SHould I use the Asus OC tool?

SHould I use MSi afterburner?

What can of numbers should i be running?

Simply: Don't overclock. It will add little performance gains (like 2 to 3 fps), increase heat consumption and the card will be less stable.

Really? What about all that 'free performance on the table' I keep hearing about?

I would use afterburner, seems to work the best.

1. Max out the power target
2. Set GPU clock to + 150mhz
3. Set vram to + 150mhz
4. hit apply and test stability

You should be able to hit similar clocks to this within a few %

Theres potential to get an extra 8-10% performance depending on how good your piece of silicon is.
