I was just wondering how can you overclock your graphic card and what are the advantages of doing so?
 
The advantage, effectively, is better performance. But, only if it's a stable overclock. A faster clock means it can process more data in the same amount of time. An unstable overclock results in data being misprocessed, and artifacts occur (basically, weird s*** when you play games).

For nvidia cards, download Rivatuner and ATI Tool (search Google). Use Rivatuner to increase your core and memory clock, slowly. Then use ATI Tool to perform a never-ending stress test. Simply decide when it has run long enough, with no yellow dots (artifacts) in the window, for it to be considered stable for you (4 mins is enough for me). Then return to Rivatuner, and increase a bit more.

Im pretty sure the same software works for Ati cards, but am not too sure.
 
Am I right it saying Nvidia Drivers already have a clock tool in built but it just is disabled, because I think I have seen a Registry tool which unlocks the "hidden" Nvidia Driver frequency changer?
