Does anyone know why PX and AB are not adjusting the Classified's voltage?  Nothing goes above 1.200v (checked with a DMM).  +12 or +50, it doesn't matter, voltage just says at 1.200v.  Is this an error with the BIOS or with the software?  Altering the voltage with Classified Controller does raise the voltage (shown on the DMM, but not in PX).  Using Overboost shows the card using more voltage, however, as soon as it hits load, the card is going back down to 1.200v (both on the DMM and in PX).

I have the exact same issue.

With all the talk/discussions/disagreements about ASIC% scores I have been reading about that are posted in the EVGA Forums, I thought showing an additional FYI Fact (only pertaining to a Benchmarking perspective) that even using an inferior run-of-the-mill 72.7% ASIC 980 Ti Classified that originally wouldn't do more than 1500MHz at the 1200mv stock voltage on Air or Water cooling without crashing attempting to finish a Fire Strike Benchmark, Still Managed with no increased GPU voltage adjustments to gain 55MHz more (1555MHz) at the same stock 1200mv just by going a little Colder on the GPU using an old 180W Load ASETEK Vapochill Phase Change which was used to further cool the GPU down to -16C at idle before running the Benchmark and operated around +9C to +11C during the GPU Tests on a Fire Strike Benchmark.
 

 
Just wanted to show that even though as stated the 980 Ti series (regardless of varying ASIC% scores) doesn't respond to voltage increases on air cooling much more than the Stock 1200mv, But will respond in increased MHz with lower Colder temps on the GPU at that same voltage.
 
Personally, I MAINLY only build my Rigs for Benching purposes to try and attain the highest scores in Futuremark and HWBot competitions and do manage some Gaming on my second Rig, But that is set up for using either standard air or water cooling which limits the GPU Overclocks that are obtainable (That is if you don't happen to have one of the new KPE's! LOL)
 
Someday when I get around to finally installing my Kingpin Tek-9 FAT 6.0 Pot and start using DICE or possibly LN2 cooling with this inferior(?) Classified, The GPU MHz is bound to go even higher at that same stock 1200mv setting, Along with the ability for using higher voltages under sub-zero cooling methods.
 
I'm Sure the More technically advanced (and more expensive) 980Ti Classified Kingpin will undoubtedly respond to an even Higher MHz with sub-zero cooling (Which is the ONLY reason I want one), and that is why I want to purchase one when they become available again ASAP, But in the meantime I'll keep experimenting with sub-zero cooling with this much cheaper Classified instead just to see if any other problems arise before I'll start the same testing/modifying on a $1K+ KPE.

Hey guys!
I got my 980ti classy and it seems to be a nice card.


But I got no idea how to OC it properly with precision x... Am I doing it right? Which parameter do I need to change and how? 
Pls advice!

 
BTW, does anyone know where I could download the KINPING BIOS for this card?
THANKS~!

Try my (beta) bios: post #5044

LOL , thats a pretty sweet inferior gpu you got there dude. Even with the inferior Hynix mems

Yeah, Just some Experimentation to gain more info For what it's worth.
 
The whole point was just to show as Vince stated that Maxwell doesn't scale well on air/water (980 Ti KPE excluded) until you get the temps down below +20C while running under Load.
 

Those are some impressive results. I could only manage a 18.376 with a single card. With two I hit about 25.692.

Don't put the Kingpin bios on that card.. They have different types of memory.
980ti Classfied = Hynix
980ti Kingpin = Samsung
 
There is a bios over at Kingpincooling.com for the 980TI Classified by Kingpin.
 
Here's the link
 

 
Nice card by the way... Very high Asic also.. ;)

Thanks a million!

Mother of... lol. Who needs Kingpin cards?

Definitely jelly of those with high ASIC scores... lucky bastards
 
LN2 mode fixed a lot of my issues. 1480/7800Mhz 1.2v 70-75c stable. I could reach that on the normal bios, but I would get constant downclocks due to the voltage going all over the place. Now things are rock solid. At 70.7% ASIC, that is a decent result. I never realized how much an effect the silicon lottery has. 

You write  run of the mill card, but  it looks  that  high ASIC cores  are more frequent in the USA  than here in the EU. Just look how many  guys got 55-69  ASIC cards here in the EU . Regarding the temps I do  agree, it looks that cold helps
Maxwell a lot..
 

It will be very busy weekend:)

ASIC scores?

Not so bad imo.
BTW. Two Calssifieds in sli and a lot of heat here.
Up to 83 in Heaven for 1st card, second 73 everything stock.
Its also a very noisy compared to gtx 770 lightning :(
 
 

Damn, these low ASIC scores are crazy. For those that have been in this game for a long time, does the "silicon lottery" usually have this big of a distribution?

Any idea when next shipment of Classified will be with Amazon?

just got mine in and this thing is hot(temps) 50%fan idle is 45c. and heaven 83c at same 50%fan speed. 70%fan idles at 42c and 73c in heaven. I need a ek waterblock now!

Weird temps you have. Mine idles at 30c (20% fan/600rpm) with air conditioner set at 25c.

halflife86
hmm its 26.6c in this room and at 20%fan 600rpm it idles at 52c.  should I RMA?

 RMA for what?
