Any difference between these two?

I have the 1080ti SC2 hybrid, is there any reason to upgrade to 1080ti FTW3 hybrid? What are the differences between the two besides the RGB lighting?

little more clock speed, more power

It's still a 1080 Ti and the difference will be tiny. A few percent.

Never OC a gpu but I could try and get the same clock speed on my SC2 that the FTW3 has right?

Not really much point in OC of enthusiast class cards. They already have a good sized OC over reference. The real differences between the 2x cards will be less than 5fps generally, and thats only at the top end. If you aren't pushing the card into the high 90% range, you'll be getting fps that's so close, you'd not see any difference as the fps changes constantly in games.

They are enthusiast class 1080ti's. That's as good as it gets. Benchmark clock speeds don't apply much to real world application.

As is, the FTW standards are extremely demanding, the chips are very high binned to be able to pass the FTW testing. Many fail to achieve stability at rated clock speeds and are sold as the FTW DM, which for all intents is an SC with an FTW pcb and cooler. You might get that SC to FTW standards, you might not.
