EVGA Precision, Rivatuner, so on and so forth. Id get clued up on overclocking before you delve into it though.

I use nVidia's nTune for convenience.

You can use RivaTuner, powerful tool there.

Recently I was using Galaxy's graphic card and it came with the ExtremeTuner software, handy too. Most brands have their own OC tool. Another recent on I tried was MSI's OCing software (hated that one).

nTune isn't really that good. Evga Precision or RivaTuner for sure. Precision has an easy to use layout and it's easy to find all the options you need, core clock, shader clock, memory...also lets you choose with GPU you're messing with.

indeed - I use nTune for convenience. :) core / mem / fan adjustments only. If i want more detailed adjustments, RivaTuner it is.

Rivatuner is by far the best option. EVGA Precision is a close second, but is more user friendly.
