Hot Damn! Didnt even see that logo! This is confirmed then? I know my 980ti was "compatible" aswell cause it was a built on a reference board, but you still needed that blower.




If I remember correctly, it wasn't listed as compatible on eVGA for the 980 ti with the ACX.  It showed it as compatible only with reference style cards.

Any updates on when the Hybrid will be available?  It's now late July and still no Hybrid available for sale
 
I noticed that the 'place marker' for the Classified appeared on EVGA's 1080 graphics products page (at the very bottom):

Ah, checking now and you're right. Guess I just read somewhere that it "could work"... aslong as you got the blower. Thanks for the quick help! =]

PasTecHi
Well since ordering from newegg or evga's site is black for me. Anyone running a seahawk 1080 wanna sell me it for a good price on ebay if you still planning on going for the evga hybrid next week? .-.

Forgive me if this question has been answered fellas but I'm in somewhat of a hurry. Does the new 1070/1080 hybrid kits come with the VRM cooler/fan? If I'm looking to get the kit in the future I might aswell get a ACX 3.0 right now. Anybody?
 
I got the ACX 2.0 980Ti back when and could never find somebody selling a separate reference blower to match the kit so I never got around to it.




If you look at the product page it shows the eVGA fan.  It also lists the regular and SC cards as compatible, so it will work.
 
EDIT:

No, that kit is not compatible with the GTX980Ti.  There is a listing of product codes that are compatible and none of them are for the GTX980Ti.  If you really want an upgrade kit for your GTX980Ti ACX 2.0, your only real choice for a Hybrid solution is the Corsair Hydro Series HG10 N980 (yes, it's compatible with the GTX980, GTX980Ti and Titan):

Thanks man but I got the information I was looking for. Not that it's a "proper" upgrade but it looks like I'm gonna be passing my 980ti on and adding a little something to get the 1070 :) Mostly just cause and to be able to get the hybrid kit eventually.

I own two GTX980Ti cards (SLI configuration) and it just was not worth upgrading to the 1070 or 1080 cards.  I was able to stable overclock my GTX980Ti cards and am able to attain 'near' 1080 performance.  For me, that justified me waiting for the 1080Ti or Titan cards for my main system.  However, I also have a mini-ITX gaming system and was willing to go with a 1080 Hybrid as it is able to attain >20% gains in most games at 1440P or UHD resolutions without having to overclock (which is limited anyways because of the 600W power supply in my mini-ITX build).
 
The two main choices for a 1080 Hybrid solution are the MSI Sea Hawk X 1080 and EVGA's 1080 Hybrid.  Quite different approaches as MSI's 1080 Hybrid solution is essentially a reference PCB with single 8-pin PCI-E power connector, whereas EVGA's solution is essentially a FTW or Classified PCB & VRM configuration (no confirmation by EVGA on which one they chose for the 1080 Hybrid) with non-reference PCB with dual 8-pin PCI-power connectors.  That is the main reason why I preferred waiting for EVGA's Hybrid as I believe it will have a much better potential for overclocking ;-)

He asked if the new kit worked with the ACX versions of the 1070/1080 to place them later if he bought an ACX now.

Yeah, I missed that.  Thanks.  Of course the Hybrid kit works on the 1070/1080 ACX versions - it says so right on the product page
