Post your GPU ASIC quality (gpu-z) and overclockability

[wand3r3r]

I'm curious what "quality" percentages are out there, and any overclocks you can do at what voltages. It would be interesting to see if there is a direct correlation with ASIC quality, voltages, and overclocks. (Predictability how well it can overclock)

designed for NVIDIA Fermi (GF10x and GF11x GPUs) and AMD Southern Islands (HD 7800 series and above)

Howto
Download GPU-Z if you don't already have it: http://www.techpowerup.com/159098/TechPowerUp-GPU-Z-0.5.8-Released.html

(In Windows 7)
Right click the top bar where the minimize/maximize/ close buttons are, and choose "Read Asic Quality"




GTX 560 TI Hawk
Stock overclocked
Core 950 MHz (reference 822 MHz)
Memory 1050 MHz (4200 MHz)
Voltage 1.05v

Overclocks over 1050 in Heaven/Kombuster, but dropped to 1000 MHz for BF3 stability with 2330 Memory, with a voltage bump to 1.087.
Stable overclock
Core 1000 MHz (reference 822 MHz)
Memory 1160 MHz (~4650 MHz)
Voltage 1.087v

88.6% ASIC quality

I guess it's only for these.

My reading was 75.3%.

How would Gpuz gouge quality though, all the cards are the same if they are reference right ?

 

[BD231]

I'll be damned.

Gigabyte GTX 460OC 74% - Max stable overclock = 850mhz @ 1.067v (Reference 715mhz/.987v)
EVGA GTX460 SSC+ 86% - Max stable overclock = 950mhz @1.037v (Reference 850mhz/1.037v)

so much for lower default vid equaling better overclock.

It's a lower default vid, but it's also clocked significantly lower out of the box.

It says 75.7%. No clue what all of this means, though. Time to read up.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Sapphire 7970 (reference)
AISC 74.1%
1175/1625

I get 104.6% stock
Same overclocked

There was also another thread about it a few weeks back.

68.3%. I haven't bothered with overclocking because my card already comes at 850MHz Core stock and on the stock voltage it won't do much more. I got it over six months ago (at $160). I'm also completely against overvolting GPUs from the default they come at because of the much higher power consumption/heat.

MSI GTX 570 Power Edition (twin frozr iii design) SLI

Card #1 - 99.7% (0.963 default voltage)
Card #2 - 82.8% (0.980 default voltage)

 

[wahdangun]

so if i undervolt my GPU waht will happen ? will it get better score ?

Lower default VID has never equaled better overclock. On average its actually reversed from what you are thinking.

 

[Edrick]

I got a 112.6%.

Still Not sure if that means a got a really good card or a really bad one.

 

[Stingercjc]

EVGA GTX 560 TI 448 Core Classified

ASIC - 66.8%
OC - 900/1800/2100 (stock voltage)

It can go higher. 1GHz core is attainable but it runs super hot and I have to put the fan at 85 percent to keep temps at sane (but still high) levels.

thats not what was claimed in the other thread.

"The higher this number, the lower voltage the GPU needs to work at the default clock rate and the higher overclocking results you can get with it by increasing its voltage."

That's been my experience with my sample size of two 7970's. The first one was a 70-76% card (never checked ASIC but default voltage was 1.175V) and it's max was around 1175 at 1.25V. Second card has a default voltage of 1.05V and an ASIC score of 83.6% IIRC. It hit 1225 on the core at 1.175V. Those cards were using the reference coolers.

MSI 560GTX Ti Twin Frozr II OC (880/2100 stock) - 99.7% 0.975v default voltage (jumps to 0.985v under load I think)

I've only pushed it to 960/2200 before seeing artifacts, haven't bothered playing with voltage on it.

I think that this will be a good tool for determining the resale value of GPUs.
If I ever sell one of the supported cards, I'll post the ASIC quality in my listing.
