What are the different between the EVGA cards?

[Pooherino ツ]

I'm looking through GTX 980 and 980ti from EVGA on newegg right now, and there are so many options, its kinda confusing. What are the different between them?

There's like ACX 2.0, SSC, Classified, Kingpin, FTW, Hydro Copper (i know this one is for water cooling), but just wanna know is there a real difference? especially the kingpin, which is most expensive.

You mean 3: Like between a 980 and a 980ti, or between.. what?

Just get the acx2.0 with ssc. It's good enough.

Classified is basically a better version of it and will require more power.

The kingpin is basically their top of the line card for their list. It requires like 3 8pin cables and you can do a lot of overclocking from the air coolers itself

 

FTW is basically the same with ssc and acx2.0, to me it's like a cooler boost and it gives a backplate I believe.

The Kingpin is the most expensive along with classified.

The kingpin has different ASIC qualities, which could* lead to better overclocks, a 90% ASIC quality kingpin can cost more than a titan x

EDIT: Changed can to could

Oooh i get the question now 3: I agree with everything Barnbarn says, but I favor the FTW edition because backplate

Pretty sure jayztwocents did a video about asic quality. Said it didnt even really matter.

Changed it to could lead to better overclocking. I don't recommend getting kingpin though, classified is enough 

[DarkBlade2117]

Just get the $650 ACX2.0 or ACX card. The SSC and ect are just overclocked. The KingPin is like buying a lotterynticket and knowing you will win. Or get the 4995 version ( These numbers are in the model number ) this one comes with a backplate, overclocked, and uses ACX. However, many have stated the ACX cooling can be quite loud.
