1080/1070 question (watercooling)

[RNGesusHatesMe]

so guys the million dollar question 980ti or 1080/1070 ? i was really keen on the watercooler 980ti from evga as i have a hot room. 970 ti hits 76 usually (windforce)

 

the main thing i wanna know is how long is it usually before water cooled editions of the new gpus will come out. 

im doing 1440p gaming so it will be pushed hard.

 

or should i just pickup the 980ti hybrid from evga when its price drops with the launch of the new cards ? 

also where can i go to see the revealed specs of the new gpus when they are released ?

 

edit just found the email from nvidia 1080 > 980 ti by the looks of it

yes the 1080 will be faster than the 980ti...and since the 1080 is just the small 300mm² die and is very energy efficient with just 180W TDP, watercooling those cards will be basically useless...a good air cooler on it and it will be more than enough to max out the overclock.

No need for AIO liquid coolers, just get a good aftermarket air cooled one like windforce from gigabyte

People were saying the same thing about Maxwell too, until they realized that keeping it cooler, still meant higher clocks.  lol
