Is there any real benefit to setting your overclocked speeds in the BIOS using something like NiBiTor and re-flashing it as opposed to just using something like ATITool? I figure the 700MHz is 700Mhz, regardless of which way it is set, but I was having a conversation with somebody else about it and he said it's "much more stable because you take the software part out." He also said you're likely to get a higher overclock doing it by the BIOS, even going as far to say 5% increase (which would be a 35Mhz increase on my 7900GS)

Any insight on this? Is there at least any benefit in using NiBiTor as opposed to overclocking via software, even if it doesn't get you a higher oc?
 
If something goes wrong it's a lot easier to fix it by going into safe mode
then re-flashing your bios.
