Don't rely on programs that detect the best OC. You need to do it manually and test with programs like Furmark or ATItool.

I recommend you try GPUTool, it can test for stability and it's auto tune feature was actually correct for me.

I agree with those who posted before me, overclock your system through the BIOS to get the best results, and I stress test with Linx and Prime95

I just realised that this is in the Nvidia section. lol @ me.

You could try:

RivaTuner
ATI Tool
Furmark

Sorry for my "Mr. Magoo-ishness"

RivaTuner. Though, after you achieved your max stable OC, you can have them stick through a BIOS mod like NiBiTor. Don't forget to setup fan profiles, either low-level, or driver-level.

Yes, its auto feature is pretty nice. Though, this tool sucks for multi GPU installations. It does not properly stress the second GPU, but it will increase the clocks on the second GPU while it stresses the first GPU. This little program actually killed a GPU of mine a few weeks ago. I thought it was stressing the 2nd GPU while it was increasing the clocks. It worked so well on the first GPU I went and smoked a cig only to come back and it had increased my 2nd GPU's clocks to 1050Mhz, which I know is way to high for my stability. About 2 mins later that GPU died.

Though, it is still a great app for single GPU installations.
