EVGA Launches GeForce GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid

While there are many excellent custom air-cooled 1080 card on the market, there is love for liquid and hybrid cooling like we have shown in the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Sea Hawk X review. Evga today has released their hybrid liquid cooled solution as well.

They just released it's Hybrid model. The unit is AIO cooled. The closed-loop liquid cooler will be toed towards a 120 mm x 120 mm radiator. The card hauls power from a two 8-pin PCIe power connectors which indicates that EVGA uses the same PCB as the GTX 1080 FTW (which would make total sense).

The card will get 1721 / 1860 MHz base/boost freqencies and is listed having a 215 Watt Max power Draw. With such cooling there is bound to be less throttling and you may expect the product as such to hover in the 1.9~2.0 GHz on that boost clock. The memory is kept at a reference clock frequency, an effective 10000 MHz on that snazzy Micron GDDR5X graphics memory. Looking at the product we do have to admit, it is impressive alright, and it does keep that Pascal GP104-400 GPU cooled at under 50 Degrees C whilst remaining whisper silent. 

The card is listed at $729.99, EVGA is giving away $115 worth in-game credit with Epic Games' upcoming MOBA title "Paragon" with this card (well actually Nvidia is).
