    Can you provide links (or just post the address and break the link) to the specific cards you're referring to?

    EDIT: I compared these two:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130944

    And spec-wise they seem identical... Only difference I saw was one said "FTW" and one said "SC" on the heatsink. Speed wise they seem the same.

    FTW editions usually have better coolers better PCB and more room for OC.

    SC editions are at their limit pretty much.

    They are the same performance wise, but always depends on which models you are buying, apparently the newer models with the 4GB are pretty much the same apart from the things mentioned at the start.

    If you plan to OC, FTW is better, if you dont, either is okay.

    Assuming you are talking about the newer models as i said, older models of 760 i think FTW is better since it has 4GB instead of 2GB.

    Edit: Checking the EVGA site, FTW also has Dual Bios.

    So basically, the same out of the box, but FTW has better modification options for about $20 more.
