Silicon lottery, GPU OCing

[lovingGamer]

So there is what i know about Silicon lottery

If you get lucky your GPU will be good on OC and if not then no.

Yep that sums it up pretty much

Why is this post necessary?

yea.....ok

Then there is ASIC quality which plays another roll for GPU overclocking.

silicon lottery is a term when a component lets say gpu or cpu overclocks beter than  afrage exaple(980 avrage oc is arond 1500mhz)silicon lottery is hier than that avrage like 1550 or 1600mhz

this just saying numbers.These numbers arent real but they prove a point

This is due to tiny imperfections in the chip. Copper interconnects that have tiny variances in thickness or electrical resistance, or transistors whose chemical makeup is merely almost the same from one chip to the next. Due to the fact that engineers are constantly pushing the envelope on how small we can make things those tiny imperfections will always be there because when better quality is achieved the time has arrived for yet another die shrink. Without a very powerful electron microscope you'll never see the difference between two chips, but one of them may be able to operate at a higher than rated speed while another may not.

If my 980 always stays around the 1475-1485Mhz mark and is stable, is that a decent OC (didnt add much voltage, only 37mV)
