I am a looking to buy an EVGA GTX 770, but I was wondering, why would one buy an FTW/Superclocked ACX GTX 770 (and pay more) when you can buy the GTX 770 with ACX and OC it your self?
Because some people only want to run their cards at the stock clock the manufacturer came up with, no tuning any at all. Plus there is a small ( really small ) chance that the GPU you got with your normal 770 is a bad one and can't be OC-ed to the level of the superclocked edition ( we call it silicon gamble here ).
FTW has a better phase design and got the best cooling of all the EVGA cards, its the best OCed one.
Superclocked also got a better phase design(8 phase if i'm not mistaken)
If I understood well the more phases the more OC potential right? How much % more would one be able to OC if lets say you go from 6 to 8 phases. Is it worth the extra $$$ ?
