Asus DirectCU ; stock cooling, only fan @ 100%

[FXXBADBOY]

Anyone got an answer?

Also, how do you change the voltage higher than 1087mv? The slider in Afterburner only goes to 1087 for me. Do I need a different version of Afterburner?

Give me your bios and i will mod it for u mate and it will have much higher v available

I'm liking this Gigabyte GTX 460 OC 1GB, has great value I think and the cooler is perhaps not the most powerful but works good for me in my openbench setup (32~34C idle and ~65C during Vantage at "Auto" fan setting (40%) and 55C at 100% :o 68C max at 1087mV). Did great at stock volts, up to around 820~830MHz fully stable but wouldn't scale well with voltage, 900MHz fully stable and ~915MHz benchable at 1087mV.But what I like most about it is that it doesn't have any high pitched coil wine noise or whatever, even at high FPS like 2000+ it's completely silent and also at ATItools, Kombustor, 3DMark06, Crysis etc. you mention it, it's COMPLETELY silent even when putting ear next to it. My last 3 nvidia cards have had significant high pitched electrical noise wine.

My 24/7 setting, I could use higher mem clock but I found the difference was so neglible I didn't bother.

Nice result.

[Olivon]

Yeah

Gigabyte OC is a good card, silent with pretty good OC : 900/1800/2100 rock stable @ 1.087, no need to torture it with 1.087V+ voltages the little card performs really well

hehe always good to see the little buggers perform close to the top

Default voltage 1.025, 850MHz was the maximum I got.

875MHz Maximum got using aircooling, voltage at 1.050, with aircooling voltage will not pass 1.050, with watercooling goes to 1.087.

Aircooling with this card is a no go, noisy and too hot, fail on my list, with watercooling is a win.

Watercooling with 1.087 reached 930Mhz.







Great card, with a modded BIOS might reach 1000+.

nice!

Does anyone have a link to this F3 bios? I can't find it on here even though I know I've seen it... :/

My first post in these forums. This is a giggle for most. This is with an Intel E4400 @ 3500mhz and my 460GTX MSI Cyclone 1gb. Voltage at 1.068v. I put a q6600 in there now and run the card 24/7 at 900mhz /1800 shaders / 1050 (4200) memory with 1.025v.


Other 3dmark vantage results with this card.

i think, its the limit of my card.. btw its stock cooling Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB.

İf you reduce memory clock of vga, you get more score.Because memory chips are not stable this clock.I have tested before and maximum stable clock of memorys are 1080mhz.

What voltages are you running? I had 975/1950/2200 at 1.187 (not thoroughly tested) on stock cooling, ~80C load 100% fan. Gotta love the VRM heatsink on the Gigabyte card, shame they decided to omit it on the SOC version.

[andressergio]

finally i got my sonic platinums and both are vid 0.962 for stock 800/4000

put a nice DELTA pushing fresh air to the SLI as cards are too close together no way to spread them better on my setup, i also put some cooling to the vrms but will change it soon for the Enzotech i was lazy and anxious




some 3DM06




i gammed and benched on DX11 at this clocks but like no need stock is already a charm

cheers all

Hey guys,
Just picked up a MSI Twin Frozr II 768MB and I've currently got it maxed in Afterburner at 1.087v at 915MHz/1830MHz/4000MHz (Heaven DX11 Tess. Xtreme) stable. Was wondering if there was anyway I could increase the limit on the volts. The card tops out at 48*C running the Heaven Benchmark @ 1920x1080 with 50% fanspeed.

[JoBu]

I got a Gigabyte 460 1GB OC yesterday and it sure seems to be a fine card. Doing 850/1700 stable stock voltage and cooling (max 60C). I have configured my BIOS to allow voltages above 1.087V but haven't flashed yet. Lot's of people seems to talk about the F3 BIOS. What settings does it apply besides the GPU voltage? Can I flash it directly to my card without alterations?
Thanks. And keep the +1000Mhz results coming

1.093 Vcore can run 960 core , can your test in1.212 Vcore ?
Can run 1000Core?
