WHEN!!
I have HTC Vive barely running on my grandaddy Radeon HD7970

Just cancelled my ftw order after seeing the hydrocopper for ONCE isn't a ref pcb. Finally EVGA!!! You will get my money on 2 hydrocoppers for once.

I am much more interested in this card as well!!! I hope its closer to $800, not $900 though.

I am glad I sold my 980ti's when I did. It looks like my firestrike score will be similar.
 
I was getting 22,826 with the 980ti's
If the OC FE can get 20,000(guru 3D review), I am sure with the Hydro 1080 I can get close to 23,000
 

I wonder if the Hydro Copper and Hybrid are based off of the FTW PCB... hmmm...?

Sorry, wrong thread. 
 

Any of you guys that want to grab a 1080 to step up to a hydro will be disappointed to find out you can't step up to the HC. **Usually**, the reference card is the step-up model. I just don't want anyone to be upset about learning this after the fact. The step-up can be a great program if used correctly.

Graphics Cards

• EVGA will only release reference versions of its products, NVIDIA reference spec and clock, to the Step-Up program.
• Step-Up is limited to pre-approved graphics cards only and can only be used for exchange to a different and higher performing GPU.
• Products known to have a limited availability will not be made available to the Step-Up program. (Limited availability determined by EVGA.)
• Customers who received their EVGA graphics card as part of a complete computer system are not eligible - except for those listed on our approved system vendor list.

Graphics Cards Examples:

• GTX 780 Ti → GTX 980: YES (Upgraded GPU)
• GTX 960 2GB → GTX 960 4GB SuperSC ACX2.0+ 1GB: YES (Upgraded Memory)
• GTX 970 FTW → GTX 970 FTW+ : YES (Upgraded Model)

Really, I just want to know:
- when the FTW is going to be released (and when I can pre-order one, and where)
- when the classified is going to be released (and when I can pre-order one, and where)
- if EK is going to release blocks for FTW/Classified
- when the HC is going to be released, and at what cost (and when I can pre-order one, and where)
 
Then we can finally make an educated guess about what to bu.

I'm disappointed the Hydrocopper will not be a true single slot.
 
Could have lived without that DVI port.

Jacob answers some of that on his Twitter page.
