980Ti K|ngP|n GPU question

[Guest]

So with the release of the KingPin cards and the ASIC quality that EVGA controls they say, you pay $850 for 72%+ ASIC quality and $899 for 74%+, so is there a chance you could pay $850 and be lucky and get lets say 76% ASIC quality? or is it going to be between 72% but not greater then 74%?

fairly simple question

72-73

[Lays]

Nope, you'll only get one that's within the bracket.

 

So if you buy 72%, you'll get anything from 72 to 73.9%

thank you two for clearing that up c:

my 860M has 86%

Yay for my card and it's 68% ASIC :c

It states that you have at least 72% ASIC quality or higher. It could be it is 95% ASIC with the 850$ card but not less than 72%. Same for the 900$ card. But keep in mind the ASIC is not necessarily a best case when going over a certain percentage.

There are three cooling brackets Air, Water & Sub Zero and each of them require a different quality. But for air the higher the ASIC the better it is for OCing. Keep also in mind that the Kingpin Edition is running with nVidia´s Greenlight program as pretty much most of all cards do, except for cards like the EVGA Classifieds.

I'm jealous 

I think my 650m had something stupid crazy in it if I remember correctly 

my 970 has moderate but cant overclock for s***

bet you it can still get a higher core clock then my card

My boost clock is constantly maxed and I can't breka 70*C on a laptop - got 960M clocks for free

Can do 1160 on core with a lot of voltage... ahh the good old days WHEN IT WAS FINE AT FUCKING 1325 WITH STOCK VOLTS ;~; (Was never truly stable tho...)

[Najuno]

My Titan Xs have both around 70% ASIC and I couldn´t be happier about it because I do custom performance watercool them. With my mod BIOS I achieve 1586MHz on both chips, which is pretty good for the full GM200 water cooled.

oh it had 1325?

still beats mine

[i_build_nanosuits]

980ti Strix from ASUS here, 70%

i've seen lightning from MSI with 69%...and zotac cheap ass cards with 83%...all of these overclock pretty much the same SO i would spend exactly ZERO extra dollars for a binned card...all of these will reach anywhere from 1400mhz to 1550mhz regardless. my card is happy at around 1465mhz with some voltage bump or 1450mhz stock.

[TheRandomness]

1325 *at stock volts and yaaaaay I got a higher clock than a 970 once And it appears that with lower ASIC quality you get higher overclocks with water... experiment incoming *splash*

That´s indeed very true because unlike Kepler Maxwell chips are not only classified by the ASIC reading. So even with a fairly low score you could have a good card to OC. A lot OC potential when it comes to GM204 and GM200 is your VRM.

I managed to OC a GTX980 with a nVidia stock cooler, to benchmark stable 1618MHz with a modded BIOS. And that card had just an ASIC reading of 82%.

Thats cause asic quality doesnt mean shit.

[TheRandomness]

My R9 Fury can't overclock for shit, last night I got 1100MHZ on the core  after an hour of OCing...

Furys don't overclock. They just don't. Jayz got 1160 on his Fury X iirc...

would make sense, my card does have good VRM i think it's a 12+2 powerphase card...it run hot and loud though the strix has cheap fans and i THINK my TIM (thermal paste) on my card is not correctly applied so i reach around 78c in games when i bump the voltages...and the card as a fucking sticker on one of the screw to void warranty so i can't pop the cooler and re-apply MX4 on it... at stock voltage it run around 75c though so it's fine but as soon as the fans go higher than 50% RPM it gets too loud for my liking.

Those temps i talk about are at 50% fanspeed or so...

[don_svetlio]

my friend has the same laptop with 65% ASIC - his temps are 20*C up compared to mine with 86%

[Enderman]

my friend has the same laptop with 65% ASIC - his temps are 20*C up compared to mine with 86%

and how old is his laptop compared to yours?

and how much dust is in it?

 

cause i have seen plenty of people with a high % asic quality that can barely OC and people with really low asic quality that can get crazy overclocks

so yeah, it doesnt really mean anything, theres no correlation

[i_build_nanosuits]

At least AMD kicks NVIDIA's ass until the Titan series

what do you mean? the GTX 980ti is significantly faster than the furyX?!

and the GTX980 is faster than the 390X?...

I'm extremely curious about that to.

same. I can't touch the voltage, or else it will instant crash.

pushing my card on a good day i can squeeze 1488 core

but thats pushing it with artifacts

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/9482606? with a 1488 ish core (according to Afterburner).. on a good day with artifacts I cant get it any higher if I try

his is fairly clean - not to mention Y50s have filtered intakes so that also helps to a certain extent - his ran warm from the first day - I remember it since I was there - got 70*C on the CPU while browsing youtube - I can't break 55*C on the CPU in firefox

[don_svetlio]

and the GTX980 is faster than the 390X?...

he means a 980 is 100$ more than a 390X and only 50$ less than a Fury and Fury wipes the floor with it
