Quick Question About Asic

[MeltyMoon]

Hey all I have an HD 7950 in my rig, it's an MSI Twin Frozr 3 (here is the newegg link if you want to take a look at it)

Anyways, I nabbed one of these back when MSI was throwing HD 7950's in HD 7970 PCBs. I actually just found out about ASIC numbers actually, but  I know being this is a 7950 (a card that couldn't pass as a 7970) that my ASIC number shouldn't be too ridiculous, however here is the snapshot from GPU-Z

As you can see, it states 88.9% for the ASIC percentage, isn't that a little high for a 7950? I've seen people in the low 80s and high 70s. Did i luck out and nab a decently binned 7950 GPU?

Here's what I'm currently running my HD 7950 at (Power Target is at +15% so board power is around 180ish watts

Anyways, what do you guys think?

It turns out (& this was proved) that ASIC quality actually doesn't mean much.
So don't worry too much about it.

Also ASIC quality is affected by the PCB & voltage regulation modules (VRMs) not just the GPU die.

One more stupid question if you guys don't mind, 1.13 volts under load (VDDC) for a 7950 is fine right? It doesn't seem like a number that should worry me being 7970s do 1.175 VDDC no problem, but i figured it wouldn't hurt to ask

7950s can take up to 1.3 volts, so you're totally in the safe zone.
