    Calling all nvidia users. I was wondering if someone could walk me through a DETAILED way of how to flash nvidia vBOIS as well as blind flashing.
    Thanks

    No this is for a friend who has a different card. AFAIK the 460m GTX is not moddable. I just want the knowledge for future reference.

    ok thanks.. thats what I thought... and damn Dell for under-volting the 460 because it does not support an OC further than 750 core MHz :(

    750 core? Have you tried EVGA Precision? That has sliders that go further than 750 I'm sure.

    Yeah well I'm not gaming as I have lots of work to do but all seems stable and also very cool in terms of idle temps around ~45C in a pretty warm environment.
