Ladies and Gentlemen, its official!
We now have our new leader!:)
 
Does this mean I have a bad chip? Is a measurement of electrical leakage right?

As I understand it this is a big test of nothingness:D People report that their better OC cards have lower % scores and nobody knows with certainty what these %ges stand for. So do not fret;)
 
I wonder if this "measure" is impacted by overclocking.

Maybe overclocked GPUs appear as lower scores as they are running close to their maximum speed?

That's a vague stab in the dark you understand....;)

Anyone tried at stock and o/c'ed and seen a different score?
 
67% on my 580, sounds bad but......the cards never let me down and OC's fine.

I think you shouldn't worry about this ASIC thing at all.

I changed my OC and score didnt change. I dont even understand what the numbers mean :p
 
Looks like the tool was made for nVidia cards mainly...it benches the 470 but not the 6970..i'm sure we will find out when Kepler comes out... They will have crazy scores.

Read somewhere on google about general use of asic and found out that networking giants (CISCO) implementation of asic has to do with the way data packets are currently been switched out of their network (managed) switch interface, i.e Ethernet/gigethernet/. According to Cisco, 6 - 8 years ago, packet switching was done in software by most companies that built managed switches.. which meant the data took more time to tranverse the network,( this was not the case for them though, as they had CEF. Cisco express forwarding) Now packet switching is been dealt with by the hardware, which inturn provides greater throughput... Whatever that means... Don't ask me!! :D
