Thread: GIGABYTE GTX460-SUPER OVERCLOCK -Preview

GIGABYTE GTX460 - SUPEROVERCLOCK

Just got my hands on a GIGABYTE GTX460 SOC card fresh from the factory (no retail packaging or software yet)
Looking very good so far
I wont' go into the detail of the GF104 core as I have covered that before in the review of the regula OC model. Suffice to say there are some differences between this card and the prvious one.
(1) It's longer than the standard GTX460, about an 0.7" inches shorter than a Radeon 5870 SOC
(2) instead of the regular 3-phase PWM, GIGABYTE has gone with a 7-phase design featuring their famous NEC Proadlizer quintuple chip.
(3) Quad copper heatpipes with pure copper base

I haven't had time to check out the memory chips yet, but I belieev they are Samsung .4ns GDD5 chips
Reference clocks for the Card is 815MHz Core/2000MHz memory

Since there's no point in showing results at the stock speeds (you know what how this clock speed performs on a GTX460) I am showing

900MHz 1.05V (reference voltage is 1.025 vs the 0.975V on the OC version)
P19688
GPU: 17285
CPU: 33777

I'll be doing some further testing in the weeks to come and will freeze near the end of this month when I get some time. Looks strong so far as the other card needed 1.087 to do 900MHz and it wasn't that stable. No doubt this GPU has been sorted "GPU Gauntlet sorting" but I can only really confirm that in the actual ln2 testing and review...
