Evga can actually tell from the serial number. Once I had to return one Classified 780 and support kept asking me if I was sure I didn't want another one since I did SLI. Since I had two at home I declined and asked just to send the replacement. The card came in retail box and when I checked the ASIC and it was 91%. I'm betting the other probably had a high ASIC as well

Here I was, ready to push the BUY button on an Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming. Damn you EVGA. Decisions decisions.

Wait for some reviews and see then 🤓

Well my 980 has a 73.5% ASIC, and hits over 1500MHz fine I read a few sites saying ASIC makes no difference to OCing, others saying the opposite It's core voltage leakage or something right?

Higher ASIC = higher gpu OC at lower voltage. Lower ASIC leaks more voltage but also OC's better by LN2, etc.. I can run 1215mhz 1.187v, some need 1.20v or even 1.22v with lower ASIC.

on the kingpin card it looks like its going to go fast when you cool it I don't care what ASIC it has. what you going to get a bad one that only does 1900? I mean come on jajajajaja I would settle for 1750 on dice bios and software 🙂

600 amps???

EVGA launches their GeForce GTX 980 Ti K|NGP|N graphics card. With a 14+3 power phase design, this new digitally controlled VRM can deliver up to 600A of current, all delivered through 3 power inputs.

Lets see.....600 Amps of current eh? Yeah....lol 🙂 I would love to see a GPU draw 600 Amps from any computer PSU....Heh. Tim

The problem is the ASIC dont mean all.... anyway overclockers know what i mean.. I have go low ASIC ( 69% ) who was overclock like **** under subzero with xtreme voltage, i have got High ASIC who was overclock like **** under really good air cooling.. ( let alone H2o ) .. But in overall, and i think this is the point of this campaign, High ASIC overclock better under stock cooler and i think they have bin the chips for it, so peoples should got really excellent results under stock cooling .

I know, right? Considering the max output of a typical home outlet (prior to tripping) is 20 amps, I'd love to see that too. Must be the Matrix drawing all that power.

ASIC means ****. Ive had cards with higher ASIC OC worse than other cards with lower ASIC at the same voltage and vice versa.

ASIC means jot all. It's not a guarantee of anything.

LOL, those prices are nuts! Anyone want to buy my GTX 980 Ti SC+ card with ASIC of 83.1%! http://shadowdane.com/public/GTX980Ti_GPU2.PNG Thing is kinda nuts hits 1520Mhz at stock voltage 1.13v.

Kingpin about ASIC %

Honestly speaking, I think most end users don't even realize how maxwell gpus are voltage capped at ambient type cooling. I can tell by many of the comments at OC.net, elsewhere, and also here in these card XOC bios threads. Especially compared to kepler. KP 780ti scaled great on voltage with air/water temps. Basically, more voltage = more clocks no matter what temperature. With 980 and later gpus including titanX, the scaling on air/water has all but almost gone. I would say about 95% of all maxwell 980,titan-X, and 980ti gpus NO MATTER what vga brand pcb it is on, DO NOT SCALE with more voltage than 1.25v-1.275v at temps warmer than 25c or so. There is no magical bios that can effectively remove this. This is exactly why almost every moderate-good asic titanX, 980, and yes 980ti clock around 1550mhz MAX AVERAGE at say 45-60C loading temps. If you put 0c and colder on the card, you will see MUCH different behavior than what you see on air (green garbage all over screen when raising volts over 1.23-1.25vv or so) Cards with very good ASIC value (75% and up) will tend to have the most "overclocking", but just like about every other maxwell gpu, they cannot overvolt past 1.23v-1.25v. So highest asic cards like 80% +are almost always going to be the ones that can 1600+ on air/water, and again they do it pretty much WITHOUT overvolting over 1.23v-1.25v. Maxwell gpus with lower asic value like 65% will not be so great at air/water because these low asic gpus need voltage to scale compared to match the overclock of the high asic gpus( USING SAME USABLE VOLTAGE 1.23-1.25v) The bios's I posted basically allow you to set a higher voltage on air/water. Some gpus can scale more, some cant, some actually will NEED more voltage than was previously needed to run same frequency. All different.

High or low ASIC dont matter unless you can add voltage. Without adding extra voltage all cards are limited no matter how well you cool it. Maxwell is terrible for overvolting and is severely locked down.
