So I recently did the step up to the GTX 1080 ACX 3.0 and I am wondering what other models are in the step up program (FTW, Classified, etc.). I don't OC the card at all so I can assume that I will be happy with the one I am stepping up to for a total cost of $34 and change correct?

    There are not going to be FTW or Classified models in the step up program. EVGA has never done that. There is a possibility of the SC model, but I doubt it.

    EVGA X99 FTWK / i7 6850K @ 4.5ghz / RTX 3080Ti FTW Ultra / 32GB Corsair LPX 3600mhz / Samsung 850Pro 256GB / Be Quiet BN516 Straight Power 12-1000w 80 Plus Platinum / Window 10 Pro

    Okay so I am guessing it's fine to keep the one I stepped up to then. I dont OC due to being scared of damaging the card so I am sure the stock 1080 can handle pretty much anything.

    It's fine to overclock with a program of your choice. It won't damage it. Take it like baby steps. overclock little bits at a time (on core clock and memory clock, separately), and test each time, until the video card black screens, or causes the drivers to crash. Then you will know when you hit the max limit for the card. Once you reach the max limit, just underlock and back off a little bit, and you're golden. However, if you're merely gaming, you won't really see that big of a difference to where you will actually SEE the difference.

    I buy pre-overclocked cards, so I don't have to. You could always make minor overclocks just to be safe though.
