    EVGA Precision dont works anymore...
    Seems like nvidia changed something in the drivers that avoid overclocking.

    Which driver version do you use atm with the GTX460m?

    I'm on 280.26 and EVGA is working just fine. I will note that did have an issue with EVGA not accepting new clocks and was reverting back to default. I simply rebooted and maybe a power drain and the issue went away.

    I think I had recently upgraded my video drivers around this time too.

    figured it out and it works for me with 280.26 too now.

    what i did is just deinstalled evga precision, installed the nvidia driver new and after that i installed evga and it works now finally.

    seems like if you install new drivers for the gpu u have to reinstall evga
