Gtx 460 hawk sli

Re: Gtx 460 hawk sli

From Newegg USA, Newegg.com - MSI N460GTX Hawk GeForce GTX 460 , price = $160 ($180 less $20 MIR), MIR is valid through 31 December 2010.
As always, the current $180 selling price can change at any time. Snuz and you lose.

Here's my most recent 935/1870/4400 stable Hawk overclock, additional benchmarks will follow once I have installed Win7 on my soon to arrive SSD.
oZone3D Furmark passed a 10 minute test without artifacts.

**edit** ATI Tool has problems with PSAPI.DLL on my w2k system, so I couldn't let it scan for artifacts. ;(

Re: Gtx 460 hawk sli

what ssd have you ordered prof? would be interested in how it performs

Re: Gtx 460 hawk sli

I ordered the 60GB OCZSSD2-2AGTE60G, Agility 2 (extended capacity).
Reviews are quite good, but there seems to be a question about how the "extended capacity" feature might reduce the ssd's useful lifetime.
I'll post some benchmarks in the TweakTown Gigabyte forum after I've installed Win7 on the ssd.
Hopefully my ssd will arrive by by the end of this week.

Re: Gtx 460 hawk sli

Wow nice score prof jim, yup i tested memory hawk at 2200 def vmemory not stable and i found artifact in ATItool artifact scanning so 2200 needs added voltage like u did :)
Here my highest benchmark in 3DMark2011, abit artifact only at 950mhz it stable without artifact in benchmark.

Re: Gtx 460 hawk sli

Quick note: +40mv for memory at 2200 is my SWAG (Scientific Wild Arsed Guess), somewhat less memory voltage might be stable at this speed.
From my preliminary testing, higher stable memory speeds might not always be best.
It appears that memory speeds that are a bit too high might generate correctable errors through memory retries, which would slow things down.
There might even be different memory speed sweet spots for different GPU speeds, especially when we are pushing the limits.

But hey, what do I know, I'm just a newb at graphics overclocking.
