Post your gpu's ASIC quality

[Kaynar]

77.7% on XFX 7970 BEDD (non-Ghz) running 1125/1425 at stock volts (watercooled) but cant manage to OC more even with voltage increase.

59.3% on friend's Sapphire 7950 (non-Ghz) stock edition with 1 fan running 1000/1375 without voltage increase, haven't tried for more.

Doesn't work on my card, so I'm assuming 100%.

I think there was some discussion about ASIC quality in the past (with some dude wanting to RMA it because it was below 75% or something) and what use it actually has. Some people seem to connect it with overclocking capabilities, but that is clearly not the case. I still don't know exactly why it's there.

 

[d1nky]

we really need to have people edit their posts to include MAX overclock.

that way we can compare asic and overclock ability. then maybe some kind of table.

Here's mine 94%

I'm assuming higher % is better.

Guess my mine is fine. (factory OC'ed 7870)

Here is mine. Pretty low I'd say

Nonetheless, I am still very happy with my card. It can clock up to 1200 MHz without increasing voltage and with that level of performance I can't complaint much but we can always expect more, right ?
I had GTX 680M that has 100 % ASIC and it was a clocker beast. I think my good time stopped after having this card.

By the way, I am courious how these numbers are actually calculated

My 7870 is 92%, I will add a screenie when I get home, runs at 1250mhz without additional volts.

My 560ti is factory over clocked to 880, I've cranked it to 950 with no extra powah.

XFX HD7950 DD - 86.7%

doesn't matter though, my card is sh*t

I forgot to mention, the card is voltage locked. At that oc setting voltage is at 1.085v. I can move it up to 1.13v but even at that voltage I could not get it stable on Metro Last Light at a tiny 30mhz overclock over my current oc . So yup, that's pretty much the highest oc I can get my card to despite the high asic.

my msi gtx 650ti boost asic..

hd7850. All at stock.

Here's my card. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to post it since this is the red team's subforum, but since others have given their results...
75.1% ASIC quality. It's a reference Leadtek GTX670, and it's pretty happy doing 1200MHz all day @73°C.

I can't get mine to OC as good as one would think with my ASIC quality. 1100mhz and instant crash in 3dmark11 no matter how much juice I feed it. Best run I've gotten recently was 1050mhz.

same as a second 7950 I tested, 1100 and itll crash no matter how much volts. the asic was 55% tho.

and this one 59% overclocks better than most higher asic cards.

I don't know what to conclude, it may be an exception to the rule.

my asic is higher than yours and I couldn't even get to 1030 on core without crashing on Metro LL though it was 3dmark11 stable and runs fine on Crysis 3 and FC3. Is that XFX of yours the one with a 7970 pcb?

 

[LAN_deRf_HA]

All this time I've been using my top card thinking it was the best one out of the two but was i wrong lol...

Ignore the ASIC. Go by what actually clocks best. Seriously this is why everyone stopped paying attention to this number not long after it was added. A lot of high scoring cards aren't great clockers. The only reason to chase down a high scoring card is if you're anal about power efficiency.

 

[Durvelle27]

MSI Hawk HD 7870 1230/1502 Stock volts . Haven't tried for max OC

XFX Double D HD 7870 1200/1450 Max Oc 1.25v

Do they both have the same stock performance voltage?

From what I understand high ASIC quality = low leakage, low ASIC quality = high leakage. But the best overclockers are usually the high leakage parts, because you can pump tons of voltage into them so long as you have a means of removing the resulting heat.

Looks like I'm the winner with 94%

That is what LN2 extreme clocks look for. highest leakage chips and cards they can get.

 

[d1nky]

10mv difference. and the difference between overclocks is insane!

tbh to me asic doesn't mean shit, from my experience I got a leaky card which overclocks well.. and theres cards I know which have decent (high) asic and still need the same volts to do the same clocks and still can get higher or lower.
