EVGA GTX 1080 Classified, Hybrid, & FTW | Computex

2016-05-31
hey run we're at Computex 2016 in the EVGA suite and now we're looking at some of the new 10 80s and 10 70s from EVGA so we've got the classified which is this massive one there's an FTW which is off-screen actually an SC and then the hybrid which I'm just gonna say we built one of these but this one does look a lot better so before we get into that all this coverage is brought to you by MSI and the new x99 motherboards for Broadwell II so let's talk about the classified first this one is the obvious monster of the group it is priced to be determined the power set up is to 8 pins pretty crazy and this actually plugs into the top of it this is a power link and all this does is power management or cable management stuff so you plug that in the top and then it routes the cables out the side instead of at the top so if you're crazy about cable management that's really all that does power phases it's a 14 plus 3 phase setup so it's three phases for the memory 14 for the core vrm and that makes it the most extreme vrm we've looked at so far this show power to 8 pins on the top gives you somewhere the 250 300 range again maybe a little more and there is a custom v bios that we're not sure on the voltage limitations right now we'll have to attach that later classified again is price TBD the ftw which is off screen here is a 10 plus 2 face setup and is actually basically the same card as in this hybrid so when I talk about FTW in hybrid they're pretty much the same spec except for the liquid cooler which is the important part of course and that's a 10 plus 2 phase it's got an extra power header on top as well just like the classified does and that gives you more room in theory for overclocking as long as the voltage is more flexible than reference and then the hybrid card has the ACE attack cooler on it so it's got a nice deck cooler down here on the core cables route out through the top of the shroud and the shroud is the updated metal shroud from EVGA that shipped after the initial launch of the 980ti hybrid so that in terms of thermals we have actually tested this I can talk about it now we were seeing about an 18 degrees Celsius Delta ambient or Delta versus ambient temperature for the hybrid card on the 1080 and as opposed to 50 something 53 I think Celsius maybe 54 for the reference 1080 is a pretty big difference there and definitely helps with the thermal throttling we were seen on the clock rate at certain temperatures and with certain games the SC card is this one here this is the cheaper card it's a 100 megahertz offset from the reference version of the 1080 and that gives you a bit higher clock rate but it's cheaper so it sells at 650 this is one of the only ones we have a price on 650 for this that puts it below $50 below reference and it's the only difference really is the a CX 3.0 cooler it still got the normal 8 pin power header there's no extra header on there and it's pretty standard card the a CX 3.0 updates will post in the article linked in the description below but the main one is the heat pipes of the Capri heat pipes usually have a small gap around them because they're round and so that small gap has been filled in by a copper or similar metal to help improve thermal conductivity around the perimeter of the heat pipes the FTW 1080 is priced at 680 dollars that's 650 that's TBD this is TBD and then we've got this which is also a TBD price but it's got the ECX 3.0 cooler it's an S C version so basically reference but probably cheaper and a better cooler definitely so that sums up EVGA is sweet here at Computex 2016 as always it more information linked below for article coverage or hit the art hit the channel link and check out the previous videos from other video card vendors thank you for watching patreon link emotional video I'll see you all next time
