Interesting, so EVGA is doing water-block in-house ?
I sure hope they know what they are doing.
 EK had been trusted source of water blocks for many years.
 
I'm still getting hydro copper from EVGA.

Swiftech did their 780Ti classy Hydro Copper, so not necessarily will be "in house". Could be them again.

Just an FYI, Hydro Copper blocks aren't made by us this round. Not sure who EVGA has gone with, they haven't told us a thing.

There won't be any EK blocks for non-ref EVGA cards this round as of this post.

Why one of your guys said on reddit the lineup would be similar to the ones from previous years then? Come one guys...

The HC better be available soon, and it better be a damn good PCB/specs/block guys. Because right now, you screwed up...

Demands.. What if they don't release it soon?

They will lose a ****load of clients. If you go over reddit, you'll already see people saying they'll take the strix or the MSI ^^
 
[EDIT] And by the way, that's no demand. Just expectations :-)

The problem is, they have already said that the Hybrid will not be a 14+3 I believe in the stream they said it was a 10? Less power available and on water... I really don't get why they are not doing a block for this card. Makes absolutely 0 sense.

It won't change any of the sales. They will stay sold out, just like they always have every single time that reddit said they would drop them. It's empty threats.. every.. time.. Reddit it 98% talk, 1% harassing streamers and forums, 1% action. I never head over to reddit, because it's exactly as I mention above.

Reddit has the exact answers everyone else has. Nothing. Evga doesn't comment on items that aren't released, even when reddit demands it. The Hydrocopper will be announced when it is finalized, just like it always has been. Before that, it is all speculations. Wait for an official statement.

10+1 for the HC from what I read on reddit.

Yeah... I'm also a big fan of everything being sold out, whatever the number of buyers are. To be far, it's far from limited to EVGA. It just means the consumers less than crap for all these guys. We learned to live with a while ago.
And yes obviously it won't mean the HC or the classified won't sell. Especially if they have another partner than EK for the blocs. But since they are not saying anything, the people who want a watercooled, high-end 1080, probably won't stay with EVGA. Until they reveal something interesting. But like you said, everything is sold out anyway.

The hybrid isn't a hydrocopper, they are two completely different cards and pcbs

Also 10 phases doesn't change the power to the card at all. 5 phases, 10 phases, and 14 phases deliver the same exact amount of power. Phases only smooth out the power delivery, not deliver more.

On air/water, phases will make minimal differences. This has been shown hundreds of times as people complain that the extra phases don't help their card overclock because they can't get it cold enough. The extra memory phases will probably help get smoother memory operations though, having 2 compared to 1 on the reference cards.

People always tend to go grab an Asus or a MSI card, sometimes even a gigabyte.. And then when a warranty is needed, they come back, because a lot of the other brands don't allow their cooler to be removed.. It puts a huge damper in a purchase when a 3 year warranty gets tossed out of the window with a single screw.

Not to mention, the nightmare that is known as Asus customer service. If you want to play with that fire, feel free... I will never go through that.
