You should wait no matter what you want to buy. GIGABYTE had some fails with overclocked card in past and better to check first performance and experience of customers. On overclock.net customers will start some topic probably soon after GIGABYTE start to sell cards. And maybe EVGA want to find some better chips for Hybrid.
Tubes look much better on MSI model and EVGA model, GIGABYTE is somehow sleeve similar to Fury X. Not first class.
It's nice because VRM is water cooled but really should be waited 1-2 months before final decision.
 

Good news boys
 
EVGA_Jacob " Update on FTW's at Amazon (US), looks like stock will be shipping next week"
 
If FTW's are shipping next week...hybrids should be shipping soon too
 

There's already a GTX-1080 Owners Club thread at Overclock.net that will have a ton of information from owners of cards from various manufacturers: http://www.overclock.net/...a-gtx-1080-owners-club

thx for this. Lets see what they say

I know but GIGABYTE owners will open own club for their Waterforce Xtreme Gaming.
With GIGABYTE GTX980Ti people had great overclocking results, but year before that bad.

I hope they changed the pipes for the 1080. I didnt like what they had on the 980ti. it looked cheap as hell

And now look cheap, compare with EVGA and MSI, zip ties hold sleeve on GIGABYTE model.
AMD didn't change at all even for PRO Duo, and people really didn't like on Fury X.
They need completely to change place if they want different tubes. To be honest better without sleeve at all than big sleeve.
But clock is great, looks like that's their fastest GTX1080 model, that mean should be compared with EVGA Classified.
Only if EVGA decide to push Hybrid further on 150-170MHz

I learned plenty from my participation in the 980 Owners Club thread. Sometimes you can learn a lot and others times it's just senseless chatter going back and forth about silly common sense things for days and days.

You will be sorry when Hybrid show up in shine package. Mmmmm....
EVGA prepare maybe version of Hybrid capable to work in combination with their AIO CPU cooler.
