Has or does anyone here use a reference card for gaming? I know there are obvious benefits from a cooling perspective for custom cards, but if you're not planning on OCing, are there other significant benefits for custom cards?
The FE is very stripped down on their power regulators (missing power fases, missing mosfets... Cost reduction effectively, and the reviews show it - throttling due to power delivery).

I would wait for custom PCB's, which should also come with proper aftermarket coolers.
