    hi,

    i just installed this new driver where you can overclock your videocard.
    So now I wanted to know how do you overclock? So I have Rivatuner but i dont know how hard i should overclock my videocard. Is 500/500 okay?
    And i dont want to make any damage on my video card, so if there is any possibility that i could damage my video card please tell me that...

    Yes, there is a possibility your card could become damaged while overclocking. To avoid damage, overclock in small increments with thorough stability tests after each change, and watch your temperatures.
