Hello guys,
I need some help updating my GTX 460. I got this card from another member here sometime ago and decided to update BIOS. For whatever reason the updater is giving me this error every time I tried to run it:banghead:

Could be that the BIOS has been modded but I couldn't find original BIOS for this card anywhere.

Any help is appreciated:)

What exactly are you trying to "update"? Does the card work in it's current state? Can you post a GPU-z screenshot.

Card is working fine. I just thought if I update the BIOS GamerOSD might work.

Here's GPU-Z screenshot

Too many people are flashing on this forum and not knowing what the hell they're doing.

What you should do is give JrRacinFan your current bios and let him unlock the voltage and then use it to OC your stock bios. I would not flash a strange bios on a good working card.

Use FRAPS & Afterburner.

@Brandon

I try to push software clocking first.

The voltage is unlocked but I'm not sure if I should be messing with that.

Well you shouldn't be messing with the bios update unless asus directly said in the bios update FAQ that it was necessary for this card to work properly. You may brick your card for nothing.

Welcome. I just hate to see you FUBAR the card. If I had the time we would have a Teamviewer session & I would show you how to mod your current bios.

Also my old GTX 460SE did great numbers at 900Mhz. There is a thread around here with a guide on OCing the GTX 460. GOOD LUCK!

I'm currently using MSI Afterburner. Only got it to run stable at ~750MHz.

Here's where I am and have been there since nearly getting the card


It's an EVGA Vanilla
Recertified: EVGA 768-P3-1360-RX GeForce GTX 460 (...

Physx, well forgot to enable it since doing cpu tests/checks with Vantage. Afterburner, i use it but not nearly as much as I used to, I could live with uninstalling it. I also know I could lower the core voltage if needed, I just have it "maxed" to be rock stable.

Tried your setting. So much faster and stable.
This is the first time I tried increasing voltage on the card so I was a little worried. Turns out to be pretty damn awesome.

You have much better cooling than mine so keep it there and don't bother with fiddling anymore. If you hit over 65C then there is an issue.

@Pestilence

Yeah, the cards are known to go 925 core at minimum at topped out core voltage. Just a touch of info, messing with mem clocks won't do squat.

Time to get Crysis 2 out. Ran Kombuster earlier, temp went up to 70C so I'm a bit worried.
