The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

Well, the timeslot they are delivering it isn't going to work so paid £5 for delivery tomorrow.

So I'm praying for Samsung memory and high asic. What program do you use to test it?

I woudn't worry too much about what memory & ASCI you get.
I have Hynix memory & an ASIC of 74.2 & the card does well enough IMO

Memory does 8000mhz & GPU 1530mhz with no additional voltages for my 24/7 settings.

I've seen 1600mhz core & 8200mhz memory for a quick benchmark run with +70mv, although not 100% game stable it will run GPU-Z render test & Firestrike ok.

My Gainward 980ti shows an ASIC quality of 74.8 is that ok? not tried overclocking it yet but i will at some point

Memory is Hynix on mine btw.

Seems about average but honestly most of the time ASIC doesn't mean anything to people like us who are on air or even water.

An example is my current 980 Ti I got a few days ago has an ASIC of 73% yet overclocks to 1520 on the core, The 980 Ti I had before that had an ASIC of 78% yet fell over itself at 1420.

ah ok thanks for that info

ah ok thanks for that info

No problem bud but I'm sure someone will be in here momentarily to correct everything I've said

I really really hope this 980ti demolishes my 2GB 670 lol.

Sli is not worth the aggro. I don't think it has ever worked for me. My second card in Afterburner always showed 0% util. lol

Let us know what your thoughts are, I think you'll see a massive difference.

 

[robfosters]

I have just checked and the ASIC on my Gigabyte extreme gaming 980Ti is showing 72.4%. Should this card overclock OK with that reading?

 

[BriT]

Can't see why not, above 70% is generally good.

Well i have seem a big difference coming from a 780 @1440p this thing just flies along you will be impressed dont worry lol

 

[robfosters]

I went from a 4gb 670 and the difference is enormous. Probably the biggest performance leap I've had from a hardware upgrade.

 

[X584EVA]

Ordering my 980 Ti in just over a weeks time. So excited!

I just wish I had done so sooner because I would have preferred a free Tomb Raider instead of The Division. Hopefully I can find someone to do swaps with!

 

[TheF34RChannel]

Those worried about their ASIC score should benefit from reading back a bit, the posts by Dicehunter and Kaapstad, I believe?

Doesn't EVGA still do tomb raider?

 

[GAM8LE]

It arrived Installed and benched and all is well, temps aren't that bad either but I will definitely need to install an additional fan.

Also going to buy a new SLI bridge so its not an orange mess lol

Very nice and those white cables look very sleek!

 

[Raiden85]

Looking very nice, do like those white cables.

As far as im aware when it comes to GPU ASIC Quality, the higher the % the less voltage is used/needed to run at set clockspeeds which in turn means less heat. Now i don't think there is a massive difference in this unless we are talking 15 - 20%+ asic difference.

Also ive yet to find any correlation between ASIC quality and over clocking capability. EVGA would have you to believe there is and higher is better.

I want to say higher is slightly better from experience but ive not exactly looked into it i just know higher ASIC less voltage is likely to be used or required to run at set clock speeds.

That's pretty much it. Same overclocking capabilities but lower ASIC cards might need a bit more voltage to get there. With a bit of silicon lottery thrown into the mix.

You can push 1.29 volts plus (on water) with these cards anyway using a custom Bios, and still be within comfortably safe operating parameters. They are great overclockers and can take some serious welly!

Might Lightning is only in the 60's % wise! Still a beast though and the cooler is amazing!
