I only see the clock rates are different and DT is cheaper. What is DT edition of FTW?

    Physically the same. DT stands for De-tuned so it will be running at reference clock speeds.

    Can it be overclocked to FTW speeds?

    You can overclock it however we can't guarantee overclocks past what it ships with default as every GPU is slightly different. What will work with one GPU may not work with another of the same model.

    I wouldn't recommend a DT if you want FTW clocks - it is quite possible you get an FTW that did not pass the tests for running at FTW speeds.

    maybe it would better to be renamed as "GTX 1070 ACX 3.0 RGB" instead of "FTW DT"

    You are not the first to suggest this  . If you want to read more discussion about this, check the thread about the 1080 FTW DT - it is basically the same topic like with the 1070 :

    does it mean asic value of FTW DT is arround %50-60 or something like this?

    AFAIK there is nothing like ASIC value for the GTX 10x-series. Only EVGA can tell you what internal measurements are taken to determine if a card gets a FTW or a FTW DT - but I can't think of another reason than being a bad (or maybe completely untested) overclocker, otherwise they could sell it as FTW and get more money out of it :>

    Well it's simple really. DT is a lower quality FTW and not a true FTW card. It's basically a stock gpu speed with a custom pcb.

    Some DT cards can OC better than non DT cards.
     
    They're just marked as DT because they failed some part of EVGA's quality check.

    Why is the total maximum power draw listed at 215 watts when this card is using reference clock speeds? Is this related to overclocking? Would the card use no more than 150 watts total while running at its reference clock speeds? Just curious.
     
    Thanks!

    Yes, but the reference card only has one power plug. If bios modification were allowed, you could still ask the card to pull more power from the second power plug, so the maximum would be higher than the reference card.

    So essentially DT means you are playing the silicon lottery with your low being stock settings but your paying a premium price regardless. Got it.

    Premium in this case is $20-30 more. I’d say it’s worth a backplate and rgb and cooling alone plus the free lottery ticket 😊

    FTW DT's are basically reference 1070s with beefier PCB components, better cooling, and RGB lighting. Nothing to sneeze at and still the chance it overclocks just as well if not better than an SC 1070. If you can get one for SC prices or less it's a good option.

    DT means very little in terms of performance. GPU boost will overclock your card far beyond specifications set forth by nvidia or evga. You are getting an upgraded model with a better cooler and more sensors.

    :-). Many of the DT cards (not all) can overclock further than the other cards. Yours may not, but the performance will be extremely close to what you had before.

    I do not think you'd be happy if they sent you a GTX 1080 Ti  FTW to replace your Kingpin... I wouldn't.  And 'the performance is extremely close' under normal operating conditions.
    Not trying to be contrary but I would not like getting a QA failure for whatever reason as a replacement for an guaranteed OC that I paid more for. Put another way, your insurance company replaced your Honda, with heated leather seats, with velour.
