Another day, another GTX 1080 deal.
Compared to other cards, the value in this would be:
1) 3-year International Warranty
2) Blower edition is not affected by the overheating issue - Source - See FAQ

This is ideally a founder's edition?
Essentially, yes. This is part number 08G-P4-5180, Founder's edition is 08G-P4-6180
Difference between 6180 and 5180? 6180 (FE) has a green LED and backplate. 5180 has no LED, no backplate. Clocks are identical.

The FTW edition is a few dollars cheaper @ $466.65 as well.
So it is, there's no reason not to get the FTW DT over this unless you absolutely must have a blower then. Same stock clocks but much better cooling and power delivery on the FTW DT.
i got the FTW DT and its keep crashing on anything over 1950 normal FTW can easily reach 2050-+
More likely the silicon lottery.
That's essentially exactly why the FTW DT edition exists. They're FTW editions that don't meet the quality control and aren't able to sustain the higher FTW clocks. They perform fine at base/stock clocks but have issues going any higher.
Cheap cheap
