I'm actually quiet pleased with that,sure it's not 80%asic but for me to buy a kingpin with that asic and the samsung memory I'd be looking at spending a lot more apparently http://www.evga.com/articles/00944/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-980-Ti-KINGPIN/

I dont understand the reviews on the Gigabyte 980 Ti xtreme, some reviewers complained about build quality, but this thing is really solid and really well constructed. It's officially the quietest card I have ever owned (had a strix 980 before this).Temps are quiet solid too, haven't tried oc much yet as I usually use a card at stock for a few days before pushing.

Overall I'm very pleased and cheers for the haribo's, ;)
 
I got 1430Mhz for my GTX 970. I haven't overclock anything. Not sure how mainly. It is still the same as it was back in the day with GTX 260/HD 4850 era?
 
Nice good stuff all round, and Humbug I'm not going to sweat the extra 4% asic, I was happy to see the Samsung memory most of all in honesty :) It seems Gigabyte are really shipping out some quality cards at a lot more affordable prices than the competition. I'm ashamed to say I have not owned a Gigabyte card since my Radeon 7500, have to say I'm pretty much converted now tbh :)

Yeah :)

TBH the difference between lets say 1450Mhz and 1500Mhz (if asic even matters in that) is nothing, its literally like 1 FPS in 80.

If you can clock to about 1450Mhz (most can) then you would need to be able to run at least 1600Mhz for it to make any more of a 'real' difference.
No Maxwell cards can run 1600Mhz 24/7, none that i know of, mine couldn't.

Its just bragging rights.

Precisely this yea, you're pretty much gunning for benchmark scores with the give or take on 1450 to 1500.
I would actually be quiet content with anywhere between 1400 and 1450 for day to day gaming...
 
Why are people so hung up over Asic values ? I had two OCUK identical 970's the one with the lower Asic clocked about 50mhz higher than the one with the higher Asic. would be interested to see actual data of Asic VS how well they clock.

It's quiet true to be honest, I had an evga 980 ftw with an asic of 84% I thought thats great but it was incredibly unstable at stock overclock and had to be underclocked to remain stable, the coil whine drove me nuts, I returned it and got a 980 oc strix and it sat at 1423/500 silent great temps and super stable. (68% asic)
For me I was happy to get Samsung memory as they seem to oc better than the hynix
