G400 Max and Overclocking

[banshee11]

Just got my G400 Max today and I must say this card rocks, way better than my Voodoo3.
Anyway I would like to know how far you G400 Max users can overclock your cards. I have mine at 166MHz core/220MHz memory.

Using MGATweak, I set the PLL for 432, with the dividers set for 2.5/2/2.5

This gave me a 173/216 setting. Board runs fine for hours at this level.

Didn't keep it there though, as not much benefit:
3d mark scores at 1024x7632bit color, p3-450@558:
3dmark: 4760/5022
game1 fps: 47.2/50.9
game2 fps: 48.1/49.6
fill rate: 183.7/200.8
fill rate multi text: 199.7/220.6
2mb texture renduring: 212.6/232.2
32mb texture renduring: 54.6/56.8

3d mark scores at 800x600 16bit color, p3-450@558:
3dmark: 5622/5623 (vsync is on)
fill rate: 247.9/278.7
fill rate multi text: 247.9/278/7
2mb texture renduring: 363.9/386.9
32mb texture renduring: 100.0/103.9

I also just got my g400max about 2 weeks ago. I replaced a v3-3000. I wish the price dropped on these, as I can get a tnt2ultra for $160. The matrox store was a little steep at $250 for this card, especially with the geforce out now.
