    Hi All,

    I overclocked my GTX 460m 1.5GHz. Specs are as follows:

    Core - 700
    Shader - 1400
    Memory - 1250 (default, I didn't overclock)

    Anyone else can share their clocks for the same card?

    Thanks.

    Michael

    Hey Michael.

    I clock mine with MSI ab to these settings:

    Core - 742 (maxed out)
    Shader - 1485 (maxed out)
    Memory - 1510

    I believe someone told me the max settings for the 460m go above that but mine doesn't show it for some reason.

    What games are you playing with those settings? And what temps and fps dyou get?

    I used EVGA Precision to clock. My memory max shows 1500 but i kept it at 1250 default because it didn't give me any good boost. I used Furmark to stress test my Alienware m15x and downloaded FPS to see what it was doing. I was getting 11 stable FPS using Furmark stress test and temp was 85C.

    I'm currently playing SWTOR and it runs smoothly. All settings are high and running at 1920x1080.
