I think you should rely on a given GPU for a good base (stock) performance. Anything more that you can gain with a modest OC is a nice bonus. Don't however count on an OC to make a lower-end model perform as good as a higher-end one, or gain FPS that you desperately need for your game to be playable. Those last 5-10% aren't going to matter much and certainly not worth blowing up your hardware for. Better just brute force it with 2 or 3-Way SLI.

...but hey I just noticed your sig. You're already running SLI so you know this
