Well I thought I'd give this a go last night. Previously I have only ever OC'd my 7800GT which was a very simple matter using the coolbit reg entry that came on the disk.

Here are the cards standard specs: 650 GPU, 1320 RAM.

So first I tried a setting in the Nvidia control panel that auto detected optimal speeds and it gave me: 660 GPU and 1420 RAM.

This didn't seem like much of an increase, so I then used Riva Tuner..... this programme reckons its safe to run at: 733 GPU and 1458 RAM.

Does this seem about right? Sounds to me like a massive OC on the GPU and not much on the RAM....

Anyone any experience with this card?

Thanks for any help.

Yeah it seems alright, on stock cooling you can normally get 10-15% overclock. 733 is safe, if it doesn't artifact in games just play around with it i wouldn't go over 750 though. Just check the GPU temperature in the driver program.
