Hi guys, if you have a AMD/nVidia GPU you can read the ASIC quality from GPUZ, open GPUZ, click the green icon on top left corner of the window, click Read ASIC quality, post it here with a screenshot of your GPUZ if possible, I need to do some research.

FYI ASIC quality means nothing in real life apart from LN2 OC, but might give us an indication how much refining/binning AMD/nVidia is doing, and which partner gets the better chips.

Here is mine.
ASIC Quality : 74% :)

@OP ASIC quality is the quality of silicon used to manufacture your GPU.

The higher the ASIC quality, the greater OC possible on air. The lower the ASIC quality, the greater OC possible on liquid coolants. It signifies voltage leakage in the GPU, the higher, the less voltage leakage.

I had 2 and I didn't want to separate them. So it's true...... Lenovo didn't cherry pick 750m cards and some exist with lower asic than some 650ms

I am interested in under load temps. :D

*i.imgur.com/0QU1IiM.png

30min NFS:R at highest settings & 1080; 23-25ish fps throughout.
GPU load dips are when I alt-tabbed out of the game to monitor temps, for some reason msi afterburner OSD doesn't work with NFS:R x64, for me atleast.

--update--
I can do easy 1.2ghz on core with modded BIOS and no over-volting.
Modded vBios and Bios can be found by searching "svl y500 tech inferno" on Google.

Mine doesn't support either.

My GPU is HD 4600. :p :lol:

How do I see, there's no option for it ?
Mine is HD 7770, same as rijinpk1

Click on the green icon (similar to a gpu) on the top left. You'll get the option there.

Half an hour is usually not enough to reach the top temps. BTW nice temps, I reach those temps when I do Crysis 3 for 3 mins..........stays at mid 70s for first half hour and then constantly increases upto 80 and then stays there forever.

I think NFS Rivals should run at a little higher FPS, I easily get 24-28 on a SINGLE GT650M OC(core at just 20 Mhz more).

As expected, the GT750M runs at a higher voltage, the 1.2Ghz should make the temps skyrocket.

I think GPUs that don't allow overclocking(I am looking at you AMD mobile series) have no use for ASIC quality so they don't support it.

Re: Check & Post Your GPU ASIC Quality!

Ok, so I played for an hour and here are the results:

NFS:R at max possible settings+1080 and 32bit version with gamepad and laptop on the table.
MSI afterburner OSD:
1058C/1249M constant.
GPU Load was mostly 99%
Avg FPS was more like 28-30 for most of the part and those dense woods saw more like 23ish with GPU load at 99%.
Temp. settled at 74c and was sometimes hopping to 73c when GPU load went south of 99 which happened mostly on highways and other low complexity scenes.
NVIDIA drivers are the latest BETA.

It's amazing the temps are so low. Are you using a notebook cooler? I bet NFS Rivals reaches 30 FPS extremely rarely and stays at mostly 28. Try increasing the clocks to 1.2Ghz, I bet you can max the game out then.
