I swapped my 1070 SC SLI cards for 1070 FTW cards... from 1 8 pin power connector to 2 but it's less performance and I can't even OC it 60+ on the GPU down from 100 on the SC. Any advice, similar experiences?

Gotta love that silicon lottery.

If that's the case it's about to be in the new egg open box lottery because I'm not paying more and using more energy for less performance.

I guess you should of researched if going from sc to FTW is worth it.

What are you talking about. The FTW cost more and consumes more power because it performs better... If it had performed better it would be worth the money to me unfortunately one of the 2 cards is junk.

Actually most pascal cards will run very similar and more power doesn't necessarily mean more performance (slicon lotto/locked voltage). IMO the FTW cards you paying for dual bios, more phases (which may play more of a role latter)  and nicer looking with RGB.

well one of the cards benches 200 points under a 1080 in Firestrike 1.1 and the other is a turd... So 1 performs as I thought it should, better than the SC, the other one has me trying to decide what to do.

That's the silicon lotto for you :(

Are you after them extra 5-6fps? Just dont overclock, problem solved!

And this is why I gave up on SLI kids.  Get the best single card set-up you can, you'll have way fewer issues.
