The ASIC benching thread, what does yours boost up to ?

You need to get GPUZ to record the max values the same as in the OP.
 
Surely temperatures depends more on cooling than anything?

I mean we have a:
Gigabyte Wind Force 970 pushing 1550Mhz @ 62c and 1.206v
And:
Gigabyte G1 Gaming 970 pushing 1563Mhz @ 63c and 1.225v

Surely the former with its lesser cooler, lower temps and lower volts at pretty much the same Mhz would indicate the formed is the better quality GPU?

And this has nothing to do with the fact that the former is my GPU. :D

There are no winners and losers in this bench, the whole idea is to allow people to see what results from different temps, voltages and ASICs.

The order of the table is determined by the highest clockspeed achieved but I could just as easily ordered it using any of the other results.

The way to use the table is as a whole and the viewer must draw their own conclusions.:)
 
Have you noticed any trends yet Kaapstad?

I've noticed that my 980Ti's are of the lowest ASIC % but of the highest volts (custom BIOS), and certainly not the highest max boost clock.

I think later I'll put the original BIOS back on the cards and record what happens. Before I flashed them I noticed that although they are "identical" cards they had different max VDDC which did affect their clocks a small amount.

It is a little to early for treads to start standing out but there are hints there. We are starting to see the things that we would expect like Higher ASIC is better for boost, high temps are bad and some evidence that high ASIC needs less voltage for the same clocks.

One thing I will be following is GPUs from the same family and how the size of the active silicon effecting ASIC. For example the TitanXs as a group seem to have a lower ASIC than GTX 980 Ti's as a group and 290Xs again seem to be slightly lower than 290Ps as a group. Could it be that GPUs with bigger cores do on average have slightly lower ASICs than GPUs with smaller cores within the same family. At the moment it is too difficult to come to any conclusions but the more results we get the clearer things will become.:)
 
Ran mine again now I have the 2nd card and thought this result interesting.

I have them both set at +106 power (maximum) and pushed them to +65 core / +20 mem. It started becoming unstable any higher and would revert to a lower boost.

What caught my eye was the VDDC for the 2nd card (83% vs 80% ASIC) and how much lower voltage it draws. Is this to be expected as its SLI?

Would I be best to move the higher one as my 1st card, or would this not make much difference?

I would try swapping them around.

And on the scoreboard.:)

Normally good practice to put your best card in slot 1 as sometimes it can squeeze a little more performance out of the other cards. It is also good for when SLI is not available.:)
