MSI Class 4 Military Quality

[josephcreed7]

I will be purchasing a 280x this weekend. I want to know what role the MSI "Military Class 4" components will play in the life-span of a stock clocked GPU. I've looked into the ASUS card as well, however I am curious which card should prove a longer lifespan/reliability.

It really grabs my attention when I see the advertised high quality transistor/capacitor quality. Why doesn't ASUS advertise this? Does the ASUS card have lower quality components?

Will it be to my advantage to run the MSI card on the MSI class 4 motherboard?

Both cards run about the same, I've narrowed it down to longevity. I want something that will last, and last.

What is your opinion?

Marketing. There's probably no difference in quality between the two.
MSI and ASUS are good brands. Their gpus shouldn't have any problems.

it's all a marketing gimmick, both are good brands like Suztera stated

you should not be so concerned about the longevity of your graphics card. most are warrantied for 2-3 years, and will more than likely perform fine for 5+ years (unless you're extra unlucky). beyond 5-6 years, you will either by upgrading, or you will no longer be able to play the latest titles by that point.
