High ASIC Score

[DebatED Nothing]

-snip-

I honestly know nothing about ASIC, is 94.7% high? It seems very high to me, was I just incredibly lucky?

ASIC quality is essentially a measurement of the voltage loss in the core.  It's reading the "silicon lottery".  All things being equal between 2 GPUs, the one with the higher ASIC quality will hit a specific clock at a lower voltage than the card with the lower ASIC.  That said, it's VERY rare that all things between 2 cards are exactly equal.  Power delivery from the PSU, pcb quality, VRMs and about a hundred other things will play a part in how well the card will overclock.  But it you're talking specifically about the core, YES....ASIC quality matters.

Yes, that's a VERY good ASIC....but it's on a Kepler GPU, and they're completely different for overclocking than the Maxwell architecture.

@Benji_w    This is my ASIC from my G1 970   1649 / 2063

 

At how many volts and with what cooling?

So I managed to get it to be stable ish at +277 to the core clock and +450 to the memory clock in msi afterburner, and the resulting improvement in unigine valley was about 40 points Made no difference.

ASIC seems to have some sort of correlation to OC but there are exceptions and asterisks everywhere. My 72.0% 980ti can do 1562mhz on air (72% is pretty average) and i know many people with higher ASIC scores that cant get past 1525mhz.

If you see a good ASIC you might have hit the lottery but all you can do is OC it and see how far it goes.

Use games, not Valley. I think you'll see a bigger difference.

This, if you're Valley stable down your clock 10mhz and you'll be rocking one bad ass overclock for your games!

Happy Fragging!

I think he's on water like us Vell, pretty sure of it.

Yeah I'm under water. And running 1.262v using Gofspar's bios from the GTX 970 thread.

I run 1605 / 2000 24/7. No problems at all playing any games. Always leave the side cover on.

A pic of my system which is exactly how I do any type of benching when I do it.

So how  does one go about finding their ASIC score? EDIT: my 260x has an asic quality is 81%.

Okay Thanks. I'm stable under the various tests in "EVGA OC scanner" so I'll try with my current OC and lower it if it dies a death. I've only got a stock cooler, so there's only so far I can go with it really.

Yes but...

 

 

Hmm not so sure about that.

 

 

That's on par with my 780Ti. Damn.
