Nvidia GTX460 Overclock?!?!

Asked by Dreadslicer

I've been trying to overclock my GTX 460 in ubuntu. But it seems that nvidia has disabled fermi overclocking in linux....

Is there another way? I'm stuck with using GTX 460 in linux because windows does not allow me to use it. (I'm using a laptop+PCIe out via expresscard slot)

Or am I stuck with the current?

My GCard goes 40 Celsius max. without overclock...

It's an option in xorg.conf

I've already tried that. Coolbits is disabled for fermi (GTX4xx) cards.

Fermi OC'ing is just not supported yet: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODg0OA
