Asus EN9600GT Silent G94-300-B1 detected as A1 revision

[iDont]

Hello,

I just got an Asus EN9600GT Silent from a buddy of mine and whilst reapplying the TIM, I've noticed that the GPU is the G94-300-B1 revision (55nm if I'm correct). I couldn't take a picture of it because my camera is broken, but I wrote down the complete text on the die:

Nvidia
C8071432 o* 829B1
S Taiwan
PA4556 S1W
G94-300-B1

*Ain't sure about the o, don't know if it should be an "o" or an "0" and if it should be directly infront of the 8 instead of a space between them, thanks to my quick handwriting.

And here is a screenie of GPU-z:

And the product page by Asus (though you won't find anything useful there):

Just wanted to let you know.

Today I was installing some cooling on the mosfets and took the opportunity to take a picture of the die:



So GPU-z is definitely misreporting it. It's just a minor issue, but it would be nice to see it fixed.

Keep up the good work,

This misreading is most likely caused by the fact nV did not assign new device IDs to the chips after 65nm->55nm shrink, meaning software has no way to determine if the GPU is A1 (65nm) or B1 (55nm).
