TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.5.8 Released

Open context menu by pressing ALT on your keyboard, press down arrow to open menu, either scroll down to ASIC or use your mouse to click it.

not working for me O.o

i push ALT (Left one) and than push arrow down but nuth happens, do i need to set keyboard language to english or what is wrong here?
 
ah i have a spare 9800GT(92b/55nm)but i see no support for asic reading -.-
will be there any future update for older cards?

You can also right click the window titlebar (as in where it says TechPowerUp GPUz 0.5.8) if you dont know how to use a keyboard :D
 
Lol my ASIC quality is 117.4% :rockout:

I now vote we should have a ASIC quality performance table! :)

my ASIC is only 62,6% O.o

i am using beta driver 290.36 is the driver an issue or my ASIC is just terrible low?

Just need some sucker to keep it updated. That's why I don't want to do it. I do have a suggested format:

EVGA GTX 580 3072 MB
ASIC quality: 72.3%
Stock VDDC: 1.016v
OC 1.113v @900/4600MHz

VDDC as measured by GPUZ. 3D mode, no load.

Was only kidding really.... these days there is very little that I am near the top at! i just checked, the rating seems constant.... I clocked it more but no change to rating, my card is at stock volts, it would be interesting to see if higher or lower volts at same GPU speed affects the rating though....... but thats probably me not understanding how the rating is figured lol.
 
my asic is 57.4% on my current gtx 470. supposedly terrible. but i can push the oc slider all the way to 940mhz with extra voltage and game bf3 for hours and no issues.

under water btw. on air i maxed at 825 before the fan speed was to annoying.
 
hmm on my reference asus gtx 580 (watercooled) it reads an asic quality of 102.6%

looks like there are much better nvidia gpus out there than i expected, guess i'll have to adjust the scale for next release

lol yeah, mine are all more than 100% :laugh::laugh:

102.6% is the lowest.

I'm using same driver and I got different readings on both my 460s. It's not driver issue.

oki, bcs u never now, it's software readings ^^;

Please don't! This ASIC quality may become a standard (and important metrics) for second-hand graphics card trading, and people would continue using 0.5.8 screenshots to fool people around... I'd say keep the current scaling that some cards can exceed 100% (and there's nothing terribly wrong with this), unless you really feel it's absolutely necessary to change it.

If you do feel like to change it anyway, could you specifically list the RAW value (i.e. decimal value from the binary) on the screen, besides the percentile? This could avoid confusion and when trading second-hand graphics cards we could ask for a screenshot with the later version of GPU-Z, to avoid confusion with the abolished 0.5.8.

ASIC quality is derived from a hard-coded value from the GPU. Forget drivers, not even a BIOS change or soft/hard voltmods can change that measurement. On our end, we can only change the scale of measurement.

FAQ #1: ASIC quality:

Look at it this way, let's say there's an imperfect car manufacturing company, and not all the cars that come out of it have perfectly aligned and balanced wheels, and so to "increase yields", the car maker puts its cars (at the factory), through corrective studs that will align/balance out wheels.

Not all GPUs are born equal, not even in the same wafer. Some have higher electrical leakage, some have low. So to correct them in the fab, their degree of leakage are measured and corrective fuses are added to the GPU package, and correct VID set for the chip's leakage characteristics. Later, NVIDIA/AMD segregate "good" chips from "normal" based on leakage/VID, the "good" ones are put into higher bins, the "normal" ones go to reference / low-factory-OC cards, the "good" ones go to high-factory-OC cards. Multiple SKUs based on the same physical GPU are also carved out this way. "normal" ones go to lower SKUs, "good" ones go to higher SKUs.
 
hope you get the older cards sorted wizz, interesting and unique feature there:) , my 5800's and gt240 are presently incompatible.

Relax man. I think we are the only ones here with the GTX570 until now and my ASIC is 67,7%. An oveclocked EVGA model 797MHz core.
 
Erm...

It seems like gt problem wif my EAH6850V2~
No Vcore~
and None-stop running the stress test ~
