I have just purchased a NVIDIA EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 HYBIRD 12G Graphics Card (12G-P5-3968-KR) and i was wondering do i have to install the entire cooling system on to it or does it come already installed? What is actually required to install this gpu?

    it should come as a complete kit. if you are familiar with AIO (say you have one for your CPU) then its the same thing. you need to mount the radiator in addition to setting the GPU in its slot

    ok so i just mount the radiator and install the card into the slot. The only install manual i could find is for the kit only there is no manual for the hybrid card that comes with the kit.

    But... They even have a section in there that talks about mounting the radiator...
     
    1. To mount the radiator, it is recommended that the radiator be installed at a level above the HYBRID graphics card. This will reduce pump noise and the potential to create an air bubble in the loop.
     
    2. The radiator will fit mounting holes designed for a 120mm x 120mm case fan, but the radiator will need a mounting area of 120mm x 240mm (approximately two 120mm case fans).
     
    3. The default setting for the HYBRID’s radiator/fan is to blow through the radiator and outside the chassis. For that reason, we recommend installing the radiator at the top of the chassis. If you plan to mount the radiator at the front of the chassis, you may wish to consider moving the fans to the opposite side of the radiator before mounting.
     
    4. Make sure that you leave some slack in the tubing lines to prevent damage to the tubing or internal fittings. If the tubes are twisted too much or pulled too tightly, you may cause damage to the pump/radiator or cause the HYBRID kit to begin leaking.
     
    5. When ready, line-up the radiator with the mounting holes on the chassis. On the outside of the chassis use #11 washers and screws to fasten the radiator to the chassis
