Brett,
I don't know if your card has a GPU fan on it but assuming it does, at
least my card is completely stable at roughly 10% over default specs. I
notice no jitter or nasty artifacts until I get to 20% over on the core
speed. Heat doesn't seem to be an issue to me with my copper heatsink
and fan.
