    Is it OK to OC the vcard (as well as the CPU) only when needed (i.e. for a specifyc game that needs extra power), and then just keep it normal the rest of the time?

    i.e. Crisis needs OCing to be playable, but then other games are fine with regular clocking.

    Yes, it's better than OC it 24/7 (especially if you are doing a fairly high OC) and it's also that's what I do.
