Both are 449 or 429 (after rebate) but... they are the same no? is there one more powerful than the other and if so what am I missing or not seeing to tell me.

Thanks for the help !

If im not mistaken the only real difference is the FTW card is RGB.

The FTW are normally higher binned chips than the standard vers, and they have better cooling, more power phases, more OC headroom.

But that FTW is the DT vers so you would be down to better cooling.
