EVGA GTX 1080 FTW2 DT vs SC2

[Hyeokgeose]

Hi,

I ordered a EVGA GTX 1080 SC2 with a PSU for about $500 from B&H. Today, I was informed that card has been discontinued, and so they offered to replace that card with a GTX 1080 FTW2 DT at no extra cost.

Which card is better, or is the performance difference negligible? Should I accept this replacement?

Side note, I noticed they do have a listing on their site for a SC2 marked as "special order." That makes me think they still have some in stock and so I'm wondering why I can't receive the product I ordered.

FTW2 DT is simply a FTW2 without a factory overclock. They also don't have cherry picked GPUs so there's a way higher chance of getting a very low overclocker.

But, it's not like overclocking on the core increases FPS that much anyways, either way, manually overclocking a FTW2 DT is going to be faster than any standard SC or FTW2 card.

The SC2 is better. Higher clocks.

See if they will give you the FTW2, not the FTW2 DT. The DT has lower clocks, the non DT hs similar clocks.
