*** Nvidia GTX 460 Overclocking Thread ***

[DomagojX]

MSI Cyclone testing, when I'll finaly find out how to adjust voltage above 1.1 i hope for better score

[Rukks]

Holy hell, 5ghz on that 950...thats impressive

[WrigleyVillain]

Indeed. Cooling?

[Aedubber]

Most likely water or ln2 ..

[Ket]

The clocks on that Cyclone are very standard for any card with 1.1v. You will likely find beyond 1.1v won't net you many gains.

Picked up another gtx460 today, Nvidia GeForce brand. 52c max in furmark after a couple minutes oced to 800core and 2000memory 1.0v, VRM area still gets real hot to the touch though. Have to remove the cooler to take the shroud off, will try it later and use the rest of these ramsinks on the VRM's.

900 core 1.0v. Games will be the real stability test but is doing better than my palit sonic platinums so far.

Scored pretty good in 06 for a single card.

Ambient ~20c and voltage ~1.32v

poparamiro, I love your HS mod.....that looks awesome.

-================================================== ===

After voltage unlock......940/1880/2025 @ 1.15v

any new vantage perfomance sli with the new drivers?

^ Nice clocks, which brand?

I gotta move to 1GB cards as I knew would probably be the case tho. I run out of vram and get bad fps drop with lots of objects and action on screen in more than a couple games at 1920x1200 + AA. erocker over at TPU found the same thing.

Gigabyte OC

So Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB OC is a good choice? I ended up getting one of those cuz it said 2-4 weeks for Barts to show up in stock and the price is around 250 EUR which is slightly overpriced IMO. The GTX 460 I paid 170€ for which would correspond to $170 in the US due to how expensive things are in Finland so thought it was good deal.

I have 2x Palit gtx460 sonic platinum, and 2x Nvidia brand gtx460's, my question is the palit is a non reference pcb design, the nvidia brand looks to be reference design. Can I flash one of the Nvidia cards with the palit bios to run them in sli? One card from each brand oc's very well, other 2 are no better than everage.

[THOMO]

There's no need to flash any card just to run sli. Any two of those cards will run in sli no problem. Both cards will run at the clockspeeds of the slower card (if there is a difference in clockspeeds between the two cards).

[OC Nub]

Thanks, didnt know that would worked in sli, thought only cf worked that way.

[kup]

On older cards it was card/bios specific but the newer generations all mix and match fine.

They don't match clockspeeds. One of the cards just won't run @ full load.

here is my first attempt with my zotac amp edition

They don't match clockspeeds. One of the cards just won't run @ full load.

clocking the other card up to speed will work though? one is 800 core default and the other is reference card, 675 core. the reference card actually clocks better than the sonic platinum.

Hey guys, Just got an Asus GTX 460 1GB DirectCU version last week and I want to try overclocking it a bit further.

I've currently got it on 875Mhz core and 2060 on the RAM using stock volts. What is safe voltage to use on these cards and do I just tick 'Unlock voltage control' in Afterburner to adjust the voltage? Do I have to change anything in the config file?

Also, I've never used Furmark before. What settings do I use to test the stability of an OC? Do I use my monitors native resolution?
