had a ton of requests for a video outlining the performance I was able to squeeze out of the msi geforce gtx 460 hot so this feature is the Twin Frozr - heatsink it's got dual DVI one mini HDMI and you can see I've got a bunch of fans blowing around it right now just kind of put the camera through there so it takes two 6-pin power connectors as I mentioned in my unboxing that I did you can see the voltage check points down here these fans are going pretty good right now because I have this thing over bolted let me see so here is a beta version of MSI Afterburner that includes full support for the GTX 460 Hawk so you can see here the core voltage memory voltage and auxiliary voltage are all adjustable so I've turned up I'm just going for max core right now I haven't actually done anything with the memory but I was able to achieve 962 megahertz fully fir mark stable with the hawk Edition card so that is what I was able to do and I haven't tried any 3dmark runs yet but once I dial in the memory I will I'll try and get some 3d mark going and then what I want to do too is compare it to the GTX 480 so thank you for checking out my core overclocking video on mihawk don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips and stay tuned for more updates on this sweet video card oh hey actually know before I'm done here's something I wanted to mention this is a reference PCB GTX 460 it has the cyclone cooler from MSI but something I wasn't sure about in my video with the hawk is whether or not it is longer than a reference PCB 460 the answer is yes it's approximately that much longer yeah my angle is now right this video is gonna be all about comparing the GTX 460 Twin Frozr to Hawk from MSI against the GTX 480 now it's not a completely fair comparison because I am going to be overclocking the GTX 460 so here is the settings that I am running at here so you can see I'm running at 962 megahertz on the core and 2.07 3 gigahertz on the RAM okay so I'm doing that and here's the score I got in 3dmark Vantage so I know I have physics on but I'm gonna have physics on for both cards so it will be an apples to apples comparison and this is running a core i7 980 X at 4.15 gigahertz I'm running 6 gigs of Kingston liquid ready h2o series HyperX RAM and I'll be back in a moment when we have to score for the GTX 480 so remember that number 21 601 for the 460 hawk
