The FTW2 by far is a better card.

That or the Classified are the two top ones.

The Classified has higher OC potential (More power phases) than the FTW2 and the FTW2 is a great over clocker.

Well in terms of VRM and overall PCB quality the FTW2 is the better card. Both have the ICX cooler and sensors but the cooler on the FTW2 is a bit bigger. In terms of performance they will be near identical.

I would say the classified is ridiculous overkill for anything other than LN2 overclocking. They do bin chips for it, but from what I have seen on air it doesn't clock much higher than any other 1080 with a decent VRM and cooler.

I know, but I thought I would point it out just in case.

I have a GTX 1080 FTW2 and it's a monster over clocker. Found that out when I pushed it for the Superposition thread.... Took a custom water cooled GTX 1080 to beat me and it wasn't by much.

I still had more headroom on the memory, but I stopped and said good enough.

I got 2113 GPU and 5940(11,880) Memory (No voltage adjustment) at 67C MAX with stock fan profile.

Question from CarmineShots : "Which is better Asus ROG Strix 1080 or EVGA FTW2"







From what I found, the EVGA one has a tad more power, but nothing noticeable, but the strix one has rgb lights, duh, and has 1 more hdmi port (2 total) than EVGA, and in Newegg, the strix one is $30 cheaper, so why not?

Question from CarmineShots : "Asus ROG Strix 1080 ti vs the OC version."

The OC version is out of stock atm but I could buy the regular version right now if I wanted. Should I wait for the OC version to restock or just settle with the regular version?

P.S. Sorry for all the versions lol.
