    There's no way to tell. Every graphics card is different, including GPUs that are the same model.

    you can usually go up to 10-15% OC however i'd suggest you get another GPU like the ATI 6990 if your planning to OC this GPU as its much better.

    I just overclocked my 485m to match the speeds of a 580 and have not had any problems. There is a post about overclocking the 485 on the Sager forums. Every computer will be different
