had a ton of requests for a video outlining the uh performance I was able
0:05
to squeeze out of the MSI GeForce GTX
0:09
460 Hawk so this features the twin
0:12
frozer 2 heat sink it's got dual DVI 1
0:15
mini HDMI and you can see I've got a bunch of fans blowing around it right
0:19
now just kind of uh put the camera through there so it takes two six pin
0:23
power connectors as I mentioned in my unboxing that I did you can see the uh
0:28
the voltage checkpoint down here these fans are going pretty
0:32
good right now because I have this thing
0:37
overvolted uh let me see so here is a beta version of MSI After Burner that
0:42
includes full support for the GTX 460 Hawk so you can see here the core
0:47
voltage memory voltage and auxiliary voltage are all adjustable so I've
0:51
turned up I'm just going for Max core right now I haven't actually done
0:55
anything with the memory but I was able to achieve 96 62 MHz fully fur Mark
1:03
stable with the hawk Edition card so
1:06
that is what I was able to do and I haven't tried any 3D Mark runs yet but
1:12
once I dial in the memory I will uh I'll try and get some 3D Mark going and then
1:16
uh what I want to do too is compare it
1:19
to the GTX 480 so thank you for checking out my uh
1:25
core overclocking video on the hawk don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech
1:29
tips and stay tuned for more updates on this sweet video card oh hey actually no
1:35
before I'm done here's something I wanted to mention this is a reference
1:39
PCB uh GTX 460 it has the Cyclone cooler
1:43
from MSI but uh something I wasn't sure about in my video with the hawk is
1:47
whether or not it is longer than a reference PCB 460 the answer is yes it's
1:54
approximately that much
1:58
longer see my angle yeah my angle is now
2:01
right this video is going to be all about comparing the GTX 460 twin frozer
2:07
2 Hawk from MSI against gain the GTX 480
2:11
now it's not a completely fair comparison because I am going to be
2:14
overclocking the GTX 460 so here is the
2:18
settings that I am running at here so you can see I'm running at 962 MHz on
2:23
the core and 2.07 3 GHz on the RAM okay
2:28
so I'm doing that and here's the score I got in 3D Mark Vantage so I know I have
2:33
physics on but I'm going to have physics on for both cards so it will be an Apples to Apples comparison and this is
2:39
running a core i7 980x at
2:42
4.15 GHz I'm running 6 gigs of Kingston
2:47
uh liquid ready H2O series hyperx RAM
2:51
and I'll be back in a moment when we have the score for the gtx480 so
2:56
remember that number 21601 for the the 460 hawkk
