6800nu overclocking

[CU]

I just got a BFG 6800nu and looked at overclocking it this past weekend. I used rivatuner to overclock it and test it. The test button said it would not work on anything higher than 390/770. I actually didn't leave it overclocked any, but I was wondering if rivatuner's test is really telling me the a max or is it being safe. I have never used an auto overclocking tool or anything that would test your card to find the max overclock. Also is this around what most people get with a 6800nu?

My eVGA hit 380/850 without batting an eye using Coolbits test, but I didn't push it and run it at stock clock. It seems plenty fast enough in the rig I have it in, and I'll just step it up if I need a faster card in the next 5 weeks or so instead of overclocking the piss out of it.
