    Will I see a significant difference in performance/quality of textures etc via overclocking the following:

    Core: from 950 to 1000mhz
    Shader: 1940 to 1980mhz
    Mem Clock: 2100 to 2140/50mhz

    Im pretty close to these values so far without even touching voltage, idle GPU temps are 29-32c

    No, the difference on screen would be negligible, a few frames per second if that.

    no core difference of 50 MHz will make no more then a 1-3 fps difference nothing more. (if that)

    Core is currently 980 and got P19004 in 3dmark basic test, not sure if thats any good or not.

    Similar to me, though ive not clocked the GPU up yet, or flashed it from a 6950 to 6970

    http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3794854 ---> P18280 with lower clock speeds on the CPU and a different GPU

    Score with your just going to be chasing number so long as its smooth in game i personally would not worry

    In benchmarks yes, actual gaming, not really. Also, idle temps mean very little, in game stress temps mean a lot more.
    For reference, my GTX460 1GB clocked at 910MHz core scores ~18,000 GPU score on 3Dmark Vantage's standard performance run. Little point comparing the full score, since the CPU counts as well.
