I can't believe, I must buy one of that two version HydroCopper or Hybrid.
I'm in loved... in their look. My God both are so beautifull.
I saw and ACX 3.0... OK it's cool, innovation, Classified look powerful and they are nicer than any competition, but these two...
I would like so much one first Hydro Copper card on EKWB Predator, at least 240mm. If not I will buy Hybrid.
I hope that's aluminum shield. 
 
EVGA CONGRATS on DESIGN OF NEW GRAPHICS.
IMAGINE 1080Ti Hybrid or TITAN Hybrid... 3840 CUDA, 24GB, Strong as GTX980Ti SLI.

Guys are you happy because both of liquid cooled models arrive with 8+8 pin power connectors.
Hybrid and Hydro Copper I'm very happy because of that. 

I'll be happy if I can ever buy one! :p

I might have to upgrade my PS to get 4x8pins without doing some cabling kludges. I'd prefer 2x(8+6)
 
Seeing the 8+8 power connectors makes me start thinking more about a DIY AIO/hybrid solution to the FE/reference models.
 
I will stay away from the bleeding edge of overclocks and voltages. My preference is long term stability and reliability.

Then you should probably just buy the reference PCB, with only one 8-pin :-)

I agree and that is likely the path I will choose. I already have 1 FE on its way to me. If I decide I want to upgrade to SLI and need better cooling, then I will likely put in a pre-order for a 2nd card with the EVGA blower cooler. Then wait for an add-on AIO cooling solution.
 
btw I did just check my (yet uninstalled) PS upgrade and it does have 4x8 pcie connectors. But that doesn't change my thoughts above. 
 
 
 

Question is, when will they be available?

My question too. I suspect that until they get the modified ACX cards close to finalized that the H2O variants will have to sit on the back burner.
 

Is the hydro copper gonna have dual bios like the ftw ? This card look very promising with it's custom pcb and 8+8 pin power delivery. Can't wait to replace my 980ti hydro copper for this one :p

Picking up a Hydro soon as it drops. My 980ti HC has been phenomenal.
