When your system is booted, open RivaTuner once more and go again into the first option in Driver Settings. Then drag the slider up, 50MHz. Do not move the Memory clock. I recommend you don't uncheck "Link clocks". If you do, that is ok, but make sure the Shader clock is set to at least double the speed of the core clock or it will malfunction. DO NOT overclock the memory, you will get numerous errors. Anyway, setting the shader clock higher will yield better results than the core clock.

Overclocking is when you use a program or the BIOS to make your processor, graphics card, RAM, or other components run faster than they are suppoused to. Though some computer companies (like Dell's XPS desktops) overclock their processors standard, you need really good cooling to keep your computer from self-destructing, and overclocking may even shorten the life of the components. My friend and his dad know everything there is about PCs and overclocked the processor to be incredibly fast, like WAAAY past even the danger zone. It was cool for like, 10 minutes untill it overheated past the point that the BIOS was set to shut the computer down at. I think he said it got to like 80 degrees? I can't remember. Anyway, it fried the motherboard, and every single component was incredibly hot. That's the best case scenario.

Only overclock if you have tons of cash to spend, have a great pc cooling system, and know what you're doing!
