Gigabyte SOC gtx480.

I think it'll be interesting to see how the 4xx series compares to the 5xx series with this.

 

[Duff-Man]

67.4% (GTX480) and 99.1% (GTX480).

The one rated at 67.4% is the better clocker so... :|

True, but I expect they'll all be significantly lower

67.4% (GTX480) and 99.1% (GTX480).

Or not, lol

 

[arc@css]

I wonder what a reference gtx480 would be like? Mine seems low for a non-reference model.

 

[xsistor]

Odd ! OP seems to have the same bug as me ! My card is apparently running PCIE 1.1

That's cos it's downclocked and idling.
It's not a bug it's a feature

56.6 is good for a 480 I imagine

edit: Or perhaps I spoke too soon

67.4% (GTX480) and 99.1% (GTX480).

That 99.1% could well be a bug. There are a few results that are anomalous and above 100% even.

Looked at quit a few results else where and the 4 series tend to have a much lower percentage than the 5 series. Obviously some 4 series do well but the majority seem to be in the 50-60s compared with 80s for the 5 series.

Is the 99.1% card in the second slot?

 

[Duff-Man]

Is the 99.1% card in the second slot?

Yes... Could well be a bug of some kind.

Seems the 4xx series were leaking a lot, looks like nvidia tried to fix it in the 5xx series.

My 470's cant go any further than 815mhz without being unstable.

 

[arc@css]

I have mananged to get mine to function at 900mhz in benchmarks but it isn't stable, something like 850 - 870 is fine.

 

[Jokester]

I'm thinking it's because the card goes into low power mode or something when not in 3D mode so it's leakage will be greatly decrease. If that's the case then GPU-Z is working it out on the fly, it would be worth trying it again with some 3D running to see if it's different.

@ALXAndy, They've also added a ? symbol next to the PCI-E speed. If you click it there is a render test that will clock up your GPU and this will also show the correct PCI-E version.

I used the render test to load the GPU and then ran the ASIC quality, and it stays the same. Will be interesting to see if Duffman sees any change.

Release day POV reference 480.

 

[D13]

64.3!?!?!? get the **** outta here

msi gtx 460 cyclone btw. doesnt matter to me as i dont like ot oc, but it would have been nice to say i got a high %90 asic when i sell it

Sweet.. Right, let's see then... Yup that's it, shot to 2.0

Yeah I also loaded mine up with Furmark when I ran it to see if thered be any difference, reported same under load as at desktop

 

[Mr. May]

Zotac gtx 480 AMP edition

So what is the relevance of this ?

 

[MDPlatts]

Sapphire HD7970CF - 75.9% and 65.3%

Presumably it might affect the o/c ability of one compared to the other or cause breakdown if pushed too hard/too long.
