OK, I have the leadtek GTX 460 1GB OC edition. OC it a little from 725/1450/1800 (core/shader/memory) to 825/1650/2100. Don't have any benchmark software, what I have is only windows experience index score to show. Tried SF4 game, no changes. I can see at top left corner showing fps 60 all the time, i think that is the max FPS for SF4. Run crysis warhead, dunno how to check for score.... but it can run well. Windows experience index for graphics and gaming graphics increased from 7.5 to 7.6.

When I try to update to latest nvidia drivers, it seem to have some fail message. I attach the picture below. Anyone can explain to me why this happens? How to fix my issues?

Thanks, uninstalling everything helps. Now everything is installed. But when I go back into SF4, the max resolution instead of my monitor resolution of 1680*1050 becomes 1280*1024. How come? Nothing wrong with resolution of crysis or starcraft 2 though.

IC.... I can live with lower resolution of SF4, no problem. What is the best 3D benchmark software I should download and run to see what score I get so that I can compare universally with others here? 3D Mark 11 or 3D Mark Vantage? Or there is another more general and universal benchmark tool for 3D graphics performance. Please advise, thank you.

i OC using MSI afterburner, i did select save profile, then apply. Checked it in GPU-Z, it did state overclock. But everytime I restart computer, the graphics card will return to its default settings. Why is this happening?

Gee, thanks. Stupid me not to notice that.

I wanna run Unigene. When I first launch it, there is a windows menu with lots of options.

API: I select DX11
Stereo 3D: I select disabled
Shaders: low, medium, high (i select high)
Tesselation: disabled, moderate, extreme (I select extreme)
Anisotropy: 1-16 (i select 16)
Anti-alliasing: 2x, 4x, 8x (i select 8x)
fullscreen: I check the option
resolution: 1680x1050 (my LCD resolution)

Do i just leave them default and click run? Or should I set something? I do notice if i select any options for stereo 3D, the unigene will crash.

Ran Unigine. My score as attached. I tried OC my GPU. Default was 725/1800/1450 (core/memory/shader). I manage to go to 825/2000/1650 and unigine can finish benchmark. Highest temperature clocked during this setting was 75°C. When I pushed to 850/2100/1700 unigene crashed within the first minute. Any idea if there is a way I can do it better?

Added on January 20, 2011, 2:34 pmI understand now. No wonder when I select any options under stereo 3D, the image will look blurry... then few seconds later, unigine crashed.... So normal LCD screen with no 3D function just leave stereo 3D disabled in unigine?

Is there even a 3D LCD monitor for PC yet?

Did furmark and the OCCT also.... dunno what option to choose, i just click all that I can, set all to max. Attached are the results. One interesting thing, in furmark, my GPU temp reach 94°C.... hot hot hot..... guess I cannot push it more than 825/2000/1650


I notice my furmark score is very low compared to the rest that posted here. We are all mostly using GTX460. Why is my score so much lower? Is it because I enabled every option during benchmark? Should I not enable all those things? I just see check box available and I check them.

Edit: Ran furmark with all options disabled and that msaa thing set to disable or 0. Temp still high at 88°C. Guess that's the max I can go? Already at 825/2000/1650, done nothing at the voltage yet. Actually I don't know how to change voltage.
