Help oc'ing my Hercules 9700 pro....

[#ball3r]

I would like to get my card going the fastest possible for online gaming and benching. I would like to use my system 24/7 at these speeds so take that into consideration. Right now I mostly play quake 3 and am going to start some UT2k3 and BF1942 so how should I set up the advanced settings, namely the direct3d and openGL tabs? Also what kind of overclock should I expect with the stock fan and ramsinks and no voltage mods? How high is safe for the agp voltage and do I need to raise it? My system is currently running 11x227 1.8v 2,2,2,3 DC sync. My video is at 360/330 right now and that's with stock agp voltage.

Regarding the direct3d and openGL tabs, it's as usual a balance between performance and quality. But for games you should put vertical sync on as there is no point in having 300fps if your screen is at 70hz.
As for overclock,

10 raise the gpu speed some 5 mhz
20 run 3dmark bench
30 if it completes it, goto 10
40 turn down gpu speed by some 5 - 10mhz
50 end
