Gtx 460 Hawk Modding? about gtx 557,5 :)

Hi guys, i am bored about my GPU so i wanna do some crazy things on it
i have a gtx 460 hawk talon attack, vid of the card is 1,012 and i was so Unlucky about it it hits hardly 880 mhz without Artifacting on 1,087 volt
i once tried 1,15 volt and reached roughly to 932 mhz and take benchmark on Vantage... it was minor artifacting...
my elder brothers Hawk Talon Attack is vid 0.937 volt and can reach easily 951 mhz with 1.087 volt on vantage
i wonder if i add some nec/tokin capacitors to my card according to gtx 560 twin frozr, and gtx 560 ti twin frozr, will it increase my o.c. capacity
note: sorry for my english...
About the referance this idea:

you just have a lower potential gpu. Adding capacitors won't change that. Progress with such means is most likely marginal but as any hardware modifications comes at the cost of possibly killing the card.

GTX 460 Hawk SLi Problem

Hello
I have this "small" problem with my MSI GTX 460 Hawk 1 GiG SLi.. Softwares like 3DMark Vantage and Bad Company 2 just dies/stops/vanishes/crashes in a wierd way... Once you are playing and then it just goes back to desktop like u didnt ever play the game or so.. like *puff*
I have tryed many things to resolve this issue, mostly these common things what u can find from every forum.. reinstal drivers and change power rails and so on... Now i have tryed drivers 258 + 259 (msi recommended) + 260 + 260.93 beta and 3dmark 06 works fine with everyone of those.. But vantage and bad company 2
gives me a problem and i guess some other games also but havent had time to try other games yet..
Tho i got vantage work once when i runned it in vista sp1 mode and 258 drivers.. wierd.. ehh?
I have already tryed so many things to resolve this that i dont have anymore ideas... What can it be? Can it be just a driver problem? I run both cards in 16x slots... Manual says slots 1 and 3 are x16 when sli so... directx is also updated...
My comp specs are these..
I7 930 @ 4 GHz (Stable)
Asus Rampage 3 Xtreme
6 gigs 1600 MHz DDR3
850W Corsair HX850 (SLi Ready)
MSI GTX 460 Hawk SLi
WIN7 x64
What info u guys/girls still need?
Everything worked fine with cpu oc when i runned GTX 275... ofcourse its single card but cpu is stable anyways tested with intel burn and prime95..

Hmmmm...
Looks like @ this point that newest nvidia drivers solved the problem... 260.99... Vantage runs fine... one crash first.. then some driver bug or smth (RTTI crash or so).. but third run went ok and over 31k points... So didnt have to remove any hdd´s or oc to get some more power ^^ thnx anyways for the replys, always great ^^

Is there a way to disable dynamic core frequency on GTX 460 HAWK?

I just got Assassin's creed III.
I've noticed the core frequency on my GTX 460's going up and down during game play. When the core frequency drops my frame rate drops also. I have two GTX 460 HAWK's in SLi. Yesterday while runnning AC3 for the first time I noticed SLi wasn't working but a game update this morning seems to have fixed that.
This up and down frequency change could be caused by a bottle neck elsewhere in my system. My Mother board is old.
System is XPS 720 (Dell)
Windows 7 (SP1)
MB - nvidia 680i (all delled to hell)
RAM - 8 Gig - OCZ
CPU - Intel QX6700 (3.2 GHz and doesn't max load during gameplay)
Single (crappy) Asus monitor @ 1920-1080
Accepting the idea of a bottle neck, I'm still curious, is there a way to lock the GTX 460 HAWK's at their max frequency of 780 MHz? Mostly for the purposes of testing.

Thankyou for that instruction. This worked exactly as I had hoped it would by increasing the frame rate and making gameplay smoother. I suspect this will improve issues I've had with other games. I wonder if this will have to be reset back to OFF everytime I update the graphics driver?
It's my opinion that by default this power saving option should be turned off. I just don't understand the idea that someone who buys a high performance video card or cards as in my case (in SLi no less) would want their performance severely reduced to save power. I guess it would be great if I was on a lap top or relying on a generator for electricity or something.
I know someone who recently bought a pre-built gaming rig that had power saving features turned on by default for the CPU. This was causing stuttering and severely reduced performance when in games. When I bought this computer it also had these (two of them) CPU power saving features turned on. Am I the only one who thinks it's common sense to either rid a gaming rig completely of these "features" or at least have them turned off by default?

MSI GTX 460 HAWK Talon Attack beeps when is not on load.

Hello!
Yesterday I bought MSI GTX 460 HAWK Talon Attack together with FSP Group EVEREST 85PLUS 600W PSU.
I put it all in my old PC, powered on, but then after a while (when started to install latest MSI drivers for HAWK) my VGA started beeping periodically. These are short beeps in not fixed time interval.
The most interesting thing is that when I put my card on load, the beeping stops - it beeps only when I am in windows surfing internet etc.
I have searched through forums and didn't find a clear solution to this problem, but most likely it is a PSU issue.
MSI states, that card requires 24A on 12V for whole system (Core i7 ...).
My PSU is capable of the following:
Output Current:
30.0A @ +3.3V DC
    30.0A @ +5V DC
    18.0A @ +12V1 DC
    18.0A @ +12V2 DC
    18.0A @ +12V3 DC
    18.0A @ +12V4 DC
    .8A @ -12V DC
    3.0A @ +5Vsb DC Standby
Complete configuration of my system is:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ (Will change soon)
MB: Asus M2N-E (Will change soon)
RAM: 2 x 2 GB DDR2 800 (Will change soon)
HDD: 2 SATA drives
DVD: 1 PATA drive
VGA: MSI GTX 460 HAWK Talon Attack
PSU: FSP Everest 85PLUS 600
Is there a problem with PSU or something else could be wrong?
Thank you in advance.

Hi all !
I also have the annoying beep problem.
A couple of weeks ago I purchased a GTX460 Talon Attack and as soon as I entered a game I got beeps coming from the card. Tried a 3DMark and Kombustor, same issue. The PC is build by me, had a JeanTech 700W PSU and a GTX260 which gave me no problems, ever. As soon as I replaced it with the 460, the beeping started.
I returned it to the supplier and i got it back two days ago with the following message:
"Graphics card passes all Tests with no issues, Tests Run: Crysis WarHead, Furmark, 3Dmark Vantage, AVP, Lost Planet 2, Stone Benchmark MSI Kombuster, Resident Evil Benchmark, ATI Mecha, ATI Ladybug, "
(Graphics card passes all Tests with no issues, Tests Run: Crysis WarHead, Furmark, 3Dmark Vantage, AVP, Lost Planet 2, Stone Benchmark MSI Kombuster, Resident Evil Benchmark, ATI Mecha, ATI Ladybug, Streetfighter Benchmark and heaven benchmark tool, these were all tested at 1920 x 1200 resolution running maximum settings, tested on DX9, DX10 and DX11 where applicable, there was no issues apparent. There was no bleeping coming from the card)
Regards,
Overclockers UK - Support"
So I bought a brand new Antec TruePower 650W as I thought maybe the PSU does not regulate the voltages properly. No luck, I am still getting beeps but it's very weird. In idle (browsing internet, watching a movie or listening to music) the card is completely silent and sits in 25-29 degrees. As soon as I enter World of Warcraft (for example) and the temperature rises, at 35-36 degrees, I get 4-5 beeps then it stays quiet and I can play normally. (1920x1200 highest settings)
When I get out of the game and the temp drops, again around 36-35 degrees I get 1-2 beeps and then it remains silent again. No artefacts, errors or freezes. (so far)
I have seen the round sticker "Warranty void if removed" on the back of the card but I haven't touched it.
I really don't know what to do with it at this point and it's a very annoying problem, I cannot play anything like this.
I don't want to RMA it again since it already cost me £30 (transport & testing) plus a brand new PSU. And I love the card, the construction, the looks and the fact that it runs so cold. I just want a "fix".
Any ideas please ?
My system:
Intel i7 920 2.67GHz
Asus P6T SE X58
Corsair XMS3 3x2Gb DDR3, 1600MHz, 7-7-7-20, 1T
Zalman CNPS10X-Quiet
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Sorry for the wall of text and thanks in advance. I really hope someone has a solution or it's going to be an annoying Christmas. (I'm a technical PC engineer with a fixation for everything to go smooth)

MSI GTX 460 Hawk hangs, need help

Hello!
Need help with my MSI GTX 460 Hawk.
Sometimes it hangs and I need to restart my computer and sometimes screen goes black and then windows says that video driver wasn't responding and was recovered.
Computer hangs more often in the 3D game, but in not 3D programms computer hangs too, but no so often.
The temperature is ok, maximum is 70 deg. in 3D game. I even tried to set videocard cooller to 100% and it didn't help.
I did no overclocking or anything like this.
I use the latest videodriver from nvidia's website and the latest directx.
Windows 7 64bit.
Can you help me to solve this problem?

PSU: Raidmax 500W (22A on 12v rail)
Intel Core 2 Duo 8500 3.16GHz LGA 775
OS: Windows 7 64bit
The problem: Videocard began to hang:
Sometimes it hangs and I need to restart my computer, sometimes I get BSOD and sometimes screen goes black and then windows says that video driver wasn't responding and was recovered.
Computer hangs more often in the 3D game, but in not 3D programms computer hangs too, but no so often.
What I've allready tried:
1. Installed latest drivers from nvidia.com and latest directx.
2. Checked temperature: maximum is 70 deg. in 3D game at 100% load. I even tried to set videocard cooller allways to 100% and it didn't help.
3. Installed MSI Kombustor to burnin test videocard, but I can't catch any hangups with it.
4. Checked windows system log. The last warning after driver recovery message is:
Video driver nvlddmkm wasn't responding and was recovered.
5. Two latest BSODs were caused by dxgkrnl.sys and nvlddmkm.sys drivers.
6. Finally installed MSI LiveUpdate, it shows that no videodriver is installed and wants to download an old videodriver ver. 258.96.
Need help to solve this problem.

GTX 460 Hawk - Extreme System Lag Problems, Windows 7

Brand new from Amazon. Along with a new 750W power supply
Windows 7 Pro 64 Inel Duo E6400 with 4gb ram.
I let windows install the card and driver, the computer ran very slow and laggy, games were unplayable. I downloaded the driver from MSI and did a clean install, same thing. I went to NVIDAs website and got the newer driver for the GTX 460 which is 275.33 and it acted the same. The system was so laggy that just tpying into google created a huge weird system hanging lag.
Re-installed Nvida GeForce 8800GTS which I was replacing and it worked fine, no lags, computer ran just fine as before. The 8800 GTS should not outpreform the GTX.
I'm not sure what to do, I opened a trouble ticket on the MSI website, but if they cannot help I'll just have to send it back to Amazon and look for another card. I'd really like to just save myself the trouble and use this one.
Running dual monitors on the DVI white ports. I connected the two power cables to the card.

Ugh ok, its not my computer, its the gfs computer but she was using it.

Gtx 460 Hawk downclocks when under stress... what's wrong?

Hi people,
i've received a GTX 460 Hawk, i've been testing it to check if it worked fine and how it overclocks but when i use Furmark to check stability after a while the gpu clock gets to 450mhz...
No driver error, just is gets to 450mhz.
This happens only in overclock, the card works great at stock speeds. Temps are fine, and i've changed the power setting from adaptive to max power.
I've tried latest 290.36 beta drivers and latest whql 285.62 drivers. It does the same.
I'm on a clean installation of Win7 64bit since i got an SSD and re-installed everything, my PSU is a Corsair HW1000Watt that used to run GTX 580 until a couple of months ago, so i think is powerful enough.
What can i try? Thank you in advance.
PS my card has 70.04.13.00.01 bios version (MSINV238MS.115), i've seen that on TechPowerUP! there is a 70.04.2E.00.04 (MSINV238MS.116) version too. do i have to update the bios or is kinda the same?
the MSI Updater won't find any new bios for my card...
PS my specs are:
Intel 950
Asus Sabertooth X58
G.Skill Trident 6-7-6-18
SSD Crucial M4
MSI GTX460 Hawk
Corsair HX1000W

Test using games to see if the same condition occurs. If the card functions properly in games, nothing is wrong and the card is operating properly.
Of course, if you go by the answer MSI Tech Support gave me, their cards are designed to downclock under load....in which case, even if it's trying to render heavy 3D graphics at idle clocks it's operating properly....

GTX 460 HAWK - OC issue

Have anyone running GTX 460 Hawk at above 900 mhz?
I'm using MSI AFTERBURNER version 258.96.
I have to increase my core voltage but every times when I click apply, it goes back to the default of +10.
I have already checked the unlock voltage control, unlock voltage monitoring and force constant voltage.
Did I miss out any setting?

Mine was OK at +70 for 910, wouldn't go any higher than 910 without giving me trouble and didn't need more than +70 for 910. Just start working yours up from original 810 at factory voltage until problems start and then raise voltage till stable again. I found on mine +60 at 875 and then +70 at 910 was max. Yours may OC higher or lower depending on luck of the drw just don't except to get any closer to 1000 than I did. 1000 as said on the box is not a realistic claim in my opinion.

Doesn't matter.[it can happens to both versions. ==> buzzer defect issue, causing to work abnormally.]
RMA the VGA as Henry said
Small Update:
two things:
First:
I noticed that the gpuz, report it when VGA is under load ( furmark ) the voltage VDDC value the higher value is 0.96, is a low voltage ? 460gtx under load must be near 1.02 ?
Second:
My reseller told me that behind the card must have an sticker "void warranty if removed " over OCP protection but the card does not comes with that sticker is that possible ?
Thanks in advance

GTX 460 Hawk Talon

Hey all.
I've got one of these boards, had it for a few years now and it's served me well. Problem is, not too long ago I noticed it was starting to overheat quite a bit, after taking a look I noted one of the fans in the Twin Frozr II setup has stopped working completely. The card still works but now I need to run all my games on the lowest settings to make sure it doesn't overheat too much.
Returning / RMA'ing the card, while I'm not even certain I'd still be able to do given the fact I've had the card for a few years, isn't even a viable option. Going without the card for any period of time is a compromise I'm simply unable to do at present. So, what I'm looking for is a confirmed, working replacement for the Twin Frozr II setup or a place I can actually order one to stick onto the card.
Has anyone been able to find a way of getting their hands on one or, ideally, can anyone confirm a 3rd party cooling solution for the GTX 460 Hawk Talon that is fully compatible?
Apologies if I've missed this in another thread, I did a quick search but found nothing conclusive other than various suggestions of RMA procedure and such (Again, as I said, it's not a viable option for me).
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
chiXu

Yes. As I said, the issue is with a fan having stopped working completely. I noticed no difference after reseating the heatsink and applying new paste (Artic Silver, removed all old paste, everything done as it should have been done).

MSI GTX 460 Hawk

Hi,
I have recently purchased and installed this gfx card. Updated all my drivers and cross referenced with MSI Live 4 to make sure my system is as updated as it can be. My comp specs are in my sig
I have had a look at the Afterburner software which triggered my concerns. My stock "out of the box" core clock speed is 675mhz (which is a regular gtx460) as opposed to the suggested 780mhz.
I have done abit of googling and everyone seems to have out of the box 780mhz.
I was wondering if this is supposed to be the case, where the card under factory settings is 675 and the OC'd edition still requires me to overclock it manually via Afterburner? If theres something wrong, is there anything I can do before taking it back to the store for return/exchange?
I am pretty sure that the card I purchased is indeed a hawk as there are labels on the card and did not get ripped off. Also I live in Australia (if that matters).
I would really appreciate any feedback or opinions in regards to this topic.

Quote from: ggCakes on 14-January-11, 12:11:41
hmm, they seem to claim that in certain areas the 460gtx hawk is defaulted at 675mhz and should live with it.
I am quite upset at this "solution", as I did not pay extra money for a hawk only to run it at a normal 460's clock speed
anyone got the vbios updates etc?
It's vary either 780 or 810 ==> http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodvgaspec&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=2152
You have 675 [e.g. yours vary too much..]
Can you tell the VGA SN?

Apply new desired clock freq. with Afterburner 2.1.0 Beta 6:

Then go test the VGA and see if everything is working fine
