I just received my Gigabyte Xtreme waterforce, and after quick OC (10 mins using linear OC tool in Gigabyte app) hit 2214 stable @ 50C. Beast of a card. I wish you guys all luck on the snagging of the elusive 1080 Hybrid. BTW I was hesistant about cards, because of the few reviews I could find stated the card had horrendous pump noise. Mine is silent. Maybe Gigabyte went back to the drawing board for second rollout of card?

Wow! What awesome overclock. And stays very cool too.  Congrats!
 
Water cooling is the way to go folks. Just hang in there the Hybrid will be worth the wait.

Finally install my MSI 1080 Sea Hawk X.......it runs very very cold.
 
1080 resolution:
On boot, 78F/25.5C, after fallout 4 at highest settings the hottest it got after 45 mins was 91F/32.7. Nothing over 91F, I was watching closely.  My old EVGA 980 was running 135F/57C
 
 4K resolution, Fallout 4 highest settings, 58-60 FPS, temps 48-54C.  Solid frames per second
 

Very nice.
 
What kind of clock speeds are you getting?

 
I dont understand the MSI gaming app :(  I dont know where to look to see the base speeds, let alone the OC mode.  Can this not be done in gaming app? or do I need the MSI afterburner?.  I thought it had a one touch OC mode, but dont see the new speeds. 

You could use either the gaming app or MSI afterburner but don't use both of them together because they may conflict with one another.
 
In the gaming app there is a OC mode, gaming mode, and silent mode. My Sea Hawk defaulted to the OC mode as should yours. There is OSD button that lets you toggle on/off certain parameters and make those parameters visible on screen when you play. This is were you can see your clock speeds.
 
Afterburner is similar, you can choose the parameters you want visible on screen but Afterburner also allows you to overclock too.
 
Also GPU-Z is another program that can show you what and how your GPU is performing.

Hey guys & gals,
Got my Gigabyte Waterforce in yesterday later than I expected. Fedex didn't get to my area until around 6:00pm so I didn't get much time to play with it. Spent a little bit of time this morning on it and got to 2177MHz core clock and 10432MHz on memory, Stable at 55C. I could probably push it a smidge higher with a little bit of a voltage bump, but I'm more than happy with a solid 2100+ core that never throttles down. I'm probably going to back it down to 2153MHz core and 10400MHz on memory just for my sanity of not wanting to put my card in an early grave. Also, it sits pretty much less than 80% TDP so it definitely seems that the dual 8-pin PCIe isn't really needed on the 10 series (unless you really start pushing up the voltage, which I haven't yet). I just hit the 30min mark of the Furmark Stress Test and it's been rock solid so far. Time to push it through some TimeSpy...

Snagged a Gigabyte 1080 Waterforce from Newegg since Evga hybrid is still a little way off.
Time to retire my Evga 280gtx card :)

Holy mother of upgrades batman... That should be quite a difference in performance. You won't be disappointed with the Gigabyte Waterforce.

Yeah I am super happy with my card and you got some similar numbers on your, *cheers* *clanks cards together*

I really hope you have a newer than the GTX 280 was, otherwise you will not see the cards full potential

Nailed it, another week, but by this point, will another week actually be next week? We'll find out on next weeks episode of EVGA's elusive unicorn hybrid.
And then to do battle and probably not even get one and wait another week and another week and so on.
Still NO ETA on FTW kits as well.
 
This is now X5 I could have bought a waterforce, a card I know will perform better than the hybrid--if it weren't for it's aesthetics/non removal of the fan...I don't think I care anymore, I doubt I'll let it slide for a 6th time by now when EVGA's option is completely uncertain.
 
But now we finally get a reason, so it's a design delay of the shroud because EVGA is new to doing something with a custom PCB over the standard? Talk about dropping the ball.

Weeks? It will be months before we can easily get the Hybrid. By easily I mean just checking a website and clicking "buy" without sitting at a desk all day / F5 / email notifications of stock available and then running out before I can even click onto the website. I'd estimate by the holidays we will easily be able to get one...maybe.

Upgraded my computer last week and was waiting for a in-stock 1080 to finish it. :)
6900K / Asus x99-aii / 32gb ram / Rm850i /H110i Gtx / 512gb m.2 drive.
It'll be used for gaming and rendering 3D models with Light wave.
 
My old pc was a dual core2 3.33ghz with 8gb. Way overdue for an upgrade.

which m.2 drive? just wondering. i have been waiting for more nvme drives to come out so the prices drop. that 2500mb read and 1500mb write is very tempting!!

dang, Jacob couldn't even verify availability for next week. It could still be weeks away.
