*** Nvidia GTX 460 Overclocking Thread ***

[Gaul]

Yes but over 1100 mhz ist not stable

here 900/1100

[Stormad]

This is my Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB under stock Voltage of 975mV,
the memory will go a little higher but the core clock won't, even if i go up to 1.081V. I've already reapplied the thermal paste on the card.

Under full load via F@H. My top card is dying. Very close to breaking 100C w/ the top card. The cooling on the Zotac 1GB cards is rather poor. I need to buy waterblocks for these bad boys asap. My Gigabyte GTX460 768MB card will do the same clock easily enough as well. I just don't have room for the card until my motherboard gets back from RMA.

I don't know why but even in reviews Zotac 1gb card was the hotest. The EE heatsink used by Evga and Zotac is worst than reference. And you have a problem with fans , you must flash a new bios to unlock them to 100%.
Two Gigabyte cards should have been a little better.

The problem for you most likely is the IHS itself. Do some research and pop that sucker off. From what I can tell the IHS will come off a'la A64 style, carefully use a razor around all sides, and dont let the blade go further in than about 3mm.

Passes Heaven without a hitch(920mhz was a no go). Memory? I don't know yet, the "The nvidia driver bla bla.." popup is discouraging, I'd rather have artifacts and flickering. I might give it another go later.

nice, any VANTAGE SCORE ?

[Ket]

A lot of 460s don't seem to run 900MHz stable on stock voltage. Run Vantage and if you see coloured sparkly stars, its not stable.

[Gaul]

910/1100

[Hameister]

Gaul, you're still running Vantage w/PhysX enabled. I'd like to see what your actual validated score would be. Would you mind posting a run with PhysX disabled?

[Boogerlad]

I just got some practice delidding ala pentium 4 socket 478 and it lives! I'll try on gtx 460 once it gets here on tuesday.

[Ket]

pictures and details when you do

[Boogerlad]

I'll post a worklog in the computer case section. Beast sff!

[cowie]

i ran a modded bios gtx460 a few weeks back ln2 cooling on this run.

not bad without even an iron to the card,its just the card cold and softmods,anyone should get around here if you have those 3.
fun modding card.
i have been waiting for a pair of pny xlr8 cards,but they dont have them out yet.


dam stormad that ss is pretty big

[Stormad]

Hey Cowie is this a little better?

drop me a link when you start

ic, anyway........ this is not a race and i'm not looking for P-score, i look for GPU score

BTW here is u'r request , no physX :

BTW here is u'r request , no physX :

Thanks very much I appreciate it. I was very curious to see where the 460 scores in relationship to the 280. You have helped me with that, thanks again.

I haven't had time to find the max stable O/C quite yet. Don't mind what Afterburner says, I thought I hit PrtScn but apparently I didn't. I hit reset on Afterburner but here are the clocks:

1.05v
855 core
1028 memory
EVGA 1gb superclocked EE



I was surprised at all the reviews saying this card runs hot, because mine doesn't .
It normally idles ~32C-35C when I'm not benching.

Does anyone know why I can go up to 1.212v in Afterburner? I thought the cap on these cards were 1.087v without modding the bios?

[Ket]

Can I have a copy of your eVGA vBIOS please?

[Boogerlad]

ARGH! I got my palit gtx 460 sonic. The freaking cooler has no heatpipes! The reviews lied. I knew there would be no pwm cooler, but really? Making the core cooler a freaking pentium 3 alu heatsink? De lidding after I get my ram.

[Ket]

Thats why I don't go anywhere near Palit/Xpertvision products They send "engineering samples" to look good in front of reviewers then spit on their backs when their not looking and cut corners and cheap out generally wherever they can.

[cory1234]

How do I find the bios? I updated my card with this:
http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=498804

Here is my current O/C with 1.087v. No artifacting whatsoever. Should I push this any farther? Is 85C too hot for these cards?

Use gpu-z to save your bios: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

[cory1234]

Ok.

hi here is my 460 sli
