have you tested for stability? Try running an artifact scanner.
 
yea... or 3dmark06 :D
that'd stress any video card enough to tell.
but yea, 75mhz core and 70mhz (ddr140) will definitely make an improvement.. probably by 15-20fps in some games. however, it depends on the card and what game.
so, what card?

Tell me, what game would see such a performance increase like 15-20 FPS just from overclocking?
 
well it would, depending on whats bottlenecking you more... and what quality settings you have the game at... and what game it is lol

No, 75mhz will not give you near 15 more fps.

Depends. In some games it can give you 1 fps increase at certain places then again it can give you a 10 fps increase at some games. It's not only the hardware that matters.

what if you started at 0mhz ;)
haha jk... but seriously, 75mhz, depending on the card and the game, could increase performance by enough for it not to lag. and were not only talking about 75mhz core, were talking about 70mhz (ddr140) memory increase as well.

You wont see that much of an increase, but you may be able to see a few FPS different and/or a few point higher in benchmarking programs. But nothing extraordinary.
 
Yea, usually you will get about 5FPS more when OCing. It also depends on the card. Some cards will OC like crazy, and some will not OC at all. Just depends...
