right now, i dont actually own a game that i cant run happily at maximum, but i thought i'd ask this now in preparation for when i do.
currently i have the Asus version of the GTX 460 768MB (i believe its called the ENGTX 460 TOP). when i am running 3 copies of prime 95 and furmark, it is not getting above 75C (at ~2/3 fan speed too). the maximum temperature its ok to use it at is 105C, so even if it was running 20C hotter it would be absolutly fine.
how much of a benefit would i see if i overclocked it as much as i could while keeping it at a sensible temperature and voltage. eg, if the game was running at ~20FPS now, what would it be likely to run after the overclock?
ps. i know next to nothing about overclocking, so i would be doing this either with the built in programs, or INCREDIBLY carefully and slowly using the bios settings
