If you bought a regular clocked GeForce GTX 460 from eVGA then good news, they decided to increase the clock frequencies to be a little more competitive. eVGA slapped it all arround a marketing program called Free Performance Boost.
This program simply entails a BIOS update applying higher clocks on the GTX 460 SKUs. Here it is, the EVGA 460 FPB Update, changelist as follows:
Core/Processor clock increased to 720/1440 (Part numbers 768-P3-1360-XX and 01G-P3-1371-XX Only)
Fanspeed unlocked to allow up to 100%

Extract the files to a location on disk.
Make sure no programs are running in the background, and double click update.exe.
Press "Y" to begin the update.

After update, restart PC.

Perhaps the next time eVGA .. just OC your cards properly at launch date. It saves your end-users the hassle of forcing firmware upgrades on a graphics card.
