Which Graphics Card is Better?

[TSCShady]

Im trying to make a decision between two graphics cards the

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-3975-KR 4GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling Graphics Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487088

and the

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2978-KR 4GB FTW GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487077

If its even relevant my build is
CPU : Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock H81M-DGS R2.0 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Team Elite Plus 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

The clock and boost speeds on the 2nd card are slightly higher than on the first card. Other than that, they're the same stuff.

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-3975-KR 4GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+ has slightly newer cooler design, having better ports support.

I would go with the FTW because of its higher clock speed and lower power draw. Yes, the SSC has a better cooler, but that's not a fair comparison between the two because the SSC produces more heat than the FTW.

The amount of processing cores, amount of memory, memory bus width, memory speed, display connectors and maximum amount of supported displays is the same between the two. Which means that the FTW is the better card because it has a higher clock speed while still producing less heat than the SSC.
