    Can't get good stable GPU clocks?

    I can't help but notice that practically everyone on this forum is able to overclock their GPU to at least 550/1320/850 perfectly stable. Me, however, I can't go over 515Mhz on core without crashing eventually (Mafia II demo for example). My temperatures stay perfectly within normal range even in higher overclocks.

    I was wondering if there was anything I could do about this. Is it simply that my GPU is a 'bad egg' so to speak or is there something I could change in order to achieve those higher clocks?

    Driver: 258.96
    GPU OC Software: MSI Afterburner (tried EVGA with same result)
    GPU Stability Test: Furmark and Mafia II demo

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
