I have an MSI GTX 670. The first thing you should do is turn on the OSD in Afterburner and hotkey it so that you can turn it on and off in game. Feel free to play with the settings, but with my card, I got the best results from leaving everything at default except the "power" slider. Turn the power slider to maximum to allow the card to draw more power and overclock itself more.

When using afterburner, I found that overclocking manually would only send the card into a lower processing state faster and cause it to throttle faster. Logically, it makes no sense. I do not understand why it does that, still, I would get higher clock speeds under load on the default settings, no kidding. Heck, on the default settings, it will already...

I'm using MSI Afterburner. Do I change the core clock or the memory clock?

Both. Core by about 20Mhz increments and memory by about 50Mhz increments. Do one at a time until it causes a crash in something graphically stressful (I use unigine heaven). When a crash occurs peel back the frequency by 10Mhz for core and 25 for mem until you find the point it is stable. Then leave unigine running for about an hour or 2 at that frequency and check that it really is stable.

Running the max for both mem and core often isn't stable when both are used so you are advised to drop them a little bit. Which one to drop is up to you but you can use the built in benchmark of unigine to find which one is most stable

I do not understand why it does that, still, I would get higher clock speeds under load on the default settings, no kidding. Heck, on the default settings, it will already overclock itself until it reaches a relatively hot 80°C and keep it there as long as there is demand. This software is very clever.

Here's some light reading. I know you have a 760, but it's the same GPU, so the same principles apply.
