Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

1) Install 258.96 WHQL.
2) You'll need the gpu3 client for the 460, you can use gpu3 for the 8800 with the -advmethods flag (that would be the easiest way), or you can use the gpu2 client for the 8800 without the -advmethods flag
3) You'll need to set the clients up with the 460 client having the -gpu 0 flag and the GTS having the -gpu 1 flag.
Fermi cards have to use the gpu3 client because that's the only way to get core15 WU's. Older cards can use gpu3 with -advmethods flag, using that flag will force the client to DL core11 WU's (which is what gpu2 uses). In the interest of simplicity, I would do that myself (that's what I've done personally), but that's up to you. Figure at some point everyone will have to switch to gpu3 anyway so you might as well start the process now. One more reason to use gpu3 is that you don't have to use the -forcegpu flag anymore. (gpu3 is a lot more self aware and less reliant on flags; it's better off at figuring things out on it's own)

FF link that may help you if you have any troubles: link
Very good guide, has DL links for the clients as well and some other info (definitely worth a read).
You'll want the console client for your OS of choice (there's 1 for XP and another for Vista/7).
(It says GTX 200 series but your card would also be relevant with this info)
Essentially you will want to have 2 copies of the gpu3 folder (if you choose to go that route), 1 for the 460 and 1 for the 8800gts. Make shortcuts for each exe, add the following flags:
460:
-gpu 0 -verbosity 9
(verbosity flag not necessary but will help if you have issues so I'd add it)
8800gts:
-gpu 1 -advmethods -verbosity 9
(-advmethods will force it to DL core11 WU)
The above mentions if you have trouble, add the forcegpu flag to each and specify Fermi for the 460 and nvidia_g80 for the 8800gts, but try it without it and see if it works. Good luck!
