The starting core clock is 1176 and the memory clock is 1750. I have an AMDFX(TM) 6300 Six Core processor 3.5GHZ and 8 gb of ddr3 ram

To be honest, I wouldn't bother. I never suggest OCing lower end cards. You just get hotter lower end scores.

Keep in mind this is the 4GB card, so if what you are doing exceeds your frame buffer, the scores will be lower. But lets say you do get 76FPS in Doom. Lets also pretend you get perfect 1:1 scaling in core clock to frame rates as a percent. Meaning if you get a 10% increase in clock speed, you get a 10% increase in frame rates. This means instead of 76FPS, you'll get 83.6FPS. The difference between these scores is of course 7.6FPS, which in the grand scheme of things amounts to not much. You were over 60FPS before, you still are. You also didn't...

You were over 60FPS before, you still are. You also didn't cross 100FPS, or 120FPS, or reach 144FPS so you can use a 144Hz monitor. Your core when up some, and your scores went up a bit as well. According to the first page the stock 560 is rated for 80W, while their card, even after OCing, used around 100W. This means you are using an extra 20W (not much) to get an extra 10% more frames. (again, not much.) There might be some cases where it helps, but in the end you aren't going to do anything where it really matters.

Manual overclocking got us all the way to 1460 MHz under The Witcher 3. This represents a respectable 134 MHz boost. We also increased the memory clock rate by 200 MHz without any stability problems over an hour-long session in the same game.

At a glance, that doesn't seem like a lot of headroom. But depending on the game, it could mean anywhere from 7- to 10%-higher frame rates.
