Overclocking 7850 OC edition. First time overclocking

[TrevS]

Hi all

I've just installed my new Sapphire 7850 Overclock Edition and I'd like to test overclocking. I've never overclocked a card before so I've just downloaded MSI afterburner and GPU-Z as I understand these are good tools for overclocking.

What I'd like to know is what is a safe/good amount to overclock this card by and what's the best/most popular benchmarking tool to test stability?

The standard stats are as follows:
Core clock speed: 920
Memory clock: 1250

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Trevor
