

I've heard of issues with the backplate interfering with cooling with adjacent cards. If you can space them apart then hopefully that won't be an issue.
 
I've never found the Inno3D iChills in the USA if that's where you are. I believe they're in China, Russia, and Japan mostly. Maybe the EU.
