im hoping $699, but probably $750




MSI SeaHawk was briefly seen for $749 - I assume the EVGA Hybrid and Gigabyte Waterforce will be about the same.


MSI Sea Hawk X Went for 719.99
The EK X went for 750
I think the hybrids will go for 750 as well.
But hey next week is "Mid July"
*Hits the 3rd gear* Alright boys the hypetrain is speeding up

Nah the Seahawk was 750. The Seahawk Ek was 810. At least for newegg prices.

I think it was a rumor or something. Basically a non issue and a few people had issues. Over at Reddit Nvidia it was squashed rather quickly. Your temps are obviously not normal but others report staying in the 60's.

A recent thread pointed out that it was the non OC Asus RoG cards that were having troubles.

ok cool. i was just wondering, really, because i haven't read anything negative about the Asus Strix OC 1080. the rumor about the regular Asus Strix might be true though because i've noticed that they have very few of those in circulation.
 
when planning my build, i made GPU airflow a huge concern. it's one of the main reasons why i went with the NZXT Switch 810 case. i have 2 140mm Noctuas for intake and 2 140mm NZXT internal case fans focusing air right at my GPU:
 



That's some beautiful work. Plenty of fans in that rascal. You should be golden.

Since we are all waiting and waiting. Anyone have any insider ideas as to what the Hybrid might cost? 
 
I'd suspect in the range of a founders edition card, but if I am undershooting a bit, I might just bite at the next time a SC becomes available. My 780 SC has done well over the years and when gaming I can't hear it because of my headset being on anyway. That said, it's almost always at 40% fanspeed even when gaming anyway lol.




I'm assuming the price of the FTW edition +100 bucks. That's almost $800. I would bank on near there.

On amazon the sea hawk went for 719.99 and immediatly went out of stock.
Sadly there is no video of any legit benchmark from the seahawk on youtube

whats not out yet? the sea hawk or the ek x sea hawk? there was only 1 dude who had an unboxing video of the sea hawkwith the 1x8 pin(none ek) but no review. He isnt a partnered reviewers because...well he has 82 subs lol....and a phone camera to try recording the unbox...so he did buy it somewhere and not pre-order.

appreciate the kind words, fellas. i also have 2 140mm Noctua Redux fans on my Kraken x61. noise level was another huge concern for this build.
 
yeah, i don't see the EVGA 1080 Hybrid being any cheaper than $750+.
 
i couldn't find any MSI 1080 Sea Hawk reviews either. they did go on sale briefly for just a few minutes and i've never seen them come back.
