Finally found time to get my Titan X waterblock on my stock EVGA GTX 980Ti. Asic is 76.4. Currently just started my overclock testing, rock solid at +250 on the core, +275 needs some vcore.

This helped out in understanding what it means...

That out to calm the ASIC folks down a bit.

Hahahah probably not.... :)

They can't handle the truth, huh!

65.7   980ti hybrid  1500-1550 without voltage. is good or not?

Just got my very first EVGA product - a 980ti - The last GFX Card for me in the years to come, as the wife is preggo

 
The Card is amazing and runs 4K lovely - but it actually have a hard time staying at the promised clock speeds, and drops below! the 1100 mark.. in Company of Heroes 2, or Heroes and Generals, in order to stay below 85C - It runs hot - VERY HOT.
Fan is at 60-65% and ever so noisy.
 
I'm in a open case.. loads of Air.. ambient temp at 22 - summer in Denmark..
ASIC Quality is 55%
 
I cant help feeling like I bought a MSI product.. Sadly The Überness of EVGA didnt come with the box in my case.
 
Anyway, my question to you, my Fellow EVGA customers (or EVGA Customer Relations), and I hope you can help me with this
As I have just  ordered a Hybrid Watercooled Kit, to remedy the noise and temps.

 
- will I break any warranty installing it, on a 'maybe' faulty Card ?

First I would check if the thermal paste was applied correctly, thankfully you can do this without voiding the warranty. This could explain high temps and the downclocking.
 
Something is definately wrong with your card.
 
If this doesn't help I would contact EVGA.

So if I was to get like a 98% ASIC quality on my 980 Ti, would it resell for more?

77.0% here on SC+

Samples with 95% ASIC go directly in lab, King personally want to play with them.
That's not for ordinary humans... Imagine how much could cost EVGA with Jacob and K|NGP|N signature, sample from 1st place Futuremark Hall of Fame.
I think between 2000-3000$ on Ebay. 
 
All of them are 90+ ASIC... 

 
Looks like weight of only graphic card is 1.5kg.
I love EVGA KP and Classified cards because they are story for self and all others who want to build similar cards their first task is to build 2 phase more than EVGA, 2 pin connectors more than EVGA, 5MHz more than EVGA and that's their advertising, they didn't alone start first to build such muscled graphics.

Because he make more records than anybody else with GeForce graphic cards and long time they work together.
On that way EVGA and build own name, smaller than other companies but in one moment before 6-7 years all most famous and best overclockers worked with EVGA.
Probably because they had there more space to work on best way than in other company, but later ASUS offer money and start to invest more and more in marketing, overclocking events, and ASUS make profits on many field, not only motherboards and graphic cards and could invest more to present self in best possible way to enthusiast.
 

Listen this... if ASUS decide to become generous as EVGA and to award normal people, gamers instead to buy hundreds of extreme processors and offer on their competition to present self as winner in battle against self... than if we look size of company, profit, number of employers their award content will worth around 500.000$ in gifts, motherboards, graphic cards, processors, headphones, sound cards, etc for gamers... They had 20 years anniversary I think they didn't offer 3 high end motherboards together in same time. Maybe... I can't remember. Even more important thing...they don't want to build normal service to help people... I don't talk about some people on streets, they pay them lot for their products and they don't want to respect someones time and nerves and build normal communication.
They answer on question What someone should buy will always be faster than technical support and help for people with problems and that's very bad.
But because of that EVGA have most loyal fans of all companies. People buy them because they have good motherboard and they are always present in production of motherboards for server rack, workstations and there they build experience and from all companies who produce constant such motherboards only two more offer something and for gamers ASRock and GIGABYTE and ASUS have better gaming series, better to say better designed and little finer and company have better taste, because of that they have buyers... But they could much much better with their knowledge, production facilities and money with more effort... Example EVGA mentality with ASUS investments that would be first class, but they don't care and than people are faced with bugs and problems, sometimes even more than MSI or ASRock example... Only that dominance in design compare to other Asian companies decide in most cases.
One guy told me he start to like ASUS because he first hear for them and when he looked finished configuration always PC with ASUS hardware was more expensive and on that way people become their fans, more expensive, famous name=better.

I hear that on 2-3 more place, but maybe owners only mistake in numbers, it happen.
If they have 72.5 and example pay attention on 75% on some other place after some time maybe they thought they have 75% ASIC.
But maybe really reading is not same as before after checking with different GPU-Z,  probably not...

ASIC scores don't matter when it comes to comparing 106FPS VS 120FPS
. Unless you really really really need to have your monitor capped out at 120fps at all times........

I know , ASIC only maters for extreme over clocking (ln2/dice/phasechange)

74.1 on my EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrid

76.8% Evga 980 ti hybrid. 

Reference 980ti (06G-P4-4990-KR) was 70.6; swapped it for an ACX 2.0+ (06G-P4-4991-KR) that is 75.1,
980TI Hybrid (06G-P4-1996-KR) is 67.1
