There is no "maximum" for overclocking especially with graphic cards as they often vary from card to card. I would increase it in small increments checking for stability every time. I'm not exactly an expert with overclocking but I know one of my friends used this process to great success using his 270x.
Hope this helps! :)

You can check stability by running benchmarks or even playing games. Yes you would probably have to change the voltage that is something to also mess with in small increments.
Best of luck! :)
