Anyone check their ASIC quality with GPUZ? mine is 64.3% was wondering how that compares to the average.
 
edit: also, I've noticed a few differences between my GTX 680 and the kingpin:
 
More power usage by about 120w under load (very expected)
Louder (somewhat expected wasn't sure how the much better cooler balances out the much higher power usage and heat that would no doubt result)
Hotter (expected)
doesn't OC as well (given that it's already has a heavy OC on it at factory OC, kind of surprising, but I get artifacts at +100mhz compared to being able to run my 680 at +200 mhz)
ASIC quality is lower (but then again that may be apple to oranges)
Much better performance (so expected It goes without saying really)

Do people simply look at the memory to know what it is,  or is there another way?

You can use Nvidia Inspector to check the memory. http://download.orbmu2k.de/download.php?id=51
Just hover your mouse over the GDDR5 text for memory type to be revealed.

From other people, most seem to post around 70ish on OCN, but 64.3 is crap, they must not bin these either.

I have never put faith into ASIC, since for me at least it has always not meant a better OC.
 
But if you really want put faith in ASIC, then theses cards should actually have a lower ASIC. Lower ASIC chips are better for Dice/LN2/extreme water, which is what these cards were made for (at least that was the impression EVGA gave). 
 
They show it on the ASIC chart

I don't know if I should get one of these cards, or wait for the rumored Titan "Black Edition". I imagine the Titan Black Edition will become reality, makes sense I think as it would be a fully unlocked Titan with 6GB of VRAM and better DP performance. Still just rumors but it seems very likely now.
 
The only thing really that would make a difference to me is 3GB vs 6GB. I will be getting a G-Sync monitor when they are released. The ASUS ROG Swift looks great but it's 1440p so I would need all the GPU horsepower I can get, it would also use more VRAM because of its higher resolution although exactly how much more I don't know. I currently play games on a 1080p monitor and I've monitored my VRAM usage while playing a few games and the most I've seen is Crysis 1 (don't have Crysis 3 yet) use around 1100MB - 1200MB with every setting on Very High. Do you guys think I would be fine with 3GB? I don't know if 3GB would be a bottleneck when playing at 1440p. 
 
I won't be putting either card under water or anything like that, both cards would be used purely on air. 
 
 

You get what you want, and what's compatible with your rig
If you wait, you only prolong the "longevity" of your specific card by a few months anyhow
You buy the Titan Black Edition, 3 months later the 880 Ti comes out and spanks it
It's an endless cycle, you get what you want and you satisfy that bi-annual fetish of flipping cards lol

I've been out of the PC gaming world for a bit because of this cycle
I've got an Xbox One, but right now the graphics are actual garbage even compared to my GT 640M GK107 2GB card
BF3 looks better on my laptop than BF4 on my Xbox one
I decided to build a monster, and this card is really unique, some people don't like the shroud, I love it
So I decided to grab one, pretty much any card would smoke my xbox one, but the K|NGP|N caught my attention and I really like it, also the backplate inclusion is very nice

To each their own though

Anyone else have any OC results they want to share? I got mine up to about +50mhz over it's factory OC.

I got to play a little bit more yesterday and my stable clocks on stock (on air) without any changes to voltage are, gpu offset plus 105 boost @ 1294mhz played bf4 without any problems for 2 hours. Memory is a different story, would only get plus 150 offset @ 7300mhz. I guess I was unlucky with the memory. I'm off tomorrow and can do more testing and check back with my results. ASIC % @ 63.3%.

This is why I canceled my kingpin, it seems the Samsung memory is consistently lower on the kingpin and I already have the classy. Not going to take the loss in $ when its going to sack my performance.

I was under the assumption just by word of mouth or whatever that Samsung was the premium chip maker recently, regardless I wouldn't say they are selling "bad" memory on the Kingpin they had just used different branded memory modules then the classified and on the whole from the first impression they are clearly inferior for OC'ing. Jacob mentioned that they where looking into the bios to see how to improve the memory clocks but I don't know what kind of trade off with timings. So I'm just going to follow them closely and see how it pans out before I pull my credit card out again.
