I don't know much about Bitcoinz, but you should be able to get a bit more out of that card. Drop your memory clock down to the minimum and up your core clock higher. Each card is different but you should be able to get the core to at least 900. I've seen some that claim to have the core up to 1000 on these cards with 1.25v (the temps would probably be a bit high for 24/7 mining at that voltage though). Also, to get a bit more performance, you may be able to unlock the shaders. Anyways, just some things to think about.

Use MSI Afterburner and save different profiles. One for gaming and one for mining. Make sure to unlock afterburner though to give your more headroom for your overclocks.

Pretty sure you can still save different profiles with trixx. I haven't used it for a while though because last time I played with it it didn't seem to work right.

Also, I looked into Bitcoinz, and if you arent mining 24/7 you may get more out of a PPS pool rather than a score based one like they are. I would recommend looking into a low fee PPS pool like Bitparking.
