Is FTW Worth It?

[Muhammed_11]

Hey,
I was wondering if you think that FTW editions are worth it?
It's a couple of LEDs but it's with sacrificing 88MHz
I'm on a quite tight budget but i am looking for something that'll last me on the long run.

Thanks in advance!

If you can overclock and want LED's then go for the FTW. Why not check out zotac and asus variants?

The main difference is the PCB and the cooling.
Forget about the MHz, they boost to the same speed.
Agreed that Zotac / Asus / Palit Gamerock would be interesting choices depending on the price

You're right, should i get the ROG Strix version?

Yeah, it looks better than the EVGA option if the price you paying is approx same.

Performs the same.
Whether you get an Asus Strix (don't go for the Strix OC, performs exactly the same as the regular Strix), a MSI Gaming X or Z, a Gigabyte G1, Palit Gamerock, Inno3d iChill x4 or a Zotac AMP -- they perform all the same or within a fine margin of error. I'd just get the cheapest that suits your optical needs if you got any.
