I have been looking up overclocking recently, and previously I thought that I could only overclock my CPU. Unfortunately I cannot overclock my CPU, but I would like to try my graphics card.
How can I overclock my graphics card, should I overclock it and what difference does it make?

My other PC specs:
Pentium g2020 2.9 GHz
650W PSU
16GB RAM
Gigabyte H61 chipset motherboard
AMD PowerCooler 7770 2GB GHz eddition

when you overclock gpu the maximum stable benefit is about 10% -15% imo,install afterburner or any gpu oc apps/SW,adjust the gpu and memory clock a little maybe 10 for gpu and 5 for memory(to be safe) then after those adjust run a game for a 15 mins or just run a full benchmark(heaven bench mark or whatevs),if its still stable adjust the clocks then repeat step untill you hit the blackscreen/not responding display if this happens lower your clock.GL!

Yep if I were you i wouldn't oc anything,and OC-ing sometimes makes things run bad like when I oc my card and play Assassins creed Brotherhood fps is like less than 20 when it should be 30+fps
