What is a safe/common overclock for a Geforce 560ti?

Hi guys, as above really. I've been out of the hardware game for a while.

For example with my GTX 460 the safe overclock everyone ran at the time was 800 core, 1600 shader and 4000mhz memory. I took this info, modified the BIOS to these values and flashed it back and it was my overclock ever since working perfectly.

I've now got a MSI 560ti OC on the way. The factory overclock MSI applies sets it to 880Mhz core and 4200Mhz memory which is up from the Nvidia's standard clock speeds of 822Mhz / 4000Mhz memory.
Should I leave as is or should I push up the clock a bit further, say 920Mhz/4300 Memory? I don't want to adjust voltages, just apply a safe overclock that I will not need to return to later because I set it too high.

Any suggestions people :cool:

Mine was Factory OCed at 900mhz. Not sure what the voltage for that was but I am sure someone wilth a 560TI will jump in here. Great card and still capable.
 
Well that's what I thought. I had the upgrade itch and managed to secure one for only £25 after selling my existing 460GTX. From what I've read the 560ti is about 30% faster which should keep me going a little longer until I make a whole new PC build :)

I gave mine to my Daughters boyfriend on a new 2500K build. I was happy with it on the latest games (BF3/Skyrim). Couldn't quite get to ultra settings on BF3 @ 1080P because of the 1GB VRAM limitation but I did have everything on full except MSAA.
 
Bit of reading suggests a safe overclock would be 920Mhz core, 1100Mhz (4400Mhz) memory. I think I'll set this as I'd always prefer it doesn't stress the card at all :)

Just keep an eye on temps (especially with the weather we are having). Should be good for that clock though.
