What is your GTX460 clocked at?

I'm trying to find a good stable overclock for mine and I'm wondering what other people have theirs set to. Currently I have mine set to 835Mhz core and 2000Mhz on the memory. But I'm unsure where to go from here. Pushing the GPU up to 850MHz only gains me a measly 1fps in Kombustor, whereas pushing the memory up to 2100 gains me a full 14. However I'm not sure how high it's safe to push the clock on the memory.

Advice, opinions, and your settings would be extremely helpful. :)
 
Currently powering a Royal Mail delivery van back to OCuk.

core n/a
shader n/a
memory n/a

You have to love recieving a dead card right before Portal2...
 
By the way I'm fairly sure I read an artical about overclocking a GTX 460, and all the gains in gaming came from the GPU overclock and barely at all from the memory.

As for my own card I'm running 850/2000 at the moment with shaders in sync, not adjusted any voltage though.
 
Just noted something interesting. I upgraded to windows 7 today, and on running Kombustor I'm getting about 9 FPS less than I was on XP clock for clock. Is 7 THAT much of a resource hog?

I've had a good play around with my overclocks now and have set up all 5 levels on afterburner and run Heaven benchmark as a comparison between them. In case anyone is interested in how much benefit you gain from clocking things up, I've uploaded a quick comparison table below. All the scores there are stable through the benchmark, though I haven't gotten round to a long stress test on the higher ones yet. Highest GPU temperature reached was 64.

920 is as high as I can push the core clock without it crashing on me at 1.087 volts, and I don't fancy pushing it beyond afterburner's limit. Might try to push the memory clock up slightly later on, and will stress test the overclocks.

^^ are those clocks OCCT GPU test stable ?

As I said haven't gotten around to testing stability with more than the benchmark yet, it's on today's to do list so I'll get back to you!

Edit: 1 and 2 are rock stable in everything, 3 and 4 have been fine in a few hours of games each but don't get on well with the stress testing software. 5 gets to uncomfortable temperatures during games so won't get used. It was mostly just an exercise to see how high I could push my Heaven score without everything collapsing. :p 2 has been and probably always will be my default clock.

Mine is just the standard Zotac settings, considered OC further but not sure what i can and cant do and cant be arsed to go through the motions.

Standard Zotac is in my sig FYI
