Not all cards are the same. Some like the Asus have great VRM's and cooling which can handle more overclocking.
I don't know how the PNY you own is constructed.
If you want to overclock:
a) read about GPU BOOST and understand it well
b) overclock/volt until your system crashes/freezes then back off (I prefer to be at least 50MHz below crash territory).
In general, you should possibly just increase the frequency though I do have to go back and look at GPU BOOST 2 to give better advice as I have a 680.

Better explanation: http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/asus_gtx_770_directcu_ii_oc_review,4.html
Your PNY software probably recognizes your card and limits the amount it can be overclocked to prevent damage if it's not constructed well enough.

It appears you overclock using the EVGA software like this:
a) drag power/temp bar
b) raise base frequency
So how well this works depends on your graphics card components. Again, though if you don't have these features then adjust what you do have in small increments then back off when/if you crash.

I tried overclocking raising about 10mhz on the core and about 50mhz on the memory using the heaven benchmark I did this till i got like 100mhz core and 400mhz memory it ran fine on heaven but when i played far cry 3 it crashed after 15 minutes. And you can only adjust the voltage 12mv the bar goes almost to the top but when i look at gpu-z it actually lowers the vddc. wierd
The small bump that MSI Afterburner provides to the power isn't really overvolting the card as much as it's unlocking the power fed to the card (if you're talking about the Power Limit slider bar) so don't worry about cranking it up to help with your overclock. Just make sure you keep an eye on the temps.
