Evga 460gtx

So who has this card? I updated the firmware from EVGA that gives it a little extra mmph, but I want more. What are some good OC numbers for this card without frying it?

no two cards are exactly the same (no matter what they say) so your best bet is to turn it up a bit at a time, and watch your temps. if for folding trun up the shader clock and under clock the core clock to lower temps. folding needs the shader processors, the core clock makes very little difference to the TPF.

Good to know. I was fiddling with it a bit last night and seen the GPU get about 10 degree hotter while folding, but got another 60 FPS out of the card :P Glad EVGA precision has profiles.

Other than watching folding times, is there any way to see the efficiency of the GPU values for folding, other than watching the folding times?

And what about memory clock? I know it will make a difference for video, but for folding?

You doubled your FPS?!

[Saryn]

No just got another 60 FPS...using the OC Scanner for testing. Went from like 380Fps to 440 fps when running stress and benchmarks

Whoops, sorry. I must have completely misread your earlier post. Thanks for clarifying.

Well this blows. Fermi architecture in the 400 series causes the core to be locked to the shader values. Shader is always 2x the clock.

I did not know that..... and no the mem speed only affecrts how fast it can swap out the info it uses for folding so it has very little impact on your TPF. I'd bump it up some, and leave it as far as gaming goes. mine was supposed to be 500 (1000 effective) stock, but the bios on both my gso's was set at 400. so i clocked it to 500 myself and never found a reason to go higher.

You should be able to hit 850MHz on the core no problem.

i got 1 460 it's running gpu/830 mem/1420 shader/1661
