TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.5.8 Released

higher leakage = higher temps but higher OC
Lower leakage=lower temps but usually low OC.

Bad leakage? that is not even a type of leakage. Every transistor has some type of leakage, that is why ES CPUs in previous gens to SB OC so much higher, because usually they had unlock TDPs. I woudl actually expect the higher binned cards for the same type to have lower ASIC if the leakage is what they say is quality of the silicon.

My ref gigabyte GTX 570 is 89.7%

i don't think ASIC refers to just leakage.
overclockers should want higher as higher leakage transistors usually can work faster, that is why they use them in very critical parts of teh GPU.

Do you guys no longer support Geforce 8600M GT? :(

http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/12/01/21/hsg.png

it works fine on my dad's laptop with a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT

BTW right now Ivy bridge has an issue where the leakage is just crazy, so its air/water clocks are coming out like SB. but on LN2 its like amazing compared to all previous intel platforms IMO. .
 
my radeon hd 6670 gddr5, say popup "ASIC quality reading not supported on this card." :wtf:

Why, why, why ????????

Which one? The ASIC percentage is simply read off the chip.

And how do you do that? When I click the question mark I get the window to start the test, I just want to get the ASIC reading.

Stock volts. I've been running it like this since I got it. Water block should be here next week, hopefully it likes some extra volts. :)

Right click the title bar of the window (where it says TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.5.8) to open a context menu that has the ASIC reading option.
 
So, who's got the lowest ASIC quality? My first 470 reads a massive 36.9%, which sounds about right. It was never a strong overclocker. Default VID of 1.037V can be overclocked to 725/1800 at stock volts or 775/1900 at 1.087V. Nothing too spectacular. Best I've ever gotten it was 850/1900 at I think 1.15V. It wasn't 100% stable and the card alone drew more than 400W in Furmark. (Don't worry I had the AXP on it and it never got above 75°C, worry about the VRMs though.)

My other 470 with a quality of 60.9% is a little better. Default VID is 0.975V. 725/1800 at 0.975V and 775/1900 at 1.037V.

It doesn't work for me on 6990s, it says "ASIC quality reading not supported on this card."
Same on an ASUS 6970 DirectCU II

Didn't you read this? "The next new feature is ASIC quality, designed for NVIDIA Fermi (GF10x and GF11x GPUs) and AMD Southern Islands (HD 7800 series and above),"
 
Nope sorry, totally missed it :)
 
I got 97.4% on an EVGA GTX 560 Ti 448 Core FTW
Currently running factory overclocked 797/975/1594 @ 1.013 V

This seems exceptionally good, am I right? Which would seem to support EVGA doing binning.

Yea well my POS Gigabyte gtx 460 which has given me a lot of headaches has an ASIC quality of 110.3%. :ohwell:

I wonder where Wizz is pulling this number from and what it was originally meant to represent?

it's from the gpu silicon, and it's used to calculate the gpu voltage.

"bad" gpus get a higher voltage so they make the default clock. "good" gpus can do it with lower voltage

as you've seen in this thread, the scale for nvidia isnt perfect yet, so i'll apply some fixes once I have more data that suggests the typical ranges of gpu leakages

Any chance for some old card support ? Like the HD5770 ?
 
Curious to see what my two GTX 580's would show:

Looks like my second card should oc better than my first one in the SLI setup.

Thanks W1zz for this nice little enhancement:toast:
 
wiz any word on AMD 7900 series vrm temperature sensor readings in the next gpuz
