Post your ASIC Quality.

[Roadhog]

The next new feature is ASIC quality, designed for NVIDIA Fermi (GF10x and GF11x GPUs) and AMD Southern Islands (HD 7800 series and above), aimed at advanced users, hardware manufacturers, and the likes. We've found the ways in which AMD and NVIDIA segregate their freshly-made GPU ASICs based on the electrical leakages the chips produce (to increase yield by allotting them in different SKUs and performance bins), and we've found ways in which ASIC quality can be quantified and displayed. Find this feature in the context menu of GPU-Z. We're working on implementing this feature on older AMD Radeon GPUs.

Download GPU-Z from here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads...-Z_v0.5.8.html

Open it up, select your GPU at the bottom, then click the little green GPU icon in the very top left and click on "Read ASIC Quality".

GTX 580 65.1

here's mine...Counting from the CPU downwards(GTX580's):

1: 46%
2: 53.4%
3: 68.9%


Kinda sucks that the first and second ones are so low, but they are using more voltage even at stock speeds too(1.063 and 1.050 volts respectively)....The one on the very bottom at 68.9% one only needs 1.025 volts at stock...Gigabyte sucks.:P

Here is mine




and yes its a good OC'er with low voltage

GTX 560 Ti reads 90.6%

These are actually backwards, according to an AMD rep, high leakage parts actually clock higher. I'll see if I can dig up the explaination.

Maybe they can, but use more voltage too.. Although i didnt see one yet, at least when i checked 570gtx OC results.

Everything is qualified at worst case anyway; all the TDP calcs and the fan settings are completed on the wors case for the product range.

Also, values above 100% are a bug atm, so I wouldn't trust the current GPU-Z results. I'm sure the next release or two will fix it.

Roadhog, what are the voltages for each of the cards you listed?

Hmm, so the higher leakage parts use higher voltage. That is assuming we are reading the ASIC values correctly, and that a lower number means more leakage...

Yeah, well at least it looks so by my gpu with 100.3%. Default voltage is 0.962v @ 770mhz and for 900mhz it needs "only" 1.049v..

Now if i compare it to another 570 TFIII with 0.987v @770mhz it needs 1.068v @900mhz; another 1.025v@ 770mhz needs 1.10v @900mhz. For example I can oc to 962mhz @ 1.10v.
