How many soons are we up to? lol

well, lets just hope Evga's Soon is not as Blizzard's soon lol. That stuff takes years :S

You should try GamersFirst "Soon"
They announced an Engine Upgrade for the game APB Reloaded in 2012. We are in 2016. It was supose to release Q1 2015, moved to Q3 2015, moved to early 2016 to Mid 2016....still waiting...SOON!

lmao :) 

I never waited this long for a GPU, holy s#@t EVGA. It's ridiculous how long it takes, my patience getting out of control, xD.

well i guess we can only blame semi conductor company TSMC for all the delay. they just can't keep up with the demand.
 
If they don't send major quantities of the 1080 Chips to EVGA they can't do much. i bet EVGA have stock piles of Boards just waiting for the GPU chip to be inserted and then ship them out.

getting my new card in 9days.....if i get my card in 9 days and i dont see a single evga hybrid 1080. The first AIO that comes available will come to papa

Why does EVGA not cover the VRAM with the heatsink on the Hybrid?   I'm leaning towards this gigabyte version since it covers the entire board and there is only one fan.  
 
Also I really wish they would stop sending out small batches. All it does is promote scalping.

Actually MSI, Asus and Gigabyte are way ahead of EVGA, 50+/100+ have been in stock this whole week. So far i've never seen any EVGA 10x0 card in stock, like ****? Now this is so sad QQ

Supply and demand. Are MSI, ASUS, and Gigabyte really getting more NVidia chips for their cards, or are people just more interested in EVGA cards and buying them up as fast as they appear?

@Seth we are waiting for the AIO Hybrid 1080....MSI released the sea hawk x and ek x a long time ago while the gigabyte did last week. While the evga is still "SOON". Every other card evga asus msi zotac was in stock coming in and sold out past week. Till today we have not seen a single hydrocopper n'or hybrid 1080 from evga yet. All we know is that it will be on the market this month according to jacob's last podcast

No it's not like people are more interested in EVGA cards, the problem is they never been in stock. I asked so many stores in my country and they said we never received cards for preorders or even a release a date from EVGA. And for MSI, ASUS and Gigabyte they do run out of stock too but it takes 2-3 days for more to be in stock. Also i have no problem to go with MSI or Asus right now but i always had these cards since GTX 650 and now i want to try some of EVGA cards.

Ok got the Gigabyte AIO tested. Here are my results more important to least important:

Noise: The pump is a lot louder than than Evga Titan X hybrid and I had 4 of those. I should be getting a 2nd one in a few weeks once more comes in stock so I can see if maybe my unit is a louder than it should be. This is not the sound of air trapped in the pump. I also have the pump oriented to the lowest position so any air should go away from it. I’ve tilted my case 90 degrees on its side a few times and it sounded exactly the same regardless of the orientation. It sounded just like the EVGA pump just louder. It’s like an oldshool IDE hard drive thinking.

Fan: The fan is whisper quiet I know a lot of people were complaining about not being able to change it out. I just ran the fan at a static 30% and I can’t hear it over my Corsair SP120 quiet editions running at a static 1450rpm (max speed). It also keeps the unit cool just fine at that speed (see more below)

Overclocks: I got the core overclocked to 2138mhz (1733mhz FE edition, 1860mhz FTW/Classified) and the memory overclocked to 10,956mhz (10,000mhz default FE edition, FTW & Classified) Please note I was able to get the memory overclocked even higher but it was actually reducing my frames slighly. I’ve heard this with other people as well I guess it takes power away from the core when the memory is overclocked too high. I'm unsure how good my core clocks are I haven't really been following the 1080 overclocks at all.

Temperatures: Idles low 30’s C, max up to mid 50’s C when benchmarking. This is with a static 30% fan speed that is whisper quiet. Probably won’t go past 50C in gaming since running your GPU’s at 100% all the time is a bit unrealistic. This is amazing considering the radiator is not just cooling the core like the EVGA version but the memory & the MOFSETs as well.

Looks / Craftsmanship: Obviously the EVGA one looks better. This is a bit tackier but oh well. The plastic also feels really cheap. I know the EVGA shroud is plastic too but it feels even more cheap in my opinion. Don’t care much for the LED’s I just turned them off anyway.

Software: The Gigabyte software is surprisingly pretty good. I feel like there is more customization and more controls verus EVGA precision. The interface looks tackier though. Precision wouldn’t even launch for me even though it warned me about not having all features disabled and giving them all the info about the GPU I was using.

Overall I’m a bit disappointed primarily with just the pump noise. I tend to try to run a quiet rig and the pump is officially the loudest part of my system now. I will most likely go EVGA next generation of GPUs (Titan P’s?) since I feel the extra noise isn’t worth maybe the 1FPS advantage over EVGA hybrid (maybe). I will still keep it though and get a 2nd for this generation at least.
