Waiting for this card like the 1st and the 15th. I'm pretty sure that's what Kendrick Lamar was rapping about, hard to get graphics cards.

Has anyone looked into the Gigabyte gtx 1080 xtreme gaming water cooling ? I see we keep talking about the msi sea hawk but haven't read anything here about the gigabyte?

there's a few guys on here with the Gigabyte Waterforce 1080. it's the only 1080's that i've seen that are hitting 2200+ OC's.

The Gigabyte is full water block, completely enclosed and cools VRMs too. There's no fan on the actual card unlike the Hybrid. MSI has a fan on the card too and the cooler is made by Corsair. Nothing a smidge of voltage + custom bios can't resolve re: getting to 2200mhz on the Hybrid I'd suspect. Other than Apple, no other company ever has provided the quality of support that EVGA has provided me. I wait for EVGA cards every generation.

I see a lot of reviews mentioning loud pump noise, and that the fan is not that high quality but also extremely difficult to remove, looks like the thing is wired internally. So if you were going to pass on waiting for the Hybrid it looks like the MSI Sea Hawk is the better purchase.

What is taking so long? It has been weeks since EVGA released the Hybrid and still not in stock here in Norway.
I am soon to give up on EVGA because this is just ridiculous.

Yeah same here in Sweden (duh obviously neighbour hehe). What annoys me is the lack of information along with the shortage of cards. The shortage I do understand, not much EVGA can do there. Still annoying though. I'm refreshing the page for the hybrid many times each day since EVGA refuses to give an ETA on when the cards will be available here in Europe. That together with the shortage on the cards causes me lots of frustration. I mean the cards could be available in 5mins or in 5 weeks. We don't know anything, thats what frustrates me :/

The way I see it, it's EVGA selling a couple of cards early in the US to subdue us, when the matter of the fact is, that actual mass-production is ages away. If they had the cards, they could have shipped a ton of them to US, and then as much the next week. But they don't have them ready. They just sold a small batch that they were able to produce so that we wouldn't be able to say that the card was announced on June 2nd and, come September, there will still be no sight of it.
Fun fact, Jakob said the release date for the 1080 hybrid was "late June"
They're lagging behind the competition to the extent where they're not relevant anymore and will be there only to pick up the scraps.
It could be different if EVGA didn't keep us in the dark, but that's bad for their image.

Last week i called then to ask when they would sell  again the hybrid , and the EU support sales guy told me in one or two weeks, and that NA would receive sooner (he was right because one day after they release in NA), so yeah pay attention to your email during this 2 weeks

Today my preorder got shipped. They also told that there will be more stock next week.
 
I'm located in Germany btw.
