CGMINER usually does need much setup. Just add -I 9 to the end of basic pool information, and that is usually enough to get the highest hashrate (assuming you already overclocked your card)
As for myself, my 6870 is at 290MH/s with only a slight factory overclock (bascially no overclocking at all) on CGMINER.
Try Diablo Miner you should squeeze 300 or so out of that card
