The only thing that could potentially limit you is your PSU, as long as you have a decent one with a decent amount of wattage (I can't give an exact number because it depends on what else is in your rig) then you'll be good.

Aight, so I have 2 GTX 460's. One is a normal gigabyte and the other is a factory overclocked .... Asus I think.

I've never really over clocked b4 as Ive never really needed to. But as it seems its time to upgrade, I would like to give things a go.

Can any of you guys recommend any settings that I should use in MSI afterburner?

Or if there is a thread which I havent come across yet that might be more suited to this subject?

Any help will be great.

​Thanks folks. :cool:


My Rig:- AsRock Z68 Extreme 4 Gen3, Intel Core i5 2500K Sandy Bridge, 6 gig 1600mhz ram, 2x GTX 460 Sli, Corsair HX 850w PSU.
