Just up the core/memory frequency about 20mhz and then stress test the card with a software like Furmark. Then if the image starts artifacting or freezing just lower that frequency by 10 mhz. Also when you overclock your card you should look at the core/memory graphic chart to see if the frequency modified, because it doesn't always change at given speeds. To do that just keep furmark at a lower resolution in background, because if the card is idle the frequencies will be lowered to a idle state
