    Download TechPowerUp GPU-Z v0.5.9 | techPowerUp

    This only works for Fermi and Southern Islands card.
    Basically, Higher is better. More details can be seen in the screenshot.

    I'll start with my G73 GTX 460m.
    (GF106, revision A1)

    ASIC quality: 76.5%

    80.3%
    Post your overclocks as well. Mine is stable at around 810 MHz at stock clocks, and did 880 FurMark and Mafia 2 stable on 0.9625v. However, shutdowns occur.

    G53SW, GTX460M
    86.0%

    790/1546/1580
    800mhz isn't even 100% stable :(
    With 1V vbios I can get 824mhz but then temp reach 93°C, GPU throttle down and I get worse performances after a few minutes...

    What does ASIC Quality measure?

    It gives me 81% no matter default clocks, gaming clocks, or bench clocks.

    I got 84.3% on G73SW-3DE GTX460M. But 92.6% with GPU-Z 0.5.8, it's strange. Have you guys tried 0.5.8 with different readings? BTW, I can overclock to 830/1660/1480 stable, 850 core or 1500 memory will get the driver to corrupt and recover to default clock.

    That's pretty much what happens for me, get 92.0% in 5.8, but get 84.0% in 5.9. Wonder if maybe it is just because it is more accurate this time, or how they are detecting it is still not all that accurate.

    I'm undervolting and running default core, but 675mhz memory. I have overclocked in the past before the under volt, and I was hitting 850core/750mem. Overclocking with the undervolt, I can achieve 775core/700mem fairly easy, but haven't really tried to find the max.

    After seeing everyone's result...I felt a bit upset
    Almost everyone's ASIC quality has a percentage higher than 80 except mine :(

    I am more upset than you. Did you see my score, it's only 76%. Yesterday i have changed my HDD to Momentus XT thinking that WEI, 3DMark06 etc will be at least a bit higher. But everything remains same though programs loads little faster. I had a flickering or hiccup(whatever you call it) problem while launcing NFS-THE RUN, the problem still exist. I dont know what causing this....has anyone with GTX460M having this problem?

    Hi Lvldeath, just a quick question- does your machine produce sound as you get 2 HDD? I had one default for my g53sx, but recently insterted momentus xt which is primary hdd now. I am thinking what will be noise level. So i wanna compare it with you

    well, the only "noise" I hear is the one that the fans make.
    the G73 machine is cool and silent.
    on the top left corner.

    can't remember,
    i think both are working - the speed and noise depends on the temparature.
    i'll check this out when i get home from work :)

    Hi Catzoo, is your GPU DDR3 (From your signature), shouldn't it be DDR5?

    67.4%

    Ouccchh. To be fair, this is at a high overclock and overvolt on a desktop card.

    Have yet to see a solid real life link between ASIC and quality of the GPU...

    How do they even calculate it? Have not found any info. It might as well be a huge prank, lol.
