Sorry to come up  with this again, but ...still no trace of Classified  in EU..

Does anyone know why the TDPs (even when running a single card) never seem to exceed 80-90%?  I tried enabling the max performance setting in the nvidia control panel and doesn't seem to help.  Been through the proper uninstall/reinstall (uninstall programs one at a time, reboot, Drive Sweeper, clean install of just Graphics/PhysX drivers) process numerous times to no avail.

It depends on several factors as far as I know -

1. Driver support and optimization for the given application
2. Settings (both in app and graphics card) - are you using anything that will limit frame rates? Vsync, frame rate target, etc.?
3. The application its self. Some applications will draw 100%+ on your GPU, while others will limit much lower. An example would be some stress testing applications versus actual gameplay.

 
That being said, high 80's to 90% is rather good optimization and would indicate things are working as intended most likely. If you're seeing 60-70%, that could be due to some actual issue (this has been seen with poor driver support for games in the past, and some 3d support as well, for example in Skyrim)

Unless I'm doing something wrong my classifieds are crashing on the Unigine  Valley Benchmark with my stats @ GPU clock +132 Mem Clock @ 144 mV @ +38 with my temps reading 56C on GPU1 and 48C on GPU2.

Got my classified and installed it today.  ASIC is at 74.6%.

 
I have one at 84% and my other at 83.8%. What's the standard ASIC for a classified?

I read the lower ASIC the better OC it does.

 
I thought it was the higher it was the better the chip. 

Killuchen,
You got probably got two very good cards, and the rating so close to identical, perfect cards for sli, should overclock the same without one holding the other back

From my past experience with 3x 680 the higher asic card overclocked higher and was more stable on water.

Mine is 77.9...

Jury is still out for me and what that raiting means in real world use/oc...

 
Lol, I'm trying! I keep getting unstable clocks and my benchmarks keep crashing -_-

From when I did extensive testing with the 680 classifieds (I had 4 of them), I noticed there was a loose correlation between ASIC and max performance, however not necessarily direct. 
 
The biggest factor in my max OC in that case was the out of the box boost. I had one card doing 1215 out of the box, and it hit a hard wall at 1450mhz @1.35v. The rest of them did slightly lower out of the box and max (1400-1430). The card that OC'ed the highest however was not the highest ASIC. 
 
Given this information (though sample size is relatively small and certainly not conclusive), I would say ASIC is not a guaranteed determining factor in maximum card potential. It could be, but it is not always.

So asic has nothing to do with anything, but it could have everything to do with everything.  Got it.  

 
It actually appears to be just that 

If the ASIC score is so useless, then why do they even have it?

"EVbot cap on the 780 is 1.5v."
 
On my Classy's the  EvBot reads the following for the limits:  for NVVDD goes up to 1.8v, FBVDD up to 2.0, and PEXVDD up to 1.562.  But have not been anywhere near those limits.

On my Classy's the  EvBot reads the following for the limits:  for NVVDD goes up to 1.8v, FBVDD up to 2.0, and PEXVDD up to 1.562.  But have not been anywhere near those limits.

 
Correct, however it's not an EVBot device cap I'm referring to, but the maximum voltage allowed by overcurrent protection built into the card. As with the 680's, you could set your evbot to 1.8v on the core and it will take it as high as the card can physically run (on the 680's, this was 1.35v, for the 780, presumably 1.5v).

Understood ...  I do know we have another option called OCP which is either normal or extreme.  I think the extreme setting allows higher voltages to be set.  This option does not show up when 770 Classified use EvBot ...
