*** Nvidia GTX 460 Overclocking Thread ***

[runmc]

3DM11 with 1100 gpu

[OgaiB]

played a little yesterday with my MSI HAWK TALON ATTACK on stock cooling and stock bios, these are my results

Use 260.99 driver, it is much better. My result with this driver @ 950 core:

[OCX600RR]

Wow runmc, 1100MHz...damn and I thought I was doing good maxing out at 1001! Will run 3DMark11 just to see how the 768MB fares.



Edit: Adding 3DMark11 & 3DMark06

[devil_mcry]

is it stable?

[p3gaz_001]

ehehehh those are pretty nice scores guys ... !!

[skier]

surprised so many people are having 1000+ stable enough to run, my card hits 70C and hard crashes above 950

[Gaul]

460 @ 990/1100

[FlyingHamster]

so after skimming these pages, would you guys recommend the 260.99 drivers for the gtx 460?

[kup]

I'd recommend 263.09 with the modded INF for the 460 cards.

I'd recommend 263.09 with the modded INF for the 460 cards.

using 263.06 tesla no need to mod performs much better than 260.99 and 263.09, 260.95 modded inf dont work on mine



cheers

trying them now sergio. I like 'em, thanks

being as impatient of a person as I am, when testing my vid card overclock I get bored running OCCT gpu error test alone and nothing else. you guys think it would it be okay to run the occt gpu stress test while also playing a game, or is that too much stress on my gtx 460?

yes bud give them a try i was surprised by the boost of perf on 3dm011

we are all impatients

its ok to do heaven test and then a 3dm011 and watch for artifacts, then game like 1h at BC2 or MOH you will see if its stable

one tip is raise IOH Core will boost your GFX perf too and put PCIE on 101+ i use 105

cheers and report back

i see the bug on your avatar looks very nervous lol

Thanks for the tips on 263.06 tesla, ioh, and pcie speeds!!

Really wanna try 6870, but I dunno if they clock as well.

[kaktus1907]

it seems low to me idk ?

no patch no mod crysis, driver set default

Seems low to me. Your average should probably be about 32FPS. I'd try 259.32 or 263.06 drivers, people seem to like them. Your fairly low CPU speed will play some factor as well, even in Crysis.

[YoungGeekGuy]

I haven't posted in forever but if ECS did anything right (because they have a crap reputation) it's this, how can you go wrong with a reference board and an Accerlero Twin Turbo Pro that was retrofitted for the card?

EDIT: Images are too big, I'll fix it tomorrow.

[Jodiuh]

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous.

[YoungGeekGuy]

There ya go:




I'm getting a second one soon, good thing the 780i boards use the very top and bottom for 2 way SLI otherwise I would be screwed, this thing is a 3 slot cooler. The second one is pretty much only going to have that amount of clearance the first one has between my sound card. So it's almost going to be resting on the bottom of my case but not quite lol. I had to order an extra long SLI cable as well lol.

[Jodiuh]

Wow.

[YoungGeekGuy]

How bout two?


I find my stable clock speeds to be much less impressive though. First card sat at 900 just fine, the second one not so much.

[Jodiuh]

Oooh!

[bekuna]

Wow really good clockers..

Ogaib cheers !!!

[death]

some really nice scores u getting

[cowie]

If anybody with a MSI 460 HAWK wants to try BIOS FOR COLDBUG(-70c) FIX! NOW -170C

also some new red card bios too.

[Demo]

I'd recommend 263.09 with the modded INF for the 460 cards.

Sorry for the nub question, Im currently using a GTX460 and Id like to know whats with the 263.09 modded INF drivers and where can I get them for Windows 7 x64 ?

Im getting 870/1740/1000 on this card, seems like a semi-decent overclocker!

EDIT:

At 70% fan speed whats the safe max temps and voltages we can go on this card 1.100 ?
