1. Download the new version of GPU-Z
2. Check your ASIC quality (Right-click on the titlebar of the GPU-Z window and from the popup menu menu select "Read ASIC Quality..."

Post it here.
(There are still some kinks to work out so some may get over 100%)

Here's mine:
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 580
ASIC Quality: 86.6%

On another forum its says.

"The next new feature is ASIC quality, designed for NVIDIA Fermi (GF10x and GF11x GPUs) and AMD Southern Islands (HD 7800 series and above), aimed at advanced users, hardware manufacturers, and the likes. We've found the ways in which AMD and NVIDIA segregate their freshly-made GPU ASICs based on the electrical leakages the chips produce (to increase yield by allotting them in different SKUs and performance bins), and we've found ways in which ASIC quality can be quantified and displayed."

Application Specific Integrated Circuit - quite what the relevance is I've got no idea.

It's an indication of the quality of the ASIC. It can give some indication as to the binning, and ultimately, overclockability of your GPU.

Main reason I made this thread is to see if there is any sort of trend emerging if we get a big enough sample. (Like Lightning cards, or EVGA SC/Classified etc having higher values).

Might also be useful to see how far people have managed to overclock their GPUs.
