I saw i video of a guy who overclocked his Redeon HD 7950, and thought i would do the same with my card
I didn't go overboard on the overclock like many others have done, but i increase the core and memory clocks alittle at a time, and ran Vantage to test the impact of the OC.
I started from my cards stock clocks of 925 mhz core and 1250 mhz memory, and then after a few test bumped up the core clock to 1150 mhz and increased the memory clock to 1350 mhz, and i also set +13 % extra power in the options.
Now it runs great, with 29*c idle and under 55*c load
And lastly my system's Vantage score and the OC'ed graphic cards new score,
P32670 an increase of 2600 points
The OC'ed graphic card which runs perfectly fine with the new OC scored
37322 an increase of 4000 points

So i'm pleased with my new score and the systems performance

I played it safe on the overclock, the HD 7950 has been know to do well over 1250 mhz core and 1600 mhz memory speeds, but i like my card and would want to last atleast untill the next series of Redeon cards comes out 1-2 years down the line
