Yes you should do it if your overclocking anyways

It'll help with Anti-Aliasing, Post Processing, textures & other things that are VRAM intensive

1) Should i OC my vram on my r9 390x?

2) Will i see some performance improvement in doing that?

1) yes

2) but not much to justify the oc (for me at least)

it all depends on the programs use of vram. OC memory I see a drastic increase in performance on things like Valley benchmarking, in real world gaming though, the difference between 7500 and 8200 doesn't seem noticeable on my frame rate.

 OK thanks guys What would be a good stable OC on core clock and memory for my MSI r9 390x?

OC VRAM can push the possible Mhz Clock Speed Offset more.

It depends on the silicon lottery.

Just try +100 core clock 110 power limit and +500 mem clock

something around there

not sure if its different for AMD cards

Depends - if the card is bandwidth-starved such as the 6850 and currently the GTX 960 performance gain will be large. if the card ain't in need of more bandwidth such as the 7970 or GTX Titan (OG TItan) then it's going to be a minimal gain.
