Technical data / specifications

With the GTX 460 SOC (Super Overclock) Gigabyte has GTX 460 in its portfolio which has been highly modified. Therefore they equipped this card with a brand new seven phase power design that is able to allow good overclocking potential. Gigabyte itself overclocks the card by 140 MHz as a factory default, resulting in a GPU clock of no less then 815 MHz. Also the memory clocks have been tweaked and the GTX 460 SOC now features 4'000 MHz on the memory.
The Taiwanese company also overworked the cooler which is still a dual-slot version but much more powerful thatn the standard design. Even under load it is able to keep the temperatures low and also the nois level, especially under idle condition, is very low.
