I think heaven is bias now :(
didn't nvidia buy them ?
I think you should all show some real world gaming.
crysis anyone lolz
Lmao oh boy !!! I would but I don't have crysis , but I do have bfbc2 :)
Here is one of the benchmarks I passed at 1k. I have also done 3d mark06, AvP, and Heaven. I still get glitches here and there so I wont call it stable but it works. I have also raced in Dirt2 and passed its bench. I think my sweetspot right now is 950. I have no problems so far.
Hi there!
I got a small question:
I watercool my Gtx 460 1 gb from gigabyte.
The block that I use don't fully cover the GPU completely
Could it be a problem?
Running game I never go above 45 deg and with furmark never above 50 with the voltage at the famous 1087 mV.
Overclocked of course.
thx!
You cant really cheat that much at extreme tessellation.Quote:

Well guys, Im like this |--| to buy a GTX460 Cyclone 768MB, would love a 1GB but there is a little margin of FPS but a huge one in prices (u$285 vs u$345).
Before I drop the hammer in the button of the GTX460, any advice? Change thermal paste? How much voltage should I put when benching in air? How much for 24/7 stable? I will appreciate all the help that you can bring me with this new baby.
A new doubt. If I buy another brand of the GTX460, like ASUS, I still have the option to change voltages with a program?

I pulled the tigger on this one today
GTX 460 will replace my ATI 4850 512mb
Free shipping worldwide? I live in Argentina, that's why I posted those high prices. Would be fantastic to buy it for that price and free shipping.Quote:

D'oh! I tryed to buy it but when I put the coupon code it won't recognice it, and the shipping cost are of u$121, final number u$354, more expensive than buying it in my country.
Damn, wish I live in USA :(
Cards are stable enough to bench @ 1000MHz core however not stable enough for long term folding@home. I must say these Koolance blocks are fantastic. Can't wait for motherboard RMA so I can install the third one.

New toy :D

Stock voltage.
Core 860
mem 2300 :cool:
Memory OC is very impressive 2300 for now and still going up...
^^ this on the stock cooler?
Yes that's on stock coolers , most people have another fan usually blowing on vrms , or the cards to briing in fresh air . The reg Oc most people are getting is anywhere from 800-950 stable on air .. Water as well has hit 1ghz but not sure if it was stable .
Cole- you can push those to 880 with voltage @ 1.087 and it's vantage stable :) , with applied modified bios I am sure you can push way more with more volts and those cards run cool as well . I had a pair of them ;)
Having a side fan blowing on top of the cards, especially in SLI helps a lot.
At the moment i am playing just with 1 card. No side fan.
Preorders for the MSI GTX460 HAWX are open!
in ocers.co.uk
As suspected,the card comes with the awesome twin frozr cooler :D They say that 1000mhz on cpu is possible (but not guaranteed).
However it's quite pricey, maybe in a month or two when it drops a bit it will be a very good "bang for your buck" choice.
In the meantime, anyone interested in a standard MSI GTX460 1GB, Look Here £181. I've also finished modding the stock cooling on my GTX460 :D I'm hoping the much better contact on the VRMs with some real TIM instead of a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty pad is enough to let me hit 900MHz as removing the IHS from the core will be a real pain in the arse.
Yea Scan reduced mine to £180 after I paid £187 for them. They were nice to me for once, normally they say no :(
The cyclones are still really good at £180, just £10 more for the awesome cooler and military class stuff (same as on gigabyte + asus with a different name, no whine noise unlike Palit :))
I need better cooling on my VRMs to hit 900 too. I were strongly disadvising people not to get the standard Palit version, and some lucky guy went and got one still, and it hit 900 Mhz with no artifacts right away :eek: :mad:
The amount of luck needed on these GTX 460s for good OCs is immense.
If I can get a GTX 460 1 GB, I will take the Gigabyte OC.
- Nice cooling capacity
- Silent
- Non-reference design
- Heatspreader on VRM's
For 199€ here in France, it seems the best choice IMHO
835 MHz @0,987v
845 MHz @1,000v
850 MHz @1,012v
860 MHz @1,025v
870 MHz @1,037v
880 MHz @1,050v
885 MHz @1,062v
895 MHz @1,075v
900 MHz @1,087v

I was going to see how my crossfire 5870 scored on Heaven. how ever I think my powersupply is crapping out.Quote:

so I can't make it threw the whole thing :( My cpu isn't even Oc either. :/
so if someone could care to run this a one single card then I'll post my 5870 on extreme x16AA 8xAF.
As long as your temps are good it is fine. I have a DD Maze5 waterblock on my palit and it does not fully cover the GPU either, however my temps are max 40c.Quote:
