While no cards (chips) are the same, yes, you can overclock to get near GTX 470 performance, however, if it is not too late, I would get a GTX 460 instead, it performs like a GTX 465 but with less noise, heat and power draw (EDIT: or wait for the GTX 560 which is going to be released soon).

For overclocking I am using EVGA Precision, but you could also go with MSI Afterburner.
