Best tool for OC'ing my video card.

[jawknee530]

I want to OC my 8800GTS 320MB. What is the best tool for doing so and does anyone have any links to some guides?

You are going to get a lot better responses in the video forum. I will move this thread there for you !

RivaTuner is my first choice,here's a guide: http://guru3d.com/article/article/449/

Though its very old so i wouldn't rely on it too much.

i found and used Powerstrip. I currently have my card's core and memory overclocked to 112% of its default speeds. How high could I safely push it?

It will vary from card to card. The idea is to slowly increase the clocks until the card is no longer stable, and then back off a touch.

ATiTool and 3DMark are two utilities people commonly use to benchmark and stress test their GPU overclocks. You'll also want to keep an eye on the card's temperature as you go along.
