Is there a software to determine ASIC quality?

There is no place like 127.0.0.1
In blockchain we trust

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Oo)
Gpu-z is the way to go
right click on gpu-z(on the upper corner, where it says gpu-z) and select asic quality

Komuto Herovato is definitely the chief engineer of bfl)

It only works on some Nvidia cards and 78xx 79xx series cards |

More specifically, a LINUX software. Why so much Windblows specific software ? MSI AB, GPU-Z, RBE ... makes me sad  |

I am very jealous indeed. I do plan on getting a 7970 soon. I just decided. So if 71% asic quality is good... what is bad? How well would a 100% clock?
100% is very very very rare. Those cards are worth top dollar. I'd say average is low 70's. Theres the 7970 owners thread which lists all of the ASIC qualities people have gotten to give you an idea. I was scowering ebay for an 80% by messaging the owners, but a majority were average. But this was a deal I couldn't turn down. (I would've if it was < 70% though. Close!) A 100% card would have a crazy high clock with stock volts. But under water it doesn't matter much. Most chips behave the same, because the core stays <40C compared to 80C. I think asic quality makes the most difference at higher temps. (granted if you have 70C water passing over your card from a CRAZY clock, lol..) |

Since gpuz is techpowerup software I just went there. Found some threads about people posting their scores. Several had 7970's in the 90% area. When I do get a 7970, I might check this and return it if I don't like it.How can you do that ? More specifically, how can you do that in the UK ...  |

Open gpuz. Check asic quality. If it was 70%+ I would probably just be lazy and keep it. If I got a 50% I would return it and buy another in hopes it was better. Can you not return items in the uk? Newegg in the US has great customer service. I have read, as I don't have the money, that some people will buy like 3-4 gpu's and then see which one that clocks best for them and return the rest. That is so damn wrong. |

Then tell your buddy about your return and see if he can go buy the open box card(now used) at a discount.

I've actually accidentally done this at Frys. I've bought a motherboard before which kept crashing, and I returned it. Then I figured out it was actually my RAM was incompatible and I actually wanted that motherboard model. So I went back to the shelf and picked the open-box item they had. Turns out I got the same motherboard back at a 5% markdown. Oops. |
