How Do I Overclock My GPU Properly ?

Solution
there is no "correct" or "proper" way to overclock, and there is no 100% safe way. there are many different utilities you can use, sapphire trix, msi afterburner, oc guru etc. generally you want to start with small steps, then run a test like unigine through a few passes to check for stability/graphical arifacts, and if all is good and temperatures are ok, you can oc some more. Generally just increasing mhz and keeping your temps within spec wont kill your card and is pretty safe. increasing voltage and running higher temperatures and then the risks increase. but there is no guarantee with overclocking.
