GTX460 recommended V's @ 850/2000?

I stayed at stock on mine at that clock, but I have a normal card, not a SE.

Same here. I kept it at stock voltages for 850 core. I recently upped it to 1.050V for 880 core.

You can tell if your voltage is enough by either playing games and looking for artifacts or running something like 3DMark11, Unigine Heaven, or Crysis benchmark tool and also looking for artifacts in those programs. I would guess that you are actually not stable at 850 at just .975v.

Once you determine what voltage it takes to make 850 stable then you will have a better idea of what it will take to make 900MHz stable but I would guess that you will require near max voltage which is 1.087 I believe.

I'm actually completely stable at 850... I ran Furmark @ .950v and 885/2000 yesterday night and I still had no artifacts or crashing. The only thing that annoys me is the GPU load that goes up and down in games, but that happened @ stock clocks, too. No big deal.

I would also use something that better simulates actual games in addition to just Furmark. The 3 programs I listed above are all pretty good and are all available for free online. There are also some cool demos here, I don't know if I would call all of these stability test but they should be somewhat useful. Just use something in addition to Furmark.

Mine's running at 1037mv for 850/1700/2120

I use 1.037

You have the exact same clocks as me and I run my cards at default voltages. Works flawlessly.
Note: only stock cooling aswell.

Whoa, you guy have some bad overclocking cards. One of mine runs at .975V and the other one can run at 1V.

The EVGA 768mb card is different. 1.037 is just fine for the EVGA EE version.

I get to 850 with my EE at 1.12v(aka stock). I am running at 1.187v at 950.

I ran 850/2000 with stock voltages on my SE. I currently run 940/2050 with 1.1V.

SE runs alot higher OCs, same with 768, cause of limitations on the card itself.

I read up on the same for the MSI 1gb cyclone, found tons of folks at 900/1800 at 1.08. So I slowly worked up to that.

I've played Crysis, AVP, Unigine benchmarking tool, for hours at the time with no artifacts or crashes.
And it never got any warmer that 67c, even with warm ambiet temps.

I pushed the card up to 910/1820/2025 @ 1000mv. Ran Furmark and I had no issues at all, except for the max temp which was 74c. I know 74c is not bad at all but the temperature jump of 10c from 975mV to 1000mV just made me uncomfortable. I'm assuming my chip is good overall, though.

As of right now I'm still running it @ 850/1700/2000 @ 962mV and on a 60 second performance run on Furmark I achieved 7194 points using DX11, 1920x1080, Post FX, and 32xQ AA (I think). Stock clock score was around 5500 so I'm glad I got that jump in performance. My Gigabyte 6850 hit 6027 points on 885/1120.
