Can I overclock shaders in radeon? Does it improve mining?

What else can I overclock apart from Core and Memory?

How do i know if same radeon but different brand (like Sapphire) overclocks better?

Yes you can and should overclock...

the new r290x is vary nice and smooth...

I use this card exclusively...
It it very OC'able
THE HEAT BLOWS OUT OF THE CASE...
Its available...

Dont buy cheap cards...XFX is cheap garbage

Generally the number of shaders is main OC indicater

Look on Newegg or Tiger Direct... they are called "Stream Processors" by the manufacturers

I have 2 XFX 290x and get a stable 1.75 MHash

Not bad for two cards.

why not 990 each like in https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison ?
that would give you 1.98MH/s

also can i achieve the 1.5Mh/s listed there for 7990 without watercooling?
