Overclocking is a silicon lottery. I expect around 4.5 or so, but never expect. I've had two of the same model 7770, one clocked to 1300/1444 and the other maxed at 1050/1200. Good luck!

It also depends on:
1) the motherboard, and
2) the CPU cooler

You should also make sure your BIOS is up to date and make sure your DDR3 memory is optimal. If you overclock you might mess with the memory timings. Don't go past 1866MHz.

You should also run MEMTEST, then a CPU stress application with Windows.

There are recommendations online you can Google for overclocking recommendations. If you have a stock cooler, replace it with something like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (I haven't checked if it's compatible).
