So in about 2 weeks or so I will be buying me a GTX 1070 and have it narrowed down to 2 cards. Now I do realize the EVGA 1070 FTW has not even been launched yet and may not be available when I am purchasing my card, which I am looking at the 15th of July. To my knowledge, there is no actual release date yet for the FTW edition, but EVGA does have pricing up on their website so I would assume sometime this month. Of these 2 cards, which would you pick and why. 

 

A: EVGA GTX 1070 FTW: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6276-KR

 

B: Zotac GTX 1070 Amp Extreme edition: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500401

I'd go EVGA, since they seem to have a much better warranty and RMA service.
