Question 1

Im building a computer and using windows 10. it says not compatible but will it still work? and when would you think it'll work with windows 10?

Accepted Answer

I literally installed Windows 10 home less than 18 hours ago!

Yes, the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 TI HYBRID will work with Windows 10.  The operating system with near completion when Nvidia released the 980 TI;  you can draw the conclusion that the two will be roughly compatible because they were near the same release time.

Another way to check compatibility is to look for drivers for the operating system in question through the manufacturer's website.

It does work though, I used some of it's features last night and some games I played, including dynamic super resolution.

Question 2

Did the package include a display port cable?

Accepted Answer

The GTX 980 TI Hybrid does not come with a display port cable. I had to order one separate since I use a multiple monitor setup.

Question 3

Is the cooling brick attached to the card in the box? Or do you have to install it to the card yourself?

Accepted Answer

It is all set up right in the box, and no further set up is required. Simply plug it in your preferred PCI Express x16 slot, and mount the radiator fan to your preferred location in the case and you're ready to go!

Question 4

Just went through a lot of Q&A's and still haven't seen this asked.. If it is liquid cooled then why the fan on the board still? I assume cooling power components? Looks like it still pulls from inside and vents outside? Anyone open this up and look at airflow?

Debating at this or the the EVGA 4996-KR...

Accepted Answer

The reason for the internal fan is to cool the VRAM. There needs to be airflow over the components for it to prevent overheating. I would highly recommend these! I have this in SLI in my NODE 804 (Micro-ATX). The cooling potential for these are ridiculous and just plain worth it. I dont worry at all about these heating up even being in the tiny case. Don't think twice about getting this as it is just a plain performance cooling option. During normal operation the cards are sitting around 30C and during Ultra BF4 everything maxed out I dont get higher than 55C on either card.

You can feel confident that the card is more than capable of cooling as well as stable.

Question 5

is it worth it to get this coming from a EVGA 770 GTX or should i wait for the pascall series of GPU to drop in march?

Accepted Answer

Without knowing what exactly you plan on doing with the card, all I can say is that, I upgraded from a Crossfire 6970 to a single GTX 980 Ti Hybrid, and it's been worth every penny so far. I never realized how buggy the ATI drivers were, or how much heat those cards put out until I got this. My room stays much cooler and quieter now. I've played MWLL (a pretty GPU intensive mod for Crysis), StarCraft 2, ran a FurMark bench test so far, and there is a noticeable difference. The highest I've seen the card at is 43 C in game with everything maxed out; AA and AF at 1920 x 1080. 65C during the Furmark. My 6970's idled there most days... This 980, with the default settings would idle at about 35 C. With maxed out NVidia control panel settings, I usually idle 38-41 C peak. It's great card in my opinion, and one I plan on using for at least the next 3-4 years with the way it's performing now. If you were going to wait, I'd only do so to see if the price drops on 980 Ti. With the way these things go, I'd be surprised if the performance would be worth that launch price tag.

Question 6

Is this package sealed wrapped in plastic???

Accepted Answer

Yes.

It comes in a brown cardboard box with minor description.  Inside that box is the EVGA box sealed in plastic.

You should also have to break perimeter seals to open each of those boxes.

Once opened the card itself is enclosed in anti-static wrap and the radiator/fan assembly is wrapped with a plastic sleeve.  All interior items are nestled in foam.

Question 7

Anybody worried about the water cooling dying after 2-3 years? I'm living in an 82F apartment with no AC so I need to go with water cooling for an SLI set (yes I want to use it for more than 3 years). 
Can the cooler itself be replaced manually at home, or if the cooling dies after 3 years I'm done?

Accepted Answer

This comes with a 3 year warranty. You don't have to worry about it for a maximum of 3 years! It's hard to tell if it'll die on you in 3 years time due to the fact that we can't look into the future, but in 3 years from now the latest and greatest will be different. I'm certain you can replace the kit (you can buy the kit alone from newegg). You don't have to worry about it.

P.S. I doubt you'll have any trouble unless it is faulty.

Question 8

Can this 908ti hybrid be sli'ed with a non hybrid 980ti?

Accepted Answer

Yes. But why would you? You would pick up the hybrid due to aio liquid cooling. If you sli it with non liquid, you would defile the point of having a hybrid.

All gtx 980 ti should able to sli together. However you should really sli the same card. I think it would take the lesser clock speed if you sli with different version of the card.

Question 9

What color is this card? Is it the black and white design or gold and black and if I want to remove the hoses / radiator in the future will I be able too?

Accepted Answer

My EVGA GEFORCE GTX 980 Ti HYBRID is gold and black.  It is the reference design, rather plain with no LED bling. It comes with an attractive backplate with an EVGA logo cutout and black braided sheathing on the tubing. The fan and radiator are matching black. It looks clean and sleek installed in my old Maingear Shift. It runs as cool as all the reviews said it would. I had no trouble installing it and I am a complete noob.  The instructions were clear to follow and the kit included everything I needed for installation save some wire ties for the power. The packaging was the best I have ever seen on any product. That’s what you get for $700. 
I have read that it can be custom water cooled but I cannot verify that by personal knowledge.

Question 10

Why is it that the other 980 Ti's come with Metal Gear Solid 5, but this one doesn't?

Accepted Answer

From my research on Nvidia and EVGA, this card should come with Metal Gear Solid 5.  I would assume since it is never in stock Newegg have not changed the banner on the ad.  Mine is packaging as we speak from a week back order so I will let you know.  I have an email asking the same question.
