Of course it is, you cant have a high end gpu and not overclock it

If its powerful enough for your current game and resolution, then why bother.

There's always an inherent risk in overclocking. More so, if you don't know what you are doing.

You can get a lot more fps from OCing it. Its easy to do, just make sure you read/watch some guides before you do.

Msi after burner is the best software to use. Make sure you get a benchmark too. To ensure the overclock is stable. i use the heaven benchmark.

do it.

I dont think there is currently any game on the market that will trouble to gtx 670 but them extra fps in bf3 just makes it a lot funner. Im running at (1920 x 1080) would it be fine to overclock it pretty high with the palit jet stream fans on it?

Not with the 6** series. They're voltage locked and temperature throttle (slightly) at 70c.

dose that mean i wont need to touch the voltage? Im using msi afterburner. Could you reccomend what i should put it up too? with it being stable
