EVGA Teases the GeForce GTX 1080 Hybrid

EVGA will give the GeForce GTX 10 series its signature liquid+air "Hybrid" cooling treatment, beginning with the GeForce GTX 1080 Hybrid. The company teased the first picture of the card, which reveals the company's latest version of the cooling solution, which combines an AIO liquid cooling block tasked with cooling the GPU, with a fan-heatsink to take care of the card's memory and VRM. The closed-loop liquid cooler will be plumbed to a 120 mm x 120 mm radiator. The card draws power from a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors, so it's likely that EVGA is using the same PCB as the GTX 1080 FTW.

A little too late. Why don't they come out earlier, at the same time as the reference cards. I got Asus Strix instead. I wanted this but I just couldnt wait.

that is right, and AMD Vega would be the reward for a virtue.

AKA a waste of money because heat isn't the issue with the 1080's.
It's weak dies that don't overclock for crap, while the good dies are saved only for kingpin editions..
So will this help? Not much I bet.. My temps on an ACX 3.0 are so low, liquid is completely unnecessary.

Well this would be solid for the Titan X pascal

indeed, but that would make it a 2000$ card, something i find ridiculous. not to say that people who would buy it would mind the added cost. tbh Nvidia has done a very good job with the thermals, so good that it has made lc a bit irrelevant.

My old DCII gtx680, strix 980 and acx gtx780 werent as hot as my strix gtx1080. It gets 70C at 70% Fan. My previous cards were cooler at that point. I am pretty sure gtx1080 produces more heat/ die surface that any other card.

have you checked the cooler? it might be mounted improperly or the t. paste might not be enough or properly applied. its a bit weird for a 1080 to have those temps (assuming its not an fe).

my strix 1080 and 1060's both will get hotter than that while crunching. overclock + near 100% gpu utilization 24/7 and they get hot. playing doom at 1440 not so much.

Nicest GTX1080 on market is EVGA GTX1080 FTW Hybrid.
She have everything what one gamer who can't afford watercooling want.
Performance, Low Temp, Cool look. Even 8+8pin sound much better than single 8pin.

I'm curious why ASUS didn't present GTX1080 Poseidon or they have more information about NVIDIA Pascal GV chips/GTX1080Ti.
