EVGA Signature Line

[RioT LiNaRo]

Hello OC3D-Members,

can someone explain me the difference between
EVGA Referencecard and their Signature Line ?

Does Signature have better/other cooling parts underneath the Shroud?
Looking forward to a nice answere, since i wanna buy a GTX6xx Card

With best regards

Which one specifically?
Links? Pictures?

From their Reference Version, like this one:

to this one (Signature):

The other Signature Line is self explained, they got other Fans in non-exhaust Design

The signature looks reference to me. With the backplate.

That's the FTW version you've linked, which if anything like the 670, looks like the 680 cooler on it.
Someone else may need to clarify that though - I personally wouldn't buy either

All I know is that the 670 FTW comes with the 680 ref cooler and 680 pcb. Didn't even know there was a 660 FTW version tbh.

The only difference I can see is that the signature editions have a backplate, but do have a reference cooler...

Looking from the pictures, the 660ti FTW looks like a 680 PCB and cooler, with the power connectors on top like that...

For me its more interessting about the Coolers, not the PCB or something else.
I just took this pictures, even i dont know for now wich version i take.

OK found the answere myself.

The Signature Line have a slightly better cooling performance
and a 6+8 power design along with a 5 phase PWM design,
which should ensure a fair amount of overclocking headroom.

I'm assuming it's slightly better than the ref versions, and not better than the FTW versions? o:

 

[RioT LiNaRo]

FTW-Versions are better than Signature,
on the cooling and performance side

Yeah, I thought that... shame they don't come with backplates though

 

[RioT LiNaRo]

Reference: 4 PWM-Phases and NVIDIA's PCB design.

Superclocked: 4 PWM-Phases and NVIDIA's PCB design, but is slightly factory overclocked.

Signature: 5 PWM-Phases and EVGA high flow bracket

FTW: 8 PWM-Phases and vapor chamber cooling

Classified: 14 PWM phases and overall better cooling

A "+" means it comes with EVGA backplate.
