Go up in increments of 5 on each scale, from your present setting, and
when you start to get ill behaviour, back off a few steps and call it
quits there. I would guess that you should be able to get over 300/600
with that card BUT = Don't take my word. This is an exercise in
"your" nerves, not mine...

You should run a game that demands a lot from your system, to really
test it out. Run it for about 5 minutes each time, while you pass
judgement on your card at that speed...

Be careful though. Symptoms could include..
White lines developing in your images - looking like a cracked mirror.
Graphics tearing - Images look like they are comming apart at the
seams..
Jumping - Images start to bounce around indicating instability.
Lockups - Self explanatory..
Rebooting - You guess..!!!
Funny smell - Overheating - The last warning before impending
self-destruct.

Any one of these (and/or more symptoms) and you should immediately
back off a few increments as you have found your limit...

Well, I've managed to get to 285/585 before encountering problems, so I
think this is the max this card is going to reach. Started to get tearing
and artifacts across screen, and any higher than that caused a system
lockup.
