Fastest GTX 680 4GB?

Thread Starter 
I've been waiting to purchase the EVGA FTW+, it's about $630
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130794

Now I noticed a GTX 680 Classified 4GB with higher clock speeds, this one is about $660
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130801

BUT, there's a Galaxy 680 4GB with the same clocks as the one above (1 mhz less on the base clock) for a cheaper price
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162105&Tpk=galaxy%204gb%20680

Is the Galaxy a lower quality card? Would it be same speed as classified?

Other models include FTW standard and another, both lower clocks:

I basically want the FASTEST stock 680 with 4GB of RAM

These cards (With the same clock speeds) will all perform within a hair of each other. I would go with the Galaxy one if you prefer a quieter cooler because it has two fans, each one can run slower.

Thanks

Anyone else?

I noticed the Galaxy has 0 reviews on newegg, maybe the newest model in comparison, that or people don't want the brand...

I've only owned EVGA - and it's the same quality as others but their support is amazing if you ever need it. I have a friend who has a few Galaxy cards and while they work good, he says their support is horrible.

Why FTW+ over classified? Will you be doing manual overclocking?

Some 4GB FTW overclock ok and some don't, Mine will oc to 1270MHz and others are lucky to hit 1200MHz. I think most of the classified's will go over 1300MHz if you get the voltage control but that's another $100 bucks.

I've heard people talking about a voltage controler over at evga that cost an extra $100 bucks, other than that I don't know what they are talking about. EVBOT connector?
