I've searched other threads but I dont really see anyone with my issue.
Exact Card : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202006

Pretty much as the title says i need help overclocking my card ( If it's even possible! ). I have this strange issue for some games where certain clock speeds will work or they'll just work for a while before it like glitches the game and I have to relaunch ( Dota 2,Bf4, Planetside 2 and some others ) I'll use same clock speeds as others with my card and even change the voltage just to see i gain no progress. One time I even left my card benchmarking on unigen heaven for like an hour while I was out (On one of the clocks I thought to be stable ) Just to comeback to see weird black artifacts I guess disappeared though when i restarted the pc. ) I just wanna see if anyone can help me with my case or if it's just not possible at all.

Hi,

Will Crimsion is not providing any help to the old GPU's as they are excluded from any future updates. Mostly they support now R's series. What you can do either downgrade or check this link it contains a helpful info about OC GPU from Crimsion.

Hi,

I had HD5570 and I found the best software to OC your GPU is "AMD Catalyst™ Software" but use Automatic detection. It will do the tests and will stop at some point where your GPU can't exceed speed/memory also it is safe.
