G1 are always higher quality cards, but in short higher OC, better OC potential, higher quality cooler, RGB LED, Flex display technology, backplate guaranteed.

Well worth the extra money. :)

The core clock is only slightly higher on the G1 while the memory clock is a fair amount lower. I agree the cooler is likely better but I've always found Windforce cards to be loud. Flex Display tech is near useless and the MSI Gaming comes with a backplate. I don't see an extra £45 of value there.

Decisions decisions I'm wanting either the evga hybrid or the evga sc acx 2 or gigabyte g1 which ever comes in first and if I had the money I would order all three :)

That is OK, buy the MSI we sell both and are the only reseller offering both at present and guaranteed to get stocks first. :)

P.S. G1 cards have a history of being great clockers, this card will not disappoint as it has 8-phase power with 2x 8-Pin connectors.

Ordered 2 x EVGA reference 980Ti's

Any idea when these will be about?

Also, is anyone planning on SLI'ing anything other than reference cards? Still a bit cheesed off about the lack of backplate.

Hi Gibbo,

Is there any update on the stock your expecting on this Friday delivery from EVGA?

Very small amount, nowhere near enough to cover all backorders.

The big volumes are coming only on Gigabyte G1 and OcUK 980Ti at the moment I am afraid, order those if you want a card by end of next week. :)

Are there any Hybrids on the order as that's what ive ordered. (1st on the list)
Click to expand...

Would love to know the same, I'm apparently 4th in line :)

Friday is only a few days away so I'm sure we'll know sooner rather than later...

Looking forward to putting the Hybrid through it's paces!

Probably will as it's the same cooler is it not unless they have changed the design? it only looks like cosmetic changes

That's what I suspect. It reminds of a similar situation with the gtx 780 and 780 Ti where the 780 was cooler than the Ti - I don't think gigabyte changed their windforce cooler at all to accommodate the higher temps.
