I found 3, they are all compiled in 2010, how are you going to flash a vga bios if the card is "read only" locked.
Looks like you are current.
Be careful :http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?architecture=NVIDIA&manufacturer=EVGA&model=GTX+460&interface=&memType=&memSize=

I'm new to the whole GPU BIOS thing, I was hoping there might be a later revision of the BIOS that would allow me to put it past 1.087v. Other people have had this problem and overcame it. I'm trying to get the card to at least 1.1v so I can get higher clocks.

I think some of them are using a modded BIOS, but I don't know for a fact. I can OC my card to 850/1700/2000 and run Furmark and Heaven 4.0 for 2 hours without failure or any issues (I just shut them off after that, I consider them plenty stable) I OC with MSI Afterburner but I'm considering using EVGA Precision to see if that will help my case. This forum thread was dedicated to my BIOS issue, but I have my other OC thread here --> http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1712589/strange-issues.html

Currently using EVGA Precision now. I found a solution! I rasied the voltage cap to 1.1v. I directly edited the BIOS and flashed it myself. It was a surprisingly easy process too, I was expecting way more. Anyways, my problem is now entirely fixed! I even managed to clock the card all the way up to 900/1800/1950! (I'm being careful with the memory since my 460 doesn't have heatshrinks there, plus I've been told it doesn't do much anyways) I don't know if this voltage trick did the job by itself, but there were like 50 something windows updates that I was unaware of, AND I rolled back to 296.10 WHQL drivers. Hasn't crashed since! I'm actually able to play my games now!

How did you edit the BIOS? I'm using a GTX 460 SE (OEM Dell part) and I want to unlock voltage control.
