im allocating funds with my latest paycheck and im wondering, do you think this card will be orderable within the next two weeks, or can i allocate my funds for software that i will need at some point in the near future. both this card and the software cost about the same

My guess is it's gonna be a solid month before you'll be able to "easily" get one.

Still disappointed that EVGA haven't gone the full water block route like gigabyte.

At least they have increased the size of the blower fan to the same as the ACX cooler.

Also wish they would finally implement fan control via precision for the radiator fan.

On my 980ti hybrid I installed noctua industrial 2000 rpm fans and I run them around 50% off my corsair commander and it's great.

Going to wait for the 1080 ti hybrid though, with AMD Vega going to be announced in a month or two which will match the Maxwell performance, I fully expect nvidia is keeping the 1080ti to release afterwards. Hopefully before Xmas.

I'm pretty sure the hybrid cooler or the 1080ti is going to be identical though, makes me consider maybe just building another custom loop and not having a 120mm fan/rad and blower in my system.

I edited my comment, I meant gigabyte not msi.

I agree, but I think a 140mm rad would be able to handle the cooling of all the components.

I just prefer 140mm fans in my case, I'm guessing the cost benefit isn't there though for EVGA to scale up to a larger rad and fan when it's just dissipating the GPU heat only.

At least they have went with the ACX fan this time rather than the stock blower so it should be quieter and cool the VRMs better.

Either way I'll def be buying the 1080 ti hybrid when it drops, I just can justify the 30% performance bump between the 980ti and the 1080 for the cost.

I'm hoping in a few months the 1080ti will bring that performance bump past the 50% mark.

I'm not sure a Ti would have anywhere to fit in with the performance from the current line up, since isn't the titan sitting exactly where the Ti would go, performance wise? They could theoretically squeeze in something between the titan and the 1080 I guess but there's so little room, it just seems like it would be a bit redundant this gen.
 
I'd agree on not upgrading from a 980Ti though, not a big enough jump, I'm coming from a 980 so got a nice boost to look forward to.

itsnt that exactly what happened with the 980, 980ti and titan x? the 980ti came out $400 less then the titan x but performed 99% as well (or better with an OC). so it seems like one could assume the same situation with the 1080 series. the 1080ti will come out in a year and make the XP looks like a purchase for those with too much money.

Parts lists have already confirmed there's a 1080 ti behind the scenes.

Nvidia are obviously waiting until AMD release Volta before releasing it.

There's def a space for the 1080 ti. As with previous releases it will drop the price of the 1080 slightly and come in at a performance somewhere between the Titan xp and 1080.

People were super pissed last year when the 980ti pretty much obsoleted the Titan lol.

does it take long to evga restock the 1080 Hybrid ? because im building my first pc and the only part missing is the 1080  (eu)

I preordered on the german EVGA site and nothing really happened. I think it will still take quite some time until new orders are allowed.

Ditto, but in Australia as well. Can't seem to find the hydro kit for sale anywhere except the mainsite which won't ship to me.
 
Desperate to maintain my seemingly board partner beating FE clocks without the noise ^^

GTX1080 FTW Hybrid installation completed.  Note that a fan guard is not included - I had to add one, which is an excellent idea should you install the radiator into a small form factor.  If not for the fan guard, my cabling inside this tiny case would prevent the radiator fan from spinning.

Another angle to show just how close the PCI-E power connectors are to the edge of the case wall.  Again, those 90-degree PCI-E power connector adapters paid for themselves.  You can buy them off eBay ;-)
 
And just for fun, my Titan XP compared to my EVGA GTX1080 FTW Hybrid
 
I had my Titan XP temporarily residing in this system until the Hybrid arrived.  Titan XP is back in the box until next weekend when the water block and backplate get installed into the main system and I wave bye bye to my two GTX980Ti cards :D

I got mine and found that the temps ran very high. Running Fallout 4 in 2560x1440 Ultra settings and I was hitting over 80c on it. Switched fan to other side to pull cool air from outside case and that had little effect. Tried stock fan and also Noctua 12F and still over 80. Plugged connector to motherboard and cranked fan to 100% and got into the mid-60's. Still not great. It seems the internal sensors just will not crank the fan up fast enough to keep the card cool. I was even getting 40-50c at idle. I don't think for a $700+ card we should have to manually crank up the rad fan every time we are going to play a game. This is essentially a gaming card and it should handle it on its own. I tried Speedfan as Jayz2cents recommended but it doesn't seem to recognize the fan rpm from my motherboard. Asus Z170-Deluxe.

Is there a way to tie in the onboard fan controller to the GPU temp to spin the fan up automatically when it gets hot? Any ideas? I'm really not impressed with these temps or maybe my card has a defective sensor. Thoughts?

Thanks

For those of you who have gotten the card already, how stiff have the tubes been? I'm looking to fit one into a corsair carbide 240 which would be pretty tight like Iluv2raceit's but maybe a few mm tighter, though only a 90-ish degree bend instead. Otherwise I would have to make do with fans :(
 
Just as a quick edit: My current card is listed as 126mm (2mm less than the hybrid) and have room spare for the power connectors to move around, but I'd hate to force a tube into some terrible angles.

You're already using it (speedfan)
 
40-50c at idle on a hybrid though? I'd return that. Wouldn't be surprised if major manufacturing problems were the reason these took so long to ship, sounds like they still haven't fixed whatever problems there were too..

Something is not right with that card. The pump might not be running. Those are temps for an air cooled card. I would RMA it.
 
For reference my Sea Hawk card idles at about 29C or 30C and at full load runs at around 50C, sometimes a little higher with more intensive games like The Witcher 3. And keep in mind I'm not cranking up my fan to keep it cooler either.
