Your GPU silicon quality. GPU-Z ASIC Test

Every gpu is different by quality, the silicon wafers are not similar to one another even tough the product is the same

To test this on notebooks i've created this thread. This is also to have a rough estimation on how good the quality of a GPU silicon is from a particular vendor.

GPU-z has new ASIC quality testing. this measures the quality of your GPU silicon sample (higher= less leaks, more quality)


In a nutshell, the higher score= less power consumption, cooler, OC's better on air/water/ln2.


YOU HAVE TO USE THE LATEST VERSION OF GPU-Z


Supported GPU's

nVIDIA Fermi series (40nm)
nVIDIA Kepler series (28nm)
AMD Southern Islands 28nm



Post your GPU ASIC test here (must be done on stock clocks)

format of submission


[GPU name, memory type, architecture, Vendor, vbios, pci state, single/sli, system, score]

example

[GF 9400m, 256mb ddr2, G80, Apple, [vbios], PCI 1.0, Macbook 5.1, single, ASIC xxx%]

[GTX 580m, 2048mb ddr5, Fermi, Dell, [vbios], PCI 2.0 x16 @ x16 2.0, M17x R3, single, ASIC xxx%]

and with a screenshot (if possible)

For people with dual GPU's post the master card first then the slave/secondary card


Example of one is like this one done on a MSI GTX 580 lightning 1.5gb (good cores are used in top of the line products like the lightning series)

tip: don't hover the ASIC window over the main GPU-z window

Spoiler

this is taken from a entry class GTX 580 (eVGA 580 SC)

Good luck!

I think this has been mentioned before. I tried it, but it gave me some error. Probably due to the switchable graphics.

 

EVGA GTX 460 1GB 104.9%

 

Cooooool, I am going to try this when I get home.

 

[GTX 580m, 2048mb ddr5, Fermi, Clevo, [70.24.31.00.02], PCI 2.0 x16 @ x16 2.0, P170HM3, single, ASIC 77,9%]

 

Same here under Optimus, pita. I drop back to desktop in 3d app, then run HW monitor.

This may be all be a waste of bandwitdth. I'm reading the better grade of "sand" may not clock as high as the power burners.

GPU-Z 5.8 Cool Feature-ASIC Quality - AnandTech Forums

 

[GTX 580m, 2048mb ddr5, Fermi, Dell, [70.24.2B.00.06], PCI 2.0 x16 @ x16 2.0, m17x-r3, single, ASIC 78,3%]

 

my 485m 78.1

 

How do I run the test? (Read me says ASIC quality for Fermi and Southern Islands so may not work on Blackcomb?)

 

Click the upper left of the main window and select ACIS Test, took me a while to figure it out

 

Thanks, It dose not work on the 6990.

 

GTX 580M, 2048MB GDDR5, Fermi, Alienware, 70.24.2B.00.06, PCI-E 1.1 x16 @ x16 1.1, M17x-R3, single, ASIC 82.8%

​

 

Yeah just noticed that it only works for Nvidia cards.

 

Here:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/641118-asic-quality-tests.html

 

Updated with result and updated OP

 

Dang I wanted to test my 5870.

 

ya, i guess we have to wait for support on Radeon/ATi Cards

 

Not even all nvidia cards. 360m not supported heh.

 

:/

Never knew anout the 300 series

I guess we should wait for that too

 

[GT 420m, DDR3, fermi, Dell, , PCI 2.0x16 @ 16 1.1, single, dell xps L510x, 55.4%]

I think I have the lowest score here but then again I do ahve a low-end chip

 

The score is determined not by the low or high end the GPU is but it measures a GPU silicon production quality

Also, updated OP with instruction on how to post for dual gpu sytems

 

does not work with mine.

... probably cause it saw my >50% OC and got scared, lol

 

Did u try running it at stock (reference) clocks?

Thanks, but can you take another screenshot withour the ASIC result window blocking the GPU-Z? Thanks

I also added this to the OP

 

GPU-Z

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ

y u no support radeon cards

 

sorry dude, we'll just have to wait for that

 

[GT 555M, 1024MB DDR3, Fermi, LG, [70.26.3c.00.f8()], PCI 2.0 x16 @ x16 2.0, P330-UE70K, single, ASIC 97.4%]

 

That's a golden chip

 

I suppose this is one of the things that counts towards loving your notebook more and more as you explore it. Robohgedhang, another P330 owner, managed to snag 94.8%.

 

My desktop MSI GTX460 hit 70%

 

How far does the scale go anyway? I noticed yknyong1 got 104.9%...

 

awww, I wanted to check my dear old surfing notebook. It have served me well

 

Wow, nice. Added to list

Indeed, he's really lucky to get that chip

can you post the GPU-z score as well as the card type (vanilla, cyclone 1/2 cooler, etc)

sorry for that dude, we'll have to wait for support on older cards, try updating drivers (that one u have is really old) or bios (vga/system)

or either that evga sample is extremely lucky or a bug in the ASIC test

 

There has been nothing so far that would prove this "reading" is not just a practical joke. Does anyone even know what it checks and how it comes up with those numbers?

 

GPU-Z is able to present an ASIC quality value embedded in the chip at fabrication. I think that's why it only works for Fermi and Southern Island GPUs.

Sure am. Still, have a look at the P330 owner's thread. Everyone so far has gotten over 90%.

 

It slipped my mind to do ASIC Quality testing of Kepler... :X

 

If I don`t remember wrong you get lower ASIC if your die was closer to edge or something too

 

Just checked on my desktop:
[eVGA GTX 570 HD SC, 1280MB GDDR5, Fermi GF110, PCI 2.0 x16, ASIC 84.1%]

 

It measures so called "defects" of the chip.

 

Does gpu-z support kepler yet? If yes, please post some 600-series ASIC test

^^ that means that the HD 7000 series (28nm) would be compatible with ASIC test. I wonder of anybody has the HP DV6/7 with the 7000-series can do an ASIC test


woah dude, didn't know about that.

Good sample, added to list

 

It's stated several places that that's the case (HD 7800 series and above), but I just tried checking the ASIC quality on a stock Sapphire 7970 card and it failed. One thing to note is that the card was running an outdated driver (preview I think) in case such things even affect it.

 

Heres mine:

[GTX 485m, 2048mb GDDR5, GF104, Clevo/Kapok, 70.04.2D.00.03 (P1044-011), PCI 2.0 x16 @ x16 2.0, P150HMX, single, ASIC 75,1%]

 

yay

LG P330, GT555m 1024mb ddr3

 

WOW!!!!!!!!

 

Also tried this on my Alienware M14x and the wife's Clevo W150HNQ (Sager NP5160). The results:

[(Alienware M14x) GeForce GT 555M, 3072MB GDDR3, Fermi GF106, PCI-E 2.0 x16, ASIC 86.6%]

[(Clevo W150HNQ) GeForce GT 540M, 1024MB GDDR3, Fermi GF108, PCI-E 2.0 x16, ASIC 76.5%]

 

Can you do another test with the updated sapphire 7970? Gladly appreciate if you can

Added to the list

wow, another 90+. I wonder if there's anybody with a P330 scoring 100% on the ASIC test

Thank you, added to list

 

Possibly my bad. I might have forgotten to set the correct GPU in GPU-Z. Can't know for sure since I installed the latest driver before reading the ASIC Quality.

[Radeon HD 7970, 3072MB GDDR5, Tahiti, Sapphire, [015.012.000.004.000346 (113-C3860100-100)], PCI-E 3.0 x16 @ x16 3.0, single, ASIC 64.7%]

 

Thank you

Here's mine.
