Overclocking Utility for GeForce 460

[mrcaffeinex]

I recently moved up from an EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Superclocked Edition 896MB DDR3 video card to a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 1GB DDR5 video card. When I had the 260 installed, I used the EVGA Precision utility to control fan speed, as well as to tweak the various speed settings for the core, shaders and memory. When I installed the 460, EVGA Precision no longer recognized any compatible video cards. I uninstalled and reinstalled Precision and now it recognizes the card to a degree. I can adjust the fan speed, but the core is greyed out. I can move the sliders for the shaders and memory, but cannot apply the settings (when I click apply, it moves back to the default speed).

I originally thought that Precision worked with any GeForce 200 or 400 series card and know people that use it on non-EVGA cards, but for this particular card it does not seem to work. The installation CD that came with this card only had DirectX and the nVidia drivers, but no monitoring/overclocking utility. Is there an alternative utility out there to adjust speeds on this particular video card?

The shader:core ratio is locked, so it should be changing both when you move the shader slider.

You can try Rivatuner.

MSI afterburner works great, and even has a built in furmark tool for testing.

I also have a EVGA GTX 460 and also can't change the core with EVGA Precision. Just letting you know the problem isn't only on your end.

It feels good to not be alone...

I'm going to give RivaTuner and MSI Afterburner a shot and see how they do. I'm not out to set any kind of records, but I do enjoy having the extra control

I'm using Afterburner 1.6.1 with my Palit Sonic Platinum GTX 460s (258.96 driver) and thought it was overclocking until I turning on logging and the OSD and discovered it wasn't budging past the stock 700 MHz core clock under load - a lot of load - in DiRT 2. The other readouts for temp and memory usage change, so that's working, I'm just not getting any OC. I can't run Furmark because that's part of the separate Kombuster module and MSI doesn't have that anywhere to download that I can see. Any ideas what's happening? Thanks.
