Looking at Q2 2017 for 1080TI. Quite a ways out. I will be getting two Titan XPs. Just waiting for the hybrid kits now. Just disappointed by the approach Nvidia is taking currently. In an ideal scenario for enthusiasts who don't want a custom loop, we would get a custom PCB Titan XP with the EVGA FTW Hybrid style cooler. Unfortunately, that won't happen. One can dream though...
Yes it's strange how NVidia kept the Titan XP to themselves, and didn't offer a hybrid option to a card that would so clearly benefit from it. I've had mine a few days now, and although the fan noise isn't too bad, the temperatures are certainly a lot higher than my 980Ti reached when performing the same tasks / games etc.. Here's hoping EVGA get their Titan XP Hybrid cooler out sooner rather than later - I'd gladly pre-order and pay in full for it right now if it would help speed things along.
