The simple guide to overclocking your 680. "Revised"
1.
Download EVGA precision tool:
http://www.techpowerup.com/163927/EVGA-Precision-X-Updated-to-Version-3.0.2.html
Save your profile by right clicking the numbers in the profile section, then left clicking it.
Tell it to open on startup in settings and change anything else you like in there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Increase your power target, anywhere from +10% to +32%.
When using this card at stock speeds or with minor overclocks, adjusting the power target will not make much of a difference:

However it is REQUIRED to raise this limit, when overclocking the card heavily.
IMO: If you OC you should benchmark it, then raise your power target and benchmark it again.
See if it's better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
Raise your core 100 and your memory 300.
(I hit 130 core and 500 memory, on air cooling.)
Test in Unigine Heaven mark:

Then go from there.
I recommend increments of 20.
