Gpu-z ASIC Qaulity - Explained

GPU-Z ASIC QAULITY

Morning all, just been doing some benches on my card, and although being stable in 3DMark 11, Heaven and Valley as soon as I load up Crysis 2 or Far Cry 3 then my system will freeze or Catalys will crash.

So after reading a little I found out about GPU-Z ASIC QAULITY -

Quote -
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.

I thought this might be of intrest to users on here overclocking there cards. For me I now understand why I need redicoulsly high voltage to be stable 1100mhz.

Here is what gpu-z says about my sapphire 7950

i read about this a while ago, one of my cards with lower ASIC needs 1.281 volts to be stable at 1200mhz, while the other only needs 1.235

so i suppose there is some correlation in the ASIC quality and Overclock-ability
although i also read someone had a 7970 Lighting with a ~40 something ASIC and it overclocked like a beast on air, ill try and find the thread again

intresting, post a link

I got 75.6% on my 7870 hawk. I'm guessing that's good?

 

[FTLN]

All depends on your cooling, apparently..

So does this mean the higher the number the higher the clocker ? My 7950 @ 800 / 1250 is showing as being 66.4% I think I have got some reading to do

It's a load of balls. My 7970 had an Asic of 87% and was a crap clocker.

One of my 480s had an Asic of 58% and clocked like a bat out of hell.

There must be some truth to it though ? No ?

They surely havent just made this up !

They haven't made it up no but honestly man it makes not one iota of difference.

There was a huge thread on another forum I used to use and people with crap Asic scores were out clocking those with really high ones.

My 7970 was a totally gash clocker. I couldn't get it to 1200mhz no matter what the volts. Sure, it had a low stock voltage and could do 1000mhz on those volts (crap XFX bios) but even with the voltage unlocked I couldn't get it to 1200 and many people with Asics of 60% odd were getting to 1250 easily.

As I said my 480 had an utter crap Asic yet would do 955mhz all day long with a small voltage bump on an Antec Kuhler mod.

I'll try and prove this later. One of my 670s won't do more than 60mhz OC no matter what but I bet it has a decent Asic score.

OK here ya go fella.

Right. Firstly I don't know which is which of the two cards I'm running but TBH? I wouldn't be at all surprised if the crap clocker was the higher Asic..

As you can see, both score pretty darn well. However, one of them (as I say no idea which is which) won't overclock stable at any higher than 60mhz above the stock speed of 1085mhz boost (quite high but they are aftermarket cards).

In case it doesn't make the picture big enough to be legible one reports 73.4% and the other reports 88.5. Now you would expect them both to be very good clockers with Asics that high but nuh uh, one of them simply won't have any of it.

This is pretty much why I concluded that the Asic test didn't prove anything, especially after seeing two crap Asic GTX 480s both hit 950mhz+ on a Kuhler mod.
