Overclocking the Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB) graphics card went extremely well. We managed to squeeze a lot more out of the GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB). The Gigabyte card maxed out at 850MHz for the core and 2010MHz for the memory. This is not the best GeForce GTX 460 overclock we have ever seen, but it is very close.
 By manually overclocking the Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB) to its maximum stable frequency we were able to boost performance in Call of Duty Modern Warfare by 14%. Crysis Warhead saw an impressive 19% performance hike, while Battlefield Bad Company 2 performance was improved by a massive 22% margin. That being said, the overclocked GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB) was only slightly faster than the Palit GTX 460 Sonic Platinum (1GB) in all three games. |

That's a good looking card with a nice price tag. I was thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these and the review has made it all the more tempting, thanks :S |

I like how they have used dual fans. The load temps are really low. |

Very cool looking card for the money. @ userdude - Maybe but it ran pretty cool as it was. Chances are they got an average overclocking card. What would really improve overclocking is a voltage mod  |

When I use your overclocking numbers I get a Driver error when running 3D Mark Vantage? So I'm back on 800/1600/1900 Please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Already have the latest drivers... |

This looks much more impressive than those new GTS 450 cards. So whats your take, the 768MB of 1024MB version? |

Hey everyone. Anyone know of problems with these cards because newegg has a lot of spammers saying these cards are horrible and only last for a few weeks then crap out? Please post.  |
