Good find! ..and I would add to use the 'Test New Settings' each time you increase before making them permanent for start up.

What is better to increase? Memory clock or core clock?
EDIT:Stock speeds: 300/906, right now i'm at 315/920 and I use the test changes and it worked fine.

Coolbits looks great

Can someone help me out here? In the settings box there is the option of standard 2d or performance 3d? The default is standard 2d. When I click on performance 3d and click deteck optimal frequency, the card goes through the test and when its done is says 522/1(ghz). Is this safe to overclock to with stock fan? The compuetr tested it and sait is was alright.

Ok so what is a good speed for my card? Stock speed 300/906.

Maybe around 350/950.

You really have to figure it out yourseld. Go up incriments til you find artifacts or your card keeps messing up or that you game keeps freezing... stuff like that. Then go back down alittle.
