It has a higher over clock the great cooler and the lights and I heard there customer support is great. 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Reference? Evga. All the way.

 

Never get gigabyte, as they put their logo's on the side of it. like this:

Small reason for it sure, but I really REALLY hate gigabyte for doing that. 

If its removable, then great job. who really cares then. 

Also, Since they are reference cards, performance wise, there really isnt a big difference between them, one may be overclocked, check for that.

This is a reference cooler we are talking about. the only add on he would get is customer support.

If EVGA is not available and GIGABYTE is $50 more for the same reference card, I would go Zotac becaue they are a pretty big name in the gfx card world compared to Palit and Inno3d

 

i might just go with zotac.

 

Why are you getting one with a reference cooler?

 

because non reference card is not available here yet :D

Yea I was lucky this morning they sold out about 1 hour after I ordered mine.

 

Today I ordered the EVGA GTX980Ti Superclocked (reference) - couldn't be happier :)

 

good for you guys. and im here still waiting for the update from my local store about the zotac 980 ti reference.

they have the gigabyte one but i think it doesnt worth the 50$ more pricetag. as i could get an aftermarket card with that additional $$
