Hi there, Can someone recommend me a good overclock for this card?

The normal stats are:

GPU Clock(Mhz): 1070
Memory Block(Mhz) 6400

That would be great, thanks!

1200/1600 would be a good overclock. But you might need to increase voltage to get the core stable at that speed.

Thanks for the quick reply, I've never really overclocked graphics cards before. However, It came with GPU Tweak and my friends suggest I do to get the best out of the card.

So, Should I move the GPU clock up to 1200?
 
Not straight away. Just move it up in small increments on the core only first of all, check for stability, if no artifacting, increase, then repeat till you get some artifacting. Once you have found your stable core clock, repeat with the memory.

Thanks again, Is there any software out there that will allow me to check if its stable?
 
Am running Unigine valley benchmark. Now at 1200mhz for gpu clock. No issues with anything, Runs the benchmark fine, Fans are on 60% and keep it to around 55-60c.

Should I keep clocking it up more? :P
 
Nevermind, My computer locked up twice and has now reset my CPU overclocks and my cards back to standard clocks. No idea but I think playing with the overclocking settings for the GPU can be left alone if its gonna do that.
 
Yes definitely. There is a thread on overclocking amd cards there's a link in the sticky at the top of the graphics card section.
I use afterburner personally.
