I am using MSI afterburner.

870/1740/2200 @ voltage 1.050

It is semi-stable... i did get a red screen... How far can i push the voltage with this card?

What are your guy's overclocks?

Also, GPU-Z seems to not read fan speed and core temp, but msi afterburner does, why so? thanks

its not STABLE STABLE but 3Dmark vantage doesn't crash just goes a tad crazy in the first GPU test

EVGA GTX460 1GB SC edition

voltage: 1012
core clock : 887
shader clock 1775
memory clock 2275

i have to play with it a lil more but i hit 17,989 3Dmark vantage points with it on performance and the stock resolution...for reference the GPU on stock it hit 14,868 😀
core: 880
shader: 1760
memory: 2250
coreV:1075 mV



Burning through with Furmark stable. Think i can push it further? I am thinking memory can go a bit higher, anything above 890 MHz core clock at max allowed voltage by Afterburner is unstable. 880/1760 is the sweet spot for this 768mb Gigabyte 460.

Max temp is 72C benchmarking with Furmark at 99% GPU usage, air cooled, fans at 80%+
 
My Asus Direct CU came with Asus Smart Doctor, and it allows you to put your voltage up to 1.087 so that is a safe voltage. I have heard of people going much higher, but these cards haven't been out long enough to know how much is too much.

thanks 😀

like i said its not 100% stable and keep an eye on your temps cause i have seen about 80*C on this overclock on stock air cooling with the External Exhaust version of the card....liquid cooling is next 😀
