hmm it wont let me post links for some reason
but goo . gl / pJJVNp
 
i cancelled my FTW and went for this

u sure thats real?
i do see pre-order but...the hybrids arnt out yet .-.

Anyone looked at the Gigabyte version of xtreme water cooled? 
 

It's a very interesting GPU called the Waterforce. No fan on the card itself but it's 100% liquid cooled.
 
Power delivery is robust with 12+2 phases and dual 8 pin PCI power connectors.
 
 
 
Core
Boost: 1936 MHz / Base: 1784 MHz in OC mode
Boost: 1898 MHz / Base: 1759 MHz in Gaming mode
 
Memory Clock
OC mode: 10416 MHz
Gaming mode: 10211 MHz
 
4 year warranty
 
EVGA has some work to do.
 
I might have to take a closer look at this one.
 

I am really considering this Gigabyte card if EVGA does not soon launch their 1080 Hybrid. Also the Gigabyte is more interesting since its 100% water cooled.

The 100% water cooled is a nice touch. Last years version looked like it was just slapped together quickly and put up for sale. This years version though looks like a well thought out quality unit. Honestly, for me it's between the Gigabyte and EVGA.

You didn't even wait single review before decision. You will buy first model.
That mean if someone hurry and launch product no matter on negative sides and unfinished product you will pay him.
At least 2-3 review for GIGABYTE and 2-3 review for EVGA's model. 
It's much easier when you pay to discover alone negative side and think Why I didn't look better...
 
I want to see how much is exactly cooler and is it really cooler VRM on GIGABYTE,
how much is overclocked EVGA, Package, temp of graphic processor, news about Vega, news about GTX1080Ti...
 
It's different when I knew that Rampage Black will be better with newer features and I wait strictly here some time, but I didn't want to buy expensive Extreme chipset 10-12 months before new socket with 1600 pins more and new chipset with 20 PCI-E lanes and than I decide to buy earlier normal version. But you still don't know what will happen when reviews compare them. TPU will compare all GTX1080 models and you will nicely recognize performance, noise, temperature difference. OC you shouldn't look because that's pure luck. GIGABYTE talk about some 2.3GHz after manual OC I don't believe in single words when we talk about warranty for overclocking.

Only around 10 sites could give proper and fair testing where you could compare graphic cards... Not someone who get single card or buy single card.
I expect words from people who during season test 10-15 models even from AMD and all of them are compared in same games on all resolutions in same condition, ambient temps, etc...
If I compare someone who test card  and now is winter is there and other who live on Hawaii than I will not look on 2-3C difference as crucial factor for purchase cooler model.
I know I will not make mistake if I buy EVGA Hybrid... except if AMD launch 10% stronger card for 200$ less and NVIDIA show up with 40% stronger for same money as GTX1080 and EVGA launch GTX1080Ti Hybrid.

100% watercooled is a nice touch, EVGA should've already had this with their advantage of the Hybrid.
BUT, we'll see.

Wow I'm sorry to say this but that Gigabyte Hybrid model looks like it has the Evga Hybrid beat. This may actually be the first non EVGA GPU I've gotten in the past decade. These are the differences I'm seeing:
 
Gigabyte cools not only the GPU but the memory & mofsets (full liquid cooling not just a hybrid).
Gigabyte has 12+2 power phase versus 10+2 on the FTW/Hybrid
1936mhz boost on Gigabyte versus 1860 on the FTW/Hybrid
Gigabyte even has memory overclock as well when we know EVGA doesn't touch that ever
Both have 2x8 power pins
 
The EVGA one does look a lot better but I grew up out of the matching/cool looking interior phase long ago.
 
Evga model probably has better warranty and also will eventually have the quick disconnect system but not something needed on a GPU that doesn't go past 50c anyway on AIO water cooling.

EVGA better step up their game

Sure, the Gigabyte looks good on paper, but it is ugly as sin and the Hybrid will likely be every bit as good. What I am waiting to see are the prices. 
 
Not worried about 100% watercooled vs air on the mosfets, since the PCB is going to be overkill, and so will be the air cooling when ALL of my hot air is exhausted out of the case. The only components adding heat to the air flowing around in my case will be CPU's mosfets, the South Bridge controller on the MoBo, the HDDs and the RAM plus any add on boards you may have like raid controllers, etc. None of that stuff gets hot *aside from some RAID controlers and other cards, but with cases like mine and likely all of yours if you are posting here, dissipating that heat will be a laughing matter. Plus with side panel intakes like I have the Hybrid gets fresh air... and the fan is big, so quiet
 
I'm glad to wait until I see a couple of trustworthy --comparison reviews-- not single reviews.

Exactly how did you come to the conclusion that the Gigabyte Waterforce is fully water cooled, i.e. full cover block? As far as I know, it's just an extended copper plate that reaches on top of the VRAM and VRM, and only the GPU that has direct water flow, just like their 980 Ti model of the Waterforce. I'd want to see in depth pictures and reviews of this, before I believe it. 

Just look at the pictures bro. The copper plate on the Evga hybrids just covers the GPU core only. This one extends out on all sides to hit the memory and more on the right of the card to hit the mofsets. There isn't even a fan inside the card which EVGA uses to cool all that extra stuff. This is straight up an entire GPU water block but in the AIO package.

Edit: yes there isn't water flowing throughout the whole thing so it won't beat an EK block or something but it's still just better than just the GPU core only. This will beat the Evga solution and I'm saying that with sadness.

Yeah so? It's still not fully water cooled, it's just a copper plate that has direct contact with the water block, but that still doesn't make it a full cover water block. There is no water flowing over the VRAM og mosfets. And it's not really going to make a huge difference from the EVGA Hybrid, if any at all.

I like what Gigabyte is doing with the Waterforce though. Copper is the preferred cold plate material for cooling systems. Like most metals however, copper doesn't hold heat for very long, it needs to be absorbed by something else. Water is the best liquid for holding heat. And, it is also the best for transferring it. It's basic Heat Transfer and it happens to work well. Obviously a full water block would have been the ideal solution but that is what EK is for.
 
More than likely, you are correct. The differences will be minimal but the more options for we as customers the better.

Yeah sure. I don't mind it being fanless at all, I guess I'm just not too hyped about the design of the shroud on the graphics card. It isn't very neutral like EVGA's seem to be.

I agree here.
I think its great that evga gets competition,but the rgb LED kills it for me when it comes to gpu's. 
I also like the vga card to be neutral in color schemes.I accidently got a black and white theme going on in my case,but I want a gpu that is powerful,but yet very cooled. I dont care for OC so the stock temps on idle and under load has to be lowest as possible when it comes to aio solution.
and since seahawk 1080 was little overclocked and there have higher temps than evga 1080 hybrid I think I will go for the hybrid. But since the hybrid comes in stock that suits me better.
But if the temps on the 1080 isnt lower or the same as fury x I will try 980ti and or maybe I will buy back the fury X.
