The applications and games used in today's tests are the latest of what was available at the time of this analysis - links to demos and free trials are provided when applicable. MSI's GeForce GTX 460 1GB HAWK features a default core clock of 780 MHz, and shader of 1560 MHz, while the memory runs at 900 MHz (3600 MHz effective). Full specifications can be found here. Overclocking allowed us to increase the core to 940 MHz, shader to 1880, and memory to 1075 MHz (4300 MHz effective) making full use of all the available voltage adjustments possible. Game Benchmarks: We have compiled a list of popular and graphically challenging games which include titles utilising Microsoft's DirectX 9, 10 and 11 API's for testing today, using 1920x1200 and 1680x1050 resolutions that are most commonly used by gamers based on Steam's hardware survey. A reference AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB was thrown into the mix as they come in at similar price points. MSI's GeForce GTX 460 HAWK stock and overclocked results are highlighted in blue.
