TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.5.8 Released
TechPowerUp today released the latest version of GPU-Z, our popular video subsystem information and diagnostic utility that provides you with accurate information about the graphics hardware installed, and lets you monitor their clock speeds, fan speeds, voltages, VRAM consumption, etc., in real-time. Version 0.5.8 introduces two new features. The first one is a render test that applies sufficient load (not stress) on the GPU to pull it out of PCI-Express link-state power-management, to ensure the Bus information is accurate. If you find the PCI-Express bus link speed or PCIe version displayed incorrectly, simply click on the "?" button next to the field to launch the load test.
The next new feature is ASIC quality, designed for NVIDIA Fermi (GF10x and GF11x GPUs) and AMD Southern Islands (HD 7800 series and above), aimed at advanced users, hardware manufacturers, and the likes. We've found the ways in which AMD and NVIDIA segregate their freshly-made GPU ASICs based on the electrical leakages the chips produce (to increase yield by allotting them in different SKUs and performance bins), and we've found ways in which ASIC quality can be quantified and displayed. Find this feature in the context menu of GPU-Z. We're working on implementing this feature on older AMD Radeon GPUs.

GPU-Z 0.5.8 seems to be reading my pixel fill rate wrong - 5.5 reads it fine.
0.5.8
0.5.5
I've gone over my quota of explaining the fill rate thing, so I will let someone else do that.
Pretty crappy lol :slap:
I'm flattered, but I feel like the calculations might need some tweaking.
As a side note, I haven't pushed the limits of the card (or felt the need to), but the stock VID is 0.987 V.
732@845@955 core
I don't think Asus cherry picks the GPUs for this card, it's just good at cooling.
Bit disappointing to have the confirmation like...
:(
I cant find any good Info about what ASIC actually is..and how i need to refeer to it. Also less% means higher leakage and mroe % means less? is that right?
Heres a screen of my mighty GTX460 :):nutkick:
I really would appreciate more Info about this ASIC thing..
Thank u very much Wizz....looking forward to it :)

lower leakage = higher voltage
higher leakage = lower voltage
if you are a overclocker you want higher leakege (=lower voltages) chips..

It's funny though that this same card had an impressive OC of 1.5GHz!!
GTX460 768 40%
GTX460 41.1%
GTX470 59.5%
GTX580 98.2%
hmm unchanged for me
