If I get anything... I'll be waiting for the Hybrid. Love the one Corsair made for the 1080Ti, my MSI SeaHawk is so quiet under a 2,000MHz corespeed
Honestly I find any of the triple fan models were extremely quiet. I thought about getting one of the hybrids but the extra premium they were charging just didn't seem worth it.
I got the SeaHawk at base MSRP for the 1080Ti, right as prices started to skyrocket last year- I agree that I wouldn't have paid much more for it, and I'll be watching holiday sales to see what I can grab.
As far as noise, I'd bet that the triple-fan units are pretty quiet, I just felt that it was easier to dump all of that heat out of the case. With the liquid cooler at least I know that the card is no longer thermally limited, and no matter what I do (room stays <=72f) it stays quiet.
Dumping the video card heat is a definite concern to me, as I've always had cards with "blowers" before. I'm currently working on my pc to ensure improved airflow when using the 2080Ti. I switched from water to air about 10 years ago, but I might have to consider going back to water. My pc runs 24/7/365, so I'm more comfortable with air.
Generally it's not that big of a deal provided that there is a decent 'airflow channel' inside the case, as I've done it before. It's just something else to work around whereas the hybrid coolers are set and forget.
Yeah the MSI Gaming X Trio uses 2 8s and a 6Interesting how they cap the plugs on the power. Is there a more powerful variant?
They're giving us the greatest GPU ever created. Worth it.Let's not lose sight of what nV is gifting with us here.
Do any of you guys agree with me in that nVidia has created a "fake" price for the new Ti cards? They are all selling for $1200USD, even for the most basic cards like the Asus Turbo model. I thought the MSRP was $1000USD. What's with the $200 increase? It reminds me of what happened with Vega, only worse. I'm surprised and disappointed to see nVidia doing this.
MSRP and SEP are suggested pricing to move product and make a nominal profit. Prices go up from there as AIB manufacturers have to account for their own costs, and resellers adjust the price as supply & demand changes.Yes, it is very similar to Vega and people complained then too. I think it's kind of deceptive to claim an MSRP but then have no cards at that price.
Probably they are banking on enthusiasts paying whatever price for the first few batches, which are clearly selling out, and then lower the prices once stock isn't an issue.
I understand, but this dynamic doesn't typically happen with other tech products. For example, when Apple announces a price for a new iPhone, you can buy it at that exact price all over.MSRP and SEP are suggested pricing to move product and make a nominal profit.

Regarding the AIB cards being $1200 even the crappy ones.. You can blame AIB and newegg, etc. for that... perhaps AMD as well for having nothing that can even touch the mid end. XD

Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them.
Following that, the average high prices for high-end gear during the mining craze informs marketing officers. And the reality is that if they're hitting their sales numbers at these prices, then they're priced appropriately- if they sell out, the price is too low (!!!), and if stock moves slowly, they'll have to readjust.
I'm still surprised that people seem shocked about an early-adopter tax.
The cooler is worth the price diff alone. Look how massive it is. Way taller. Will cut noise WAY down.It’s sexy but for that price I need to see some kind of review showing improvement lol.
The die is 50% larger than the Titan X. If power limit allows it could put out a ton of heat.
Yeah difference is that retailers used to jack up the price at launch. Now it’s nvidia. Makes sense if you’re nvidia but end result is the same.
Something is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. You are right Flexion , Nvidia saw what people were willing to pay and priced accordingly.
what time does the review embargo lift?
