Going to be honest with you, I don't know a lot about video cards. Before I decide to get a new one I always look up reviews and benchmarks, but I don't actually understand the nitty-gritty of clock speeds and what not.
I have done enough research to know that I want to jump in and pick up a GTX 1080 but I'm trying to decide between the SC and FTW version. Thing is, despite looking in to it, I haven't been able to figure out what the difference is between the two other than the fact that the FTW has a slightly higher clock speed and power consumption. If anyone could explain it to me, ideally in laymen terms, I would truly appreciate it. If you could throw some advice my way about which one to get, I'd appreciate that too.
It's not like the extra 20 bucks is going to break the bank so I don't mind paying the extra for the FTW, I just don't want to use the extra power if there's no real benefit.
