Thanks guys, will take a look at both.
Not overly bothered about OC'ing this card
as I game at 1680x1050 but it would be nice to see what it can do.-

Okay, using EVGA Precision 3.03 and I can set;
Core +85
Mem +500
It now boosts to 1215MHz with the memory at 7012MHz.
Heaven 3 score at stock with teselation normal and 4x anisotropy was 1866.
With OC that becomes 2023.
More importantly (to me anyway) is that my min fps jumps from 11.1 at stock to 24.5 OC'd.
Temp tops out at 65deg.

I got a new 670 windforce the other day and it fairs much better, 93.9% and it tops out to 1285mhz oc so another 110mhz ontop of the last one, its cost me £15 as I sold it locally but I think its worth it as I'm happier knowing its not the worst card on here 
Whats that in? As thats one hell of a jump for not a huge overclock

Yes, heaven bench.
Stock: Min 11.1 Max 137.5
OC'd: Min 24.5 Max 151.6
To be fair that is a 1GHz oc on the memory. I know most people are managing that so while not unusual I don't think it is a small oc.
Oh, and Heaven settings;
Render:direct3d11
Mode:1680x1050 4xAA fullscreen
Shaders:high
Textures:high
Filter:trilinear
Anisotropy:4x
Occlusion:enabled
Refraction:enabled
Volumetric:enabled
Tessellation:normal
Stock: Min 11.1 Max 137.5
OC'd: Min 24.5 Max 151.6

Mine was 95.5% and now is only 72.8% - is it normal?
Caporegime
Mine was 100%, now reading at 84%.
gawd I'd forgotton about this, mine was 93.9% and just checked mine, now 71.5% 
Caporegime
Why it's dropped i have no idea tbh. Possible that newer versions of gpuz read the asic rating a bit more accurately. The last time i had checked mine was shortly after getting the card in june last year.

Still running mine with a pretty high oc, +120 core, +760 memory.
ah, just read its dependant on the version of gpu-z, i just uninstalled the newest one and installed 0.6.4 (from 0.6.7 or something) and its back upto 93.9% at least the card isnt dying
