I want to overclock my 680, but I don't really know what software to use, and what numbers I should be looking at?

How should I know when to stop? 

Any help is appreciated. :D

Afterburner, Trixx, or  GPU tweak. 

 

set voltage to highest comfortable voltage, set desired overclock, lower voltage until the card is no longer stable or lower clock until card is stable. 

 

From there you can start turning down voltages and clocks once you know your maximums. 

 

Use OCCT or Kombustor to test for instability.

If you don't know what you're doing, just leave it to GPU Boost.

 

 

Afterburner, Trixx, or  GPU tweak. 

I've become rather partial to Precision-X. Wasn't happy with GPU Tweak at all.

I use ASUS GPU Tweak, or as I like to call it, GPU Twerk. It works well, and has GPU-Z built in. When you start to see artifacts and the idle temp goes through the roof, stop. My GTX 770 Windforce is OC'd to 1350/7350
