EVGA Released GeForce GTX 970 HYBRID Graphics Card
The EVGA HYBRID line is now available on GeForce GTX 970. The EVGA GeForce GTX 970 HYBRID GAMING is an "all in one" water cooling solution that lowers the GPU operating temperature. The water cooler is completely self-contained, with an included 120mm radiator and fan.
Of course, the GeForce GTX 970 HYBRID GAMING is also powered by the next-generation NVIDIA Maxwell architecture, giving you incredible performance, unmatched power efficiency, and cutting-edge features. Maxwell is the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next-generation gaming. Inspired by light, it was designed to solve some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing.
Key Features:
- Built on Maxwell - The EVGA GeForce GTX 970 HYBRID features the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next-generation gaming.
- Hydro Performance without the Hassle - All in one cooling solution that is completely self-contained. No filling, no custom tubing, no maintenance. Just plug and play.
- Sleek Looks - Intelligent wiring system and sleeved tubing make this one sleek cooler without the messy wires.
- Copper Base - Designed for the GTX 970 and provides maximum heat transfer.
- Virtually Silent Operation - Variable controlled fans allow dynamic fan speed based on GPU temperature, and the water cooling efficiency means very low noise fans.
- Built in Radiator and Fan - Helps dissipate the heat by keeping the GPU as cool as possible. Fan can also be swapped or customized.
- Cooling for VRM and Memory - VRM and Memory cooling solution separated from GPU, allowing for lowest GPU temperatures, and efficient VRM and Memory cooling.
For more information, visit the product page. The product has
- 1664 CUDA Cores
- Base Clock: 1140 MHz
- Boost Clock: 1279 MHz
Funny to see how they do not mention the RAM amount in the press release :)

First post had to be something with Asetek and fees
OT: Looks pretty cool, wonder if you'll gain anything from the lower temps though. My cards do 1550/2050 each on air with a max temp of 76c.
Perhaps EVGA remembered to pay their Asetek licensing fees, unlike some others...

These 900 series cards all have too many Nvidia restrictions using water or air cooling is very pointless.

I'd expect it to be similar with the 970 model, too.

What I really like on my EVGA Titan X Hybrid is that the card hardly ever reaches 40°C when under full load (which is rather good improvement compared to the 83°C the stock air cooler lets it reach before the thing throttles) and doesn't throttle at all even when overclocked considerably, thus the other components on the card and inside the PC as well as the room the PC is in doesn't heat up as much.

No it's not, and why is air cooling pointless? You expect them to be passive?
I modded my cards so they could draw more power and IIRC even modded the boost tables on both cards, so what limitations?
@Cave WaveRider:
Yeah that sounds like a true advantage, stock coolers almost always suck unless you can mod the BIOS. Nvidia stock coolers are at least less crappy than the AMD ones.
