EVGA GTX 1080 FTW2 with ICX cooler

[NumLock21]

No information about this card yet. The cooler looks exactly like their ACX 3.0 one and has some marking of G, P, M, don't know what they are for.

For now just some pics. Does EVGA ever have AIO? First time I see a AIO from them.

Probably just an official re-release of the card with some very minor and insignificant changes, with the exception that they have proper cooling/thermal pads on this one so it isn't prone to overheating like the FTW was. They already fixed the original FTW model going forward, but they likely felt that the card sales just wouldn't recover without some obvious way of seeing that the card was actually fixed.

That would be my guess anyway.

 

As for the AIO, who knows... CES always brings new and exciting things, perhaps that is something new and exciting from them. perhaps that is just a custom mod someone did.

Engineer "We forgot to put thermal pads on the 1070 FTW Sir."

 

CEO " Put them on and call it FTW2."

 

Engineer "Brilliant! That's why you're the boss Sir."

I heard the fix was just a bios update and the thermal pad is still optional. The fixed cards will just have a bios update but no thermal pads.

The fixed units should have thermal pads. The new FTW2 has more screws holding the cooler to the PCB. Mostly marketing.

This new card, probably will have, but the currents ones does not. So if I get a EVGA GTX 1070 or 1080 now, the card will still not have thermal pads pre-installed, and I will still have to request some from EVGA.
