There's around a 12% improvement in performance at 1600x1200 from overclocking the GV-R9700Pro; the ATI-made Radeon 9700 Pro got a 9% boost at the same resolution.

Overclocking obviously only benefits in situations that aren't clearly CPU bound, which means that at 1024x768 the lack of any improvement isn't too surprising. At 1600x1200 we can see a bit of performance separation, with the overclocked Gigabyte card getting an 11% boost from our efforts; not bad for a chip that's already the fastest out there.
