To those with Reference Cards!

[sgtDiggle]

Those of you with Reference Nvidia cards, be it a reference design 10 series, 20 series, 30 or 40. Do you regret the purchase? 

 

Those with Reference 20 series or 30 series, are you finding that they are aging faster than say your friends with non reference versions? 

 

I am curious as I am going to be purchasing a Super 40 series card, and curious if I should pull the trigger on a reference card and save some $$ or just go with a Gigabyte or PNY. I am staying far away from Asus. I know all brands suffer from. Coil wine, but I hear Asus and MSI are on the top of the list.

All cards whether reference or not perform within the same sort of tier as each other , Especially 40 series reference cards which tend to be built just as well as the AIB cards.
