For starters, I would actually use RivaTuner and/or ATI Tool (mainly for the artifact scanning). You can't overclock the video cards from within the BIOS however, thats mainly for overclocking the processor.

You can change the frequency of the PCI-E bus, however thats not considered overclocking a video card. In order to overclock a video card you would need to raise the core speed, memory speed, or shader.
