That was single.
Free shipping was 3-7 (presumably business) days - they have 3-7 [business] days to get the card in your hands. They're clearly prioritizing overnight shipping orders (which sucks for us but it is what it is).
Looks like the stock cooler, mostly the stock fan profile, is pretty shitty. Vega has the right idea going straight to water/hybrid watercooling.
Bit of hyperbole there. I'm boosting to 1911 MHz in game in ARK with a pretty standard fan profile (yes, it does not support SLI natively). 63 C temps...I mean, c'mon. That's with a +140 MHz Core Clock OC in MSI Afterburner.

There's absolutely no need to water cool these cards. Do it for fun, sure.
I caved and bought this to replace my 980 Ti SLI setup. Most likely will be getting a second one down the road.
Dunno how demanding ARK is, I'm just going off of what I saw in the video. Maybe his card was somehow faulty? He tried it on Metro 2033 Last Light, his card also always instantly went to 84C, like all stock Nvidia cards do, they adjust the fan speed up to 50% to stay at that temp/below. How high is your fan speed cranked up to?
That is fine as long as they automatically upgrade the shipping speed to account for the fact that they aren't shipping immediately.
I guess I just don't have faith that they'll be doing this.

I've been using NVIDIA reference blowers since the GTX 580. If you properly cool your system and allow for adequate airflow - they're the ONLY choice for SLI. I have never felt that I have had a deficient setup due to the blower. I've used Lightning, Classified, and even Kingpin cards. They're fun but it's just "wasted money" - in the sense that you buy to have fun with it (much like water cooling) versus the actual performance gained. Fun to play with a binned card, for example.
Fantastic clean job there. Temps?I got mine today...but I am not a fan of blower style coolers. So I did this instead..
It is a EVGA GTX 1080 Hybrid Kit. Of course I had to do a couple modifications for it to fit.
1). Create a space for the six pin power connector.
2). Create a space for one of the phases that is not present on the 1080
Can you show and tell us what you did for number 2 (extra phase)?I got mine today...but I am not a fan of blower style coolers. So I did this instead..

I would be happy if they would just ship the one I ordered 2 days ago.
Good morning, I just placed my order for one of these and am having it overnighted so I will hopefully have it for the weekend. My question to you is how difficult was it to put the hybrid kit on? I was able to put the 980Ti shroud on my current Titan X, but I am a bit leery of trying it on this one. Is there anything that you would recommend I be mindful of or is it fairly straight forward? Thank you for any guidance.Got these babies all set up, time to dial in the overclocks for SLI.
What shipping did you guys use? I did 2 day.
Overnight Afternoon. This should give someone a chuckle. I ordered the card, saw the tax, saw the shipping and decided I was not willing to pay the extra $4.00 to have it sent first AM vs. afternoon.I used standard. Because I'm a moron and thought I could wait. Then I found this thread

So... still no email, but apparently it's already been shipped, in the country (UK), arrived at the local post office, and has been very kindly picked up by my mum on her daily walk this morning!
Just been round hers to pick it up, thanks mum! Love you.
Almost as much as...
And the crazy Peugeot van radiator that's now solely cooling my 4790K...
...and I reckon I'm gunna franken-mod an old Innovatek Geforce 2 Waterblock I still have lying around...
..but not today!
Wow, been a while since I've seen a full on custom (by this I mean, using auto-parts and plumbing supplies, not parts inteded for PC water cooling) setup.
Old skool.
And that's a 90p shampoo bottle sitting right next to that £1,099 graphics card.
No idea if you need to sign for it, I had mine delivered to my work.Do you guys at least get a shipping notice?? Have to sign for the package?

My tracking does not indicate that it has signature confirmation. Honestly, the only times I've had to sign for a package in the last 10 years or so, was when I ordered my Samsung JS9000 48" TV, and - for some reason - when my CPU waterblock was delivered from EK in Slovenia.
Usually everything is just left outside the door. At first this made me uneasy, but I've never had anything stolen (knock on wood)...
Its much more convenient this way, because back in the bad old days when everything required a signature, they would always come when I was at work, and I never got my packages directly. Had to wait until the next day when I could pick it up 20 miles away at the distribution center, because if they retried delivery, I still wouldn't be at home, because they only used to deliver during business hours.
it's like they expected anyone who ordered anything online to be unemployed or something. Pissed me the hell off. If they were going to offer residential service, they shoulddeliver packages outside of normal business hours when people are home.
Or you could, you know, have it delivered at work.
Mine did not require a signature. Honestly, I'd prefer it did - over $2K of hardware just sitting on your doorstep. Luckily we were home.
I never thought of doing that. It somehow fels wrong to use company resources for personal use. Is this typical? In my 15 years in a professional capacity I've never done it.
I mean, incoming and receiving have enough work without having to deal with employees personal packages...

After I had $600 of snowboarding equipment stolen from my condo while I was home a while back I used to ship everything to work. They never complained, but I worked at a pretty chill local software company then. I doubt it's a problem, just ask.I never thought of doing that.
