Ok so this card has the catalyst drive to up the proformence of the gpu so my graphics card runs at gpu clock setting 860mhz and the memory settings at 1200mhz when idle its around 33-35 celcuis and gaming it runs ay 69 is that a sefe temp and if so do you think i could bring the gpu up to 1000mhz and the memory up to 1400mhz and the fan from 20 to 70-75 with little to no consiquence

I have this exact card. I run a full throttle overclock using the Control Center. Mine has not gone higher than 72 degC. No crashes or issues either, totally solid, highly recommend. I even have the fan speed on auto, just be sure to pump up power to +20%

Also, this card just blows hot air everywhere instead of directing it out the back. Make sure your case has adequate ventilation to accomodate for the increased heat. If the card his 80 - 90+ degC, panic.

I wouldn't jump that high. I would do increments of 50mhz, and check the results each time to make sure it runs stable and heat efficient in games

I'd also use something like msi afterburner of sapphire trixx for overclocking because you can change the voltage as wellm if need be and you can set a fan speed plan, so when it gets hot the fans speed up instead of staying at 20%
