Is ASIC quality reliable ?

the 50mhz difference is probably negligible at best anyway
Actually 50mhz makes a fair bit of difference its not going to give you 10fps extra but 2-3 fps is possible. Haven't checked my temps but I am sure they are OK.

2-3 fps difference in most games makes very little difference, maybe if 7950's were budget cards those would help, but 7950's max MOST games so it's k 
@Dervious I really don't like the voltage lock idea , especially a 1.25v lock. my temps would be awful at that voltage.

Yeah but people will still endeavour to eek out a few fps here and there its all part of the fun of overclocking.

we spend more time 'playing' with our settings than playing our games that we're playing with the settings for ! its a big old fuster cluck !!

It`s what it came with. I assume Gigabyte are happy for the core to run at that voltage.
i have a gigabyte wf3 7950 i run it at 1150/1450 @ 1.225v for 24/7 use.
i have had 1200/1600 @1.237 (i think cant remember the volts i know it was around that)
havent tried to push any further the clocks u have at those volts is very very good espically as wf3 cards seem to all have pretty low asics with higher volts to get decent clocks but they all seem to manage it.
my card never goes above 63c (on auto profile) since setting a manual profile its not gone above 58c (havent tested it much and needs tweaking)
my asic is 59.9
stock volts: 1.094 (i can run 1000 on the core on the stock volts maybe a little more as stopped at this as was happy)

At 1.25 volts temp is almost certainly gonna be the thing that holds you back. My 7970 only needs 1.181 for 1200 on the core, but if I let the temp get above 65 degrees or so eventually the memory starts to artefact. Try keeping your card at 60 (edit - i've read the above post now) or lower and see what it will do

Oh lawd, guessing? Seriously could you be any more clueless than you already are?
ASIC means something, what's up for debate is how meaningful that something is. How did you work out that the software "guesses" the ASIC?
I've said this before, and I'll likely have to say it again beyond now, you need to engage your brain a bit more before making posts.
It only goes of readings and gives a score, thats guessing mate :\ it can not tell you if its a good OCer or not.
Maybe most high scores will be better but from what a lot of people are saying its just a guess as some low scores beat higher scores.
Now do you understand?
Its not 100% that a higher score means better OC its just a guess!

Guessing? LOL. Oh Jesus.
The relationship between ASIC quality and whatever, I believe it is the stock volts that the card will come out at. The link to ASIC and overclocking potential was a theory, nothing definitive.
Generally speaking, the high ASIC cards should in theory be better. But in practice it's all over the shop.
There's other parts of a graphics card that overclocks rely on for starters.
I thought the stock voltage for all GHz cards was 1.256v regardless of ASIC.

No it isn't.
I find GPU-Z a bit of a joke when it comes to Asic quality. If you get an old version of GPU-Z it may give your GPU a rating of say 91%, if you get a new version of GPU-Z you may find your rating has droped to 59%.
How can you take that seriously

No i said the Asic quality rating is a guess if the card will be a good OCer or not, obv it thinks higher % will be better then lower, if your both so smart you would have known what i ment.
Its still funny how everything i post you 2 come along and try look clever :\
Rusty has came to like 6 threads just to quote me, please mate do us both a favor and keep your opinions to yourself.
Higher Asic score does not mean better at overclocking.
In theory does mean the same thing.
Im guessing higher % score will be a better overclocker.
In theory higher % should be a better overclocker.
Theories are guesstimates its not proven so its a guess good day stalkers.
