Clock speeds(classified are higher), and the classified versions usually use a custom pcb and better vrm design.

Depends on the price. The classifieds are nice but not worth too much of a premium.

Yes a 680 classified is a bit better than a 680 FTW. However a stock 780Ti is faster than either one.

classifieds and lightnings have been holding the world records for a few years now for both nvidia and amd.

a single card is easier to deal with... and a 780ti classy can be clocked to 1.3ghz no problem on air and will more than handle all 1080/1440p gaming business.

ftw vs classy... its up to you... do you want to flash a custom bios and play around with higher voltages power targets... do you ever intend on water cooling? if no, then the classified might not be for you.... unless you want to feel comfortable have the highest quality components.

evga has the best customer service and warranty by far. any one of their models will make you happy. if you want to feel secure having extreme quality vrms/mosfets, a highly binned chip and no crappy elpida memory, and the best voltage controller available all on a wide body custom pcb with much larger fans and thus, quieter while providing the best possible air cooling compared to any other model(with the lightning being the only other possible contender)... get the classified.

you just need the two 8 pin power cables. the other is probably for the evga evbot bios flashing too that you can get.
