Hello, i am planing to buy a Evga 1080. Since i have had Evga before and have no problems with them ether. I am also planing to overclock the card too.

So i am wondering if there is going to be such a big difference between the FTW edition and the Classified edition and if there is a big difference would you mind explaining what the difference is going to be?

Regards

As I understand (I maybe mistaken), the FTW cards are just binned mostly regular cards running factory overclocks and can usually handle even more. The Classified cards have a lot of changes to deliver more power, more stable voltages and other things to let you push it further.

From what i have been reading now, is that they can handle more power more clean. Classified is supposed to be used with watercooling to get the max potential and FTW for the people that are not planed to overclock that hige.
