More details soon 




Hello Jacob.  Can we get an update from you?  Release date, price, etc would be nice.  Thanks

Would be nice if the Hybrid's faceplate, or even the radiator fan was RGB lit as well - seems a shame only the FTW has that treatment...

I agree. Maybe the EVGA & Hybrid lettering on the top were the hoses exit could light up? It would be a nice subtle touch.

I'm eagerly anticipating the news. I saw the tweet where he had a HoF (?) in his hand with a Hybrid just casually on the bottom left of the picture. I know this is not popular opinion but I've decided to sell one of my 980 ti hybrids to a friend and will probably dish the newer one off on r/hardwareswap and get the 1080 hybrid. I'm a major fan of the hybrid line and I just do not care for sli. I've tried and tried and I get 60+ fps in Witcher 3 at 4k but there is stuttering and there are games that don't support it. Even games like Assassins Creed Syndicate don't do fantastic at 1440 maxed in sli, so I just need to cut my losses and get this beautiful piece of hardware.

Any news yet? I just bought a 980ti hybrid and i want to use the upgrade, will i be able to use the upgrade for the 1080 hybrid or should i just settle for one of the other ones?

There is no better version than the Hybrid version. If you like low temps, no noise, and good overclocks then that's the card for you. The 980 ti hybrid is just a great card and I expect the 1080 hybrid to be the same.

I'm hoping to eventually see a hybrid that covers the VRMs in addition the to the GPU.  Maybe this time?




This is a bit late but wanted to add something... specifically in regards to the VRM cooling abilities of the Hybrid design...
 
A good while back I installed two of the EVGA Hybrid coolers on my dual GTX 980's and have been simply amazed at how well they perform: max at mid 50's in *everything* ... 1500mhz core overclock all day long ... near totally silent ...
 
And since the VRM cooling plate remains on the card and the stock "blower" fan is still functional, I still see a very good cooling circumstance for the VRM IC's being adequately cooled... 
 
When doing load tests with the "blower" fan engaged at around 40% speed, the air coming out of the back of the card(s) is consistently at around 100F ... this is damn good.  The air coming out of the radiator(s) is also about 100F ... so not only is the pump/radiator doing a great job of cooling the main GPU die ... but the stock "blower" fan, in combination with the stock cooling plate is also doing a fine job of cooling the memory chips ...
 
In fact, when installing the Hybrid coolers ... I placed some copper sinks on the cooling plate over both main areas where the VRM's reside and perhaps this is helping ... not sure ... but I know the VRMs are getting cooled very well simply by measuring the temperature of the air coming out of the back of the case ...
 
Here's a pic of how my cards are configured:

...
 
And believe it or now, squeezing two into a Corsair 600T works remarkably well in the following config ... the cables are quite long and quite flexible so opening the case to clean, etc. is easy as all get out.  And I've seen no performance drop from the hoses being "snaked" like that ...
 
And when working at load, this thing is a COMPLETE space heater in my 13'x13' room ... LOL ... so much hot air coming out the side and back of the case as it's nearly hard to believe ...
 
...
 

 
...
 
(I used fan grills because I cut all the metal mesh out of the side panel where the two radiator fans exhaust air ... both to increase air flow and because the perforated grill can make a whining noise if the air flow is high enough)
 

 
...
 
Just some random info ...

are they intakes or exhaust?
 
i dont know what it was, but i couldn't get 2 980ti's to stay under 65 in my case (storm scout 2 pictured on last page). the bottom one ran cooler, i think high 50's low 60's. its rad was mounted to the front of the case as exhaust i believe.
 
the top cards rad was mounted on the back/rear panel as exhaust as well, but was in the mid 70's. touching the card/backplate/rad/hoses was difficult because how hot they were. i thought the hybrid kit was faulty and had it exchanged. the new kit pretty much ran about the same if i remember correctly. (i ended up selling one of the 980ti's). i did notice changing the top/rear rad to an intake helped A LOT, but i expected both to run in the 50's like yours. i had a 295x2 before, so (2) 290 gpus going through a single 120mm rad, and it ran more efficient then the (2) 980tis on their own rads.
 
now i only run a single 980ti, with the rad still in the front of the case, not sure if i changed the direction of the fan, cant remember. either way, it runs in the 50's by itself just fine. 
 
i am eager to try a sli hybrid setup again. pretty much decided on a 1080 setup, but i always have that though.... maybe i should wait for the 1080ti!

Any ETA? This silence is seriously starting to make me consider the MSI Seahawk. I obviously prefer EVGA because my last 3 cards have been EVGA cards, but I'm really not digging this cloak and dagger crap.

EVGA really aren't known for blogging about release dates, or making "we have listened" articles about their products.
 
Most likely we won't see the 1080 Hybrid or Classified before August, at least.
