EVGA has officially launched their GTX 1080 Ti HYBRID FTW3 graphics card. It comes with an all-in-one liquid cooling unit taking care of the GPU and active cooling for the VRMs. Although on paper this card only features a small factory overclock, it’s quite a bit quicker than NVIDIA's Founders Edition.



The GTX 1080 Ti HYBRID FTW3 has been equipped with a 120mm AIO cooler. Usually these “Hybrid” cards are based on a reference PCB but there is no precise information on that yet. While the standard blower-type fan takes care of the VRM and memory, the 120mm Asetek AiO only cools the GPU itself.

A quick look at the clock speeds reveals that the factory-overclocked EVGA GTX 1080 Ti HYBRID FTW3 works with 1556MHz/1670MHz Core/Boost clocks, while the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition is set to 1480MHz/1582MHz Core/Boost frequencies. Due to the capable cooler and the factory overclock, the GTX 1080 Ti HYBRID FTW3 will be a well performing graphics card.

In the case of power connectors there are two 8-pin PCIe power inlets. At the moment there aren't more details regarding the price of this graphics card. Since the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk X graphics card is available on Geizhals for 916 Euro, we expect a similar price for the EVGA model.
