EVGA 970 SSC or FTW(not "FTW+")?

[johnsmith3808]

The difference in price over here is just $5 but in a video I heard that they made a FTW+ because there were some issues with the FTW so I don't know if I should just get the SSC. What do you think is better and why?

They are the same card, the FTW has a slightly higher core clock, and for $5 it is worth it. Get the FTW.

But what about the issues the FTW has?

I do not know of any issues with the FTW card.

The ACX 2.0 cards have lower power limits set in the stock bios than does the ACX 2.0+ cards. The FTW, however, is a dual bios card, which makes it extremely easy to flash the 2nd bios to raise the power limits.

If you're going to really push the overclocks, and try to get to 1500+ on the core, you'll end up flashing the bios on the ACX 2.0+ cards as well, so.....just depends on what you're looking for.
