one uses less power than another? although the classified overclocks better i think because of more power going to it 

[Lord_Karango17]

The classified has an overbuilt PCB for extreme overclocking, while the FTW edition has a more standard PCB layout.

 

The cooler will be similar between the 2, so I would only get the classified if you intend to watercool/ balls to wall OC

classified has better power delivery. more overclocking.

the only difference I can see is the FTW takes less power.

correct answer would be "is able to take less power"

They are both using the same design for the cooler, but the Classified has a slightly taller cooler. So a tiny bit more surface area to cool it down.

 

Main difference of the cars is the power delivery as mentioned above. I would honestly just recommend the FTW+ over the Classified card. Unless the price difference is so minor, then you might as well go with the Classified.

The silicon lottery is STRONG with this video. And that sample size.

[Lord_Karango17]

The silicon lottery plays such a large part of overclock these days, I would not spend the extra for the classified's overbuilt PCB. 

 

It might have the power delivery for mad overclocks, but if it flunks the silicon lottery it wont be blowing other 980 ti's out of the water or anything.
