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

But here we are on EVGA don't care about zotac or msi we all know how they perform.....

Someone wanted link so i posted link

Well, here is another one you can not care about, albeit with a closed loop from EK...

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.

I call bull crap on that zotac water cooled card overclock! 2300+?? Yeah right. If true zotac sent him one hell of a sample to stear up interest.

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?

I poped the link you can look for yourself. THey used a 360 radiator, and in full load, no clock modification at 46 degreees the card maintained 2063 mhz clock on all games: 
Look here:

Suposedly it has the same PCB as the AMP Extreme Edition which has 1771 Base 1911 Boost, one of the highest frequency on air cooled 1080s. If that is indeed the case, its no wonder it holds the 2063 freq in games.
Also the card has a 270W power limits, one of the highest power limits of all the 1080, if not the highest from all.
 
Der maximale GPU-Takt von 2.063 MHz wird in allen Tests erreicht und damit dürfte sich die Karte in allen Benchmarks an die Spitze setzen. Selbst nach längerer Last bleibt es bei den 2.063 MHz und es wird keine Drosselung vorgenommen.
The frequency of 2063 is achieved in all test,and with it the card should be on top of all the benchmarks. Even on continuous load the freq remains at2063 and no throttling is produced.
 
So yah, i believe i made a good choice by getting two of these babies.

AHowes

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

Nice.
