Start overclocking it and find out. I was able to push mine ~20% over stock clocks IIRC.

I used nVidia System Tools for overclocking. What are you using?

I got mine up to 825/1050 for 24/7 use, a little higher for benching. Try System Tools, but be sure to uninstall Afterburner first. Also, watch your temps

I would recommend keeping it under 90C max. I'd feel a lot more comfortable under 85C, personally.
