EVGA GTX460 1GB ***

[WHOOSH!]

Hey everyone

I was just wondering if it was at all possible to overclock the EVGA GTX460 1GB *** from its stock clock of 850/1000/1700. Im kinda new to GPU overclocking but im trying to learn as much as i can.

Any adivce appreciated

Use msi afterburner and give it a go, but small increments because its clocked quite high to start with

Yes it can be overclocked using MSI afterburner or EVGA precision (basically the same program reskinned) but you are probably looking at hitting a wall around the 900-925mhz mark.

Memory should hit somewhere between 2050-2200 in Afterburner as well, depending on your luck. Mine craps out at 2075, but I've seen many others that go well into the 2100s.

Small increments, test with 10 minutes of Kombustor/Furmark and 4 or 5 loops of the Heaven 2.1 benchmark.

Try upping core voltage a step at a time if you get driver crashes, and keep an eye on your temps (though the 460s do generally seem fine with temps up to 1.087v, you can't be too careful here!)

Thanks for the help guys and sorry for the late reply. I managed to get it up to 875 core clock and i havent really benchmarked it yet so i just tried to play some black ops. All ran fine. Im guessing it was unstable to begin with as i went back to stock clocks then overclocked to 875 again just to see what would happen and the graphics driver crashed. Looks like EVGA are really pushing the envelope on this card.
