The 1080 Hybrid is going to be a non-ref PCB this time around, yeah?
 
Would the existing aftermarket hybrid kit (the updated one for the 9-series cards) work on the 08G-P4-5180-KR 1080? The dimensions on both the 980 Ti Hybrid and that 1080 model appear to be identical.

From what I've gathered the 1080 Hybrid and the 1080 FTW use the same non reference PCB.
 
Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

I've seen some peolpe mod the 980ti kit to fit it on the reference card on youtube tho

I also heard Hybrid and FTW will have the same PCB, and that the 9 series water cooling fit the 10 series (thought hey were talking about 980Ti to be specific, not sure if they are different but they should all fit).

Are we there yet? Waiting to throw money at EVGA, but it seems they don't want it :)

Demand for Pascal is big... But I expect few percent lower profit in first months than in years before.
Thanks to really high price. But at the end profit will be record again probably.
 

Fixed that.

Anyone looked at the Gigabyte version of xtreme water cooled?

It's a very interesting GPU called the Waterforce. No fan on the card itself but it's 100% liquid cooled.
 
Power delivery is robust with 12+2 phases and dual 8 pin PCI power connectors.

EVGA has some work to do.
 
I might have to take a closer look at this one.

I saw, and clock is VERY nice but design is far from EVGA Hybrid.
EVGA completely surprise me this year with Hybrid design. I expect nice performing card, with excellent temperatures, maybe aluminum cooling...
But they change PCB and use wider with 8+8pin connector and with new shroud look fantastic.
 
GIGABYTE with 185MHz OC that's as ASUS Strix... special if Pascal OC harder now fabric OC mean a lot.
I think EVGA should offer similar performance or results will be weaker than Strix and GIGABYTE with AIO.
For 4 years warranty I don't care, only for high clock because many manufacturers will push chip to the end without possibility to OC more.
 
EVGA should start to sell Power Link Adapter for 10$ example and to give with premium models.
In future many people will want to pull cable only 2-3 cm from grommets because cleaner look inside PC.
They should build and with 8+6 pin and 8+8+6 pin for K|NGP|N card. Power Link Adapter maybe could help when people OC with LN2 because cables are completely on side.
 
 

I saw the Gigabyte one...i was impressed tbh. I didnt want to buy the msi seahawk because im sure u can have better overclock results with the EVGA Hybrid but after looking at the waterforce last night....it got me into this big decision....but it seems like EVGA doesnt want my money either.
Are we there yet? :(
