    No, only one program at a time for voltage. Up the voltage slowly in TRIXX, try 1.2v. Up the Power Control in AMD Vision Engine to +20%. Keep an eye on the temps under load.

    You may also want to try backing the memory down a little bit, it may help stability with a higher clock speed (then again, it may not). Clock speed is what is going to have a pronounced affect on your fps, memory speed not so much.

    Personally, I would keep the 908/1350 @ 1.175v. The gains aren't worth the headache from here.

    Yea I've already notice huge differences when I use Alt+Tab in Starcraft it switches instantly. The artifacting wouldn't have damaged my graphics card right?

    If you had done damage, you would be seeing it already. All is good.
