Did some overclocking just for fun and informational testing and here are the benchmark results:
OS: Windows 10 64bit
Driver: 355.60
oclHashcat v1.37
Default settings for WPA = 31,400 hashes per second
Default settings for MD5 = 790,000 hashes per second
+135 Mhz GPU Clock Offset = 35,100 hashes per second for WPA (11.78% performance increase over stock)
+135 Mhz GPU Clock Offset = 881,000 hashes per second for MD5 (11.39% performance increase over stock)
Tool used: EVGA Precision X 16 software utility. Raising the Mem Clock Offset will actually hinder performance so it's left alone. Most of us know already that unless you have adequate cooling, overclocking a laptop GPU is NOT recommended!
To put this into perspective, if it normally takes your word list 1 hour to complete, then:
10% increase = 6 minutes faster (54 minutes)
11% increase = 6.6 minutes faster
12% increase = 7.2 minutes faster
For 10 hours, a 12% increase in performance is about 1.5 hours shaved off of your time.
