what is the major change here.
 
is this the same 4+2 phase power design that we see in the 970 sc also.
 
I just do not see the change from their press release.  we already had 6 phases of voltage control and the acx2.0 cooler on these cards,  the dual bios was also present
 
also if this new ftw+ is better in the voltage control can we step-up to the new ftw+,  it does not show as an option as of yet.

6 power phases here on both + higher power target. Also new cooling design which is 6% cooler.

I just want to make sure I have this correct.  the amount of power phases are the same between the eVGA gtx970 sc acx 2.0 and the new ftw+ model  (4+2).
 
also any info on if it is possible to step-up to the new ftw+ model. 

Actually it is 6+2. The only information I have today is on the SSC model.

from what i can see there does not seem to be any difference between the two new models other than the extra 25MHz on the FTW+.  If you come up with anything else that is different please let us know.

also it looks like I can do a step-up program for the new ssc model (3975) but the FTW+ is not offered yet (it is also not yet for sale).
 
thanks for being here and have a great holiday

wow O.O, hopefully I can get the FTW+ before the step up expires if possible, 37 days left

The FTW+ model better come out in the next 6 days so us original FTW owners are able to step up.  I purchased one of my FTWs on the first day they were released, and now I only have 6 days left to Step-Up.

you can't step-up to the same GPU, only to a higher GPU.

I only can step up to the GTX 980 ACX 2.0 GPU?

That is usually the case, but not with the 970s.  eVGA allowed people to step up any of their 970 models to the 970 FTW since people wanted the better cooler.  Why do you think they have the FTW model as a Step-Up option?  They never in the past allowed you to Step-Up to anything but a reference model.
 
And they better allow us regular FTW users to step-up to the new FTW+ (what the FTW SHOULD have been to begin with).
