Lava posted a ref evga vanilla card with 87 basic.
He's got the highest. Probably has Samsung chips too. I have skh.

Just got my EVGA 780 Ti SC ACX. ASIC = 57.9%. Slightly disappointed, but it means nothing until I see how it OCs. I'll update in a few days, if anyone is interested. Running on PCIe 2.0 for the time being - wouldn't affect ASIC, would it? Does anyone think I'm going to completely saturate PCIe2.0?

EVGA 780 Ti SC ACX
My new as of yesterday EVGA 780 Ti SC ACX shows 82.9%.
Evga reference vanilla- 87.6
Pny reference vanilla- 65.6
The Evga card runs noticeably cooler but the Pny card can definitely clock higher. I flashed them both to evga sc acx bios and the boost to about 1150-1167 with only fan and power target sliders moved
ya, not sure about my ram. I guess I could look but it's not really worth it to me
780 Ti Classified here. 61.4%.
Not sure how it clocks yet, just received it yesterday, and school is in the way of playing with it.
So odd that tehy are almost all very very low. Very $$$ card to get poorly binned chips

I know. I've read it. But was getting this one anyways. Mine doesn't clock high at all. Couldn't get the core any higher than stock, and the memory only goes up by +100. Didn't overvolt, just raised the power limit to 106% on AB.
Apparently there's a BIOS update you can get in the EVGA forums that might help.

Might give it a shot when I have some more time.
I would bet that the card you bought second hand in a "sealed" box had been tested.

You still got a good deal, but there's always a reason someone let's something like that go at such a low price.
I would thoroughly stress test it at stock speeds. If it doesn't OC at all, it could be at the edge of stability, and the minute it crashes at stock speeds, it's time to look into RMA'ing it.
I thought so as well, but EVERYTHING was sealed, properly. Had a 670 FTW last year, and it had every unbroken seal and sticker.
Also, it seems like it is a known issue:

This is just one of many threads about this in the EVGA forums. They just don't OC as well for some reason. It seems to be the BIOS. There was a BIOS update that seemed to work for some but not all, issued by EVGA, and the one I linked before is a newer version.
Either way, for what I paid, I really really can't complain.
Absolutely - even at stock speed, you have a ~15% overclock versus reference. That's pretty fantastic.
It's just that if you can't overclock at all without a crash, it could be unstable. I would just leave it as is for a while before tinkering with the BIOS. If it crashes at stock, the BIOS likely won't help.
