GPU-Z Showing a GTX 460 SE w/768MB

Taer · Feb 9, 2011

I just opened a brand new Gainward GTX 460 only to find that it has a GTX 460 SE BIOS!

All I know so far is that with a Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz, it gets 58FPS in the Resident Evil 5 benchmark, where as a regular GTX 460 with an i7-920 gets 78FPS.

So, does the BIOS really limit it to 288 SPs and.. how did this happen?? :eek:

So, the box and everything says it's a 1gb model?

Does it look like this on the back?

What does it say it is with a different program?

No sir.

The box, its labels, the card, everything.. says GTX 460 768MB, which is what I ordered.

But somehow.. it has a GTX 460 SE BIOS.

I used Afterburner.. it says the same thing - GTX 460 SE.

Return it. You could try flashing it with a non-SE version, but if it is an actual SE card it might brick it and you would be out of luck. :ohwell:

But it's not an SE card. If it was it wouldn't have 768MB of RAM.

How hard is it to flash it, btw? I think it might be easier than returning it.

It's not very hard at all. You need NVFlash: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1824/NVFlash_5.95.0.1_for_Windows.html

I believe this is the bios you need: http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/79344/Zotac.GTX460.768.100603.html

I'm no expert in flashing Nvidia cards, but there are plenty of tutorials around the web. You could also just start a new thread asking for help as there are plenty of people here that can help you.

Good luck. :toast:

Thanks a lot, man. You've been a great help.

Btw, this card uses 2x 6-pin and overclocks like crazy:

if it shows 288 shaders it's a 460 SE.
