The price hike makes me think my 1080 Ti will do just fine without the Hybrid kit.

Every day that passes I feel better about not buying the EVGA FE card. This kit is the only thing that would have made it a good purchase at a later time. But never at this price.

Honestly the more i think about it I think i might just return my FE
Including tax/shipping going to cost like 900+ for FE/Hybrid i think im all set MSI just released specs for their Ti sea hawk X so just matter of time before that is released.
thinking of doing the same imo.
yes i was hoping for asus 1080ti Hybrid.

I think we should all rebel and purchase the EK AIO kit when it is released. Price gouging is not okay. Heck, it sounding like you might be able to pick your rad size with the EK kit, in which case I would definitely go for a 240 or 280 rad for my 1080ti. If a single rad with a piss poor fan from evga can get down to 55c, then a rad double the size with proper fans should manage <40c no problem.
That is what I am doing. I was totally hyped about the kit until EVGA (Josh and mods alike) started this tomfoolery. Hell, I was even willing to make due with the legacy kit and just forgo the shroud. However, after seeing the way EVGA treats concerned customers I am hesitant to buy anything else with their name on it again. Not only are we being fed BS about why the cost changed (twice now), but I have also seen on multiple threads that mods side step the issue and in another case, even recommend attempting a solution that would void the warranty on a brand new card; they feel they are indemnified because they disclosed that it would void the warranty in the advise....yeah...shady indeed/
Thinking along the same lines. Ordered the legacy kit after seeing the price of the updated kit, but I'm considering refusing delivery and not going that route either.

I was kinda looking forward to getting 2 of these. The price : performance just doesn't work for me though. I've considered going back to a custom loop, but just don't have the time or energy to keep up with the maintenance. As is, getting 1900mhz OC on stock air now. Temps stay below 70 & fans max out at 70% even after a few hours gaming. The noise is tolerable since I game with headphones. I may swap out the TIM just for S's & giggles. IDK.

I will buy one, but I am concerned trying to get one is going to be next to impossible - I have a job to go to and a young daughter to look after - I can't sit here hitting F5 all day hoping I snag one in the few minutes they are available before being sold out (as we have seen with EVGA products many many times before). There clearly is very significant demand although the price may drive some away, but EVGA have said it's a limited run (this was the given reason for the price hike), so therefore it may be months before we can get our hands on one - and maybe never if the stock is as limited as they insinuate.
Said it before - EVGA desperately need a good production planner, or if they have one already, they need to replace him/her lol!

You know, I am genuinely curious how much potential business has been lost from this kerfuffle. "hue hueeee lets jack up the price $60.00 because, you know, reasons". How many units are no longer going to be sold due to this very obvious gouging?
Also, there has been talking about how this benefits scalpers and I feel that it needs to be said why companies in general (EVGA or otherwise) just do not care about scalpers. The truth is that the product is moving...that is the only thing that matters to them. They do not care if you, their customer has to pay +50 or +500 because they already have their money for their product.
Unfortunately, federal law limits what aby company can do about scalpers. Once a product is sold, the buyer can do what they want with it. Now, Amazon could attempt to Crack down in these people. For example, they could actually verify that 3rd party sellers are legit and not just take their word for it. They could also not allow such inflated prices. They have to know the MSRP as they sell the cards directly themselves and could either not allow giant markups or make it clear to the buyer what the MSRP is supposed to be. But in the end, most buyers don't check these things as Amazon doesn't highlight the 3rd party seller very well. They could make the seller info much larger on the page, but I doubt it'll make much difference.
I'm not being political in any way, but i am related to at least 1 of the founding fathers of this country, so i'll just say this............. This Country, no matter what kind of person you are, most of us hate to admit the reality that this is a Capitalist run country, when we created this country we didn't know it would get this out of control with how Companies can gouge good citizens, most people don't have a lot of money, but this country Is a Capitalist society unfortunately. In Defense of Evga: If Evga did raise their their prices, which of yesterday i did Not see their Price raised for the Hybrid, although i might be locked in because of Auto-Notify. But, facts are facts with any Company, that when too many people are going after a "certain product" then the prices can be raised according to "Supply and demand". So, if any of the prices of any product is changed in cases like the 'Supply and demand' that happens, then Companies can adjust to that demand.

They have Never ever kept us in the dark about Anything, in fact the only way anyone can rightfully make that accusation is only if a Product went bad and then never was responsible enough to tell their consumers if they planned to ever help said effected consumers in any with compensation. 2 totally different things. i should know i used to have my own business before personal issues took me out of my own business. I know how this works heheh. in Reality, Evga has actually been very forthcoming and gone beyond what most other major Corporations do. Some don't bother to announce any product til' the day it is put on the shelves or on the Internet and by then the people have a major right to call foul over those kind of relations.

Actually, it's a $40.00 increase, but it is not really any rip-off or gouging at all, in fact if everyone looks at the Product page link for Cooling products, then everyone will notice that this cost is not more in cost to other Big Cooling products that they are also carrying. I just got the Evga 1080 FTW Hybrid just because of the fact that all past Reference Gpu's, even be it 5+ or more years ago could easily get too hod and loud for my comfort. So, there is always another option if you have the money and know someone that can Mod the Hybrids or Water-coolers if you can't do it yourself of course. Mine is supposed to be installed tomorrow, unless my Water-House pipes get worse, and i pray to God it won't get worse here.

To funny. Drop big money on a high end gpu and wont pay an extra 50-60 bucks on the kit. Peanuts. So what if they raised the price. They will sell just fine with or with out people buying that are complaining about it.
It's one thing to release it at $179.99...They released it at $119.99 then raised the price.
It was an Admin Mistake, Evga never really raised the price to $179.00, but was raised to 159.00. Big difference, so don't post a lie please, because facts are lies do create Chaos.

I'm not sure why you're using the word lies, when in fact it was originally listed for $119.99 for quite some time then suddenly the price WAS increased to $179.99. Sometime AFTER complaints were raised they then said it was a mistake and reduced the price to the $159.99. So, lets not increase the chaos by trying to gloss over what actually happened.

I used the word lie because Evga-Jacob, himself said on Twitter that that was not the right price and was a huge mistake by an Admin. Jacob said the price was going up on Twitter, but the 179.00 was a huge mistake, which Evga-Jacob had corrected. For anyone to keep saying that it was meant to be at 179.00 would really be a lie that only creates more hate and chaos, especially on the Forums here, that i think is unjustly needed here and anywhere else. Everything always get blown out of proportion on anything on this site already as is.

I don't think Evga had any idea how many people nowadays would want and feel the need to have that Titan X/ 1080Ti hybrid. I haven't seen this many people go wanting a Hybrid so much in my life that i remember. I think Evga didn't make enough because like people like me didn't think so many new people would also be willing to shell out that much just right after or even before the 1080Ti's got to the Public.

Are you *REMOVED Re-read the TOS before you decide to do that again* me? People have been begging and pleading for the past YEAR for a titan XP hybrid kit. EVGA knows good and well what the demand for this is and the fact they are the only one who would offer this for a mass release as such would be stupid but to throw that thing into full production; unless you hate money. Here is the score. The pump is the exact same as the other kits...so that cost wont change...the changes on the shroud are minimal at best; two extra cuts. The midplate has to have a bit more changed but it is a subtractive change that would cost next to nothing to implement. Also, regarding the cost...if you look back at the forums, you will see EVGA mods trying to argue the 179 markup was justified...it wasnt until a few hours later that whats-his-face was like "nooo it was an error, 159.99 is the real price". What? It had been up on the site for almost two weeks...now, i don't run a business, but leaving a price of for two weeks is a little bit more than a "whoops, my bad". ESPECIALLY when you have people updating that page and looking at it every other day. So yeah, the poo EVGA is trying to sling is not sticking...not in the slightest.

My other post was deleted well the Thread was.
Anyway here what I posted to show the difference between them.
Yes, the functionally identical to the 5188 model but with a hefty price increase due to erm... costs and erm....limited run. That doesn't make sense given the huge demand they have know existed for these for months and months.
I don't think Evga had any idea how many people nowadays would want and feel the need to have that Titan X/ 1080Ti hybrid. I haven't seen this many people go wanting a Hybrid so much in my life that i remember. I think Evga didn't make enough because like people like me didn't think so many new people would also be willing to shell out that much just right after or even before the 1080Ti's got to the Public.
Are you *REMOVED Re-read the TOS before you decide to do that again* me? People have been begging and pleading for the past YEAR for a titan XP hybrid kit. EVGA knows good and well what the demand for this is and the fact they are the only one who would offer this for a mass release as such would be stupid but to throw that thing into full production; unless you hate money. Here is the score. The pump is the exact same as the other kits...so that cost wont change...the changes on the shroud are minimal at best; two extra cuts. The midplate has to have a bit more changed but it is a subtractive change that would cost next to nothing to implement.
Also, regarding the cost...if you look back at the forums, you will see EVGA mods trying to argue the 179 markup was justified...it wasnt until a few hours later that whats-his-face was like "nooo it was an error, 159.99 is the real price". What? It had been up on the site for almost two weeks...now, i don't run a business, but leaving a price of for two weeks is a little bit more than a "whoops, my bad". ESPECIALLY when you have people updating that page and looking at it every other day. So yeah, the poo EVGA is trying to sling is not sticking...not in the slightest.

So for the 1080 Hybrid kit shroud to fit a 1080 ti FE does it just need a dremel on that one piece for the power or does it need even more modding? I wouldn't mind saving 40 bucks and the hassle if all it takes is to dremel that one piece... I also saw where the Gamers Nexus guy plugged the pump and rad fan into the GPU but isn't that bad for the pump to be connected to a variable speed fan header? I was under the impression that its always best to plug the pump directly into the PSU... or at least a fan header at 100% with no variable.

Honestly the more i think about it I think i might just return my FE
Including tax/shipping going to cost like 900+ for FE/Hybrid i think im all set MSI just released specs for their Ti sea hawk X so just matter of time before that is released.
thinking of doing the same imo.
They seem be to out now place in Denmark received stock so should be very soon. https://www.reddit.com/r/...ed_their_msi_shipment/

There are one or two other mods that need to be done to the shroud inside to make it fit, nothing too much different from what you need to do to open up the side for the extra power connector. As a general rule of thumb, yes. However, in this case that's the way it is designed to work, and adjusting the speed of the fan doesn't seem to impact pump operation. I grabbed a used 1080 Hybrid kit, and even with the fan locked at 30% the pump still runs full swing....I know because it makes a slight buzzing noise that some users have fixed by modding the fan to run at a lower speed. Temp-wise also bears it out as even OC'd and with a single ML120 fan at 600rpm (plugged into mobo PWM header and controlled via speedfan to ramp up based on GPU temps, but so far it doesn't ramp up at all) on the rad I can't get this thing to go above 60C (usually hovers around 57-58). Another note....you only have to mod the Hybrid shroud if you want to use it. Several other members as well as myself went the route of just removing the top of the shroud and fan cover, using tweezers to get at the wires (really not difficult), then installing the pump aligned with the tubes towards the rear of the case, then putting the shroud and fan cover back on (to go this route you need to slip the pump through the top shroud cover BEFORE you install the pump, and remove the top cover of the pump itself and everything will fit back together). Retains the cool look of the FE design, but with the added benefit of watercooling AND no Dremel needed! Took about 45 minutes to do, but at least ten minutes of that was dealing with screws scattered around by a curious feline.
