Programs for GPU OC

What programs should I use for GPU over-clocking? I can only manage about 7500 (3d mark 06) points on my R2 with CPU over-clock. And how does GPU over-clocking generally work?

I currently use the Nvidia System Tools.



(for some odd reason when I OC'd with the other common programs like MSI Afterburner and EVGA precision, WoW crashes for me.)

Strange. I have installed it on both my Nvidia GPUs and it works fine. I am not familiar with your computers but I'd assume they all ran NVidia Graphics? Because the System Tools loads through the Nvidia control panel.

Thanks, downloaded Nvidia System Tools, whats a general stale OC I can run it at? Just to test.

I use afterburner and it works great. a GPU OC won't do much for you in 3dmark06, as it it highly CPU dependant even in the graphics test, OC'ing your CPU will give you that bump to 8K

Yep, couldn't find a reason why it crashed...I was weirded out, but it was good I could not overclock until recently (with MSI Afterburner), after I cleaned my fan/vent. I was running CPU/GPU at 75/85 on idle...all due to dust.
