ASUS GeForce GTX 460 768MB Overclocking
Overclocking the ASUS GeForce GTX 460 graphics card with Smart Doctor
was fairly easy, but we did bump into a few issues along the way, though, that need to be pointed out.
The first thing is that you are rather limited by clock frequencies as the core clock setting in SmartDoctor only goes up to 800MHz and the memory clock only goes from 920MHz to 970MHz. It would have been nice to have seen both of these max setting increased. ASUS's rivals (MSI and EVGA) both have utilities that overclock beyond this level.
When we maxed out the overclocks and went to enable them we were confronted with this pop-up stating that the GPU and Memory clock was successfully overclocked. We left the Vcore voltage at the default voltage of 0.962 Volts as no extra voltage was needed to max the card out when using SmartDoctor.
The ASUS GeForce GTX 460 TOP Video Card
Stock 700MHz/920MHz (3680MHz effective):
Running 3DMark Vantage with the Extreme preset we got a score of X6434. The score went up X7227 3DMarks when overclocked with SmartDoctor, which was an improvement of 12.3%.
