OMG, I am going to answer the question;
Use MSI afterburner, it's easier to use.

When you overclock you lose your warranty because of the risks of frying your card.
Although every one overclocks and doesn't care about their warranty as they know what they are doing.

Before buying a new card you HAVE TO try overclocking it as it does make a difference. If you are not satisfied with your overclock, go for the aboves advices on upgrades but it really wouldn't hurt to attempt an overlock



Download MSI afterburner and furmark.

Leave the fan control on your card on automatic and increase the clock of mainly the core and memory slowly first by about 50MHz.

Apply and then run furmark to do a GPU stress test; this will push your GPU...
If you don't get the performance you need upgrade to a 9800GT, the best card ever for under $80.

And tell me how your over clock goes.
Use GPU-Z to let you know if the clock rates are correct.
 
hey i overclocked it by 100 Mhz and memory clock by 50 Mhz....... played gta4 for 45 mins and it worked stable... but i got only 3 or 4 FPS boost... and after increasing some of settings game again started to lag.......And i am using EVGA Precision for checking correct clock rates......

So it's upgrade time.......

thanks.....
