    Almost forgot why I picked the question icon.

    Which overclocker are you guys using for your Max and how much is safe enough?

    After all, the Max does have that nice little fan on it. I suppose it is just asking for a little overclocking.

    It would be nice to get 960x720 to a playable level on the Max at least.. Anything over 40 fps should be fine. (By the way, I used that useful little Pd5ResMgr to add the 960x720 resolution.)

    Also, I forgot mentioning that too: the Q3A scores are timedemos of Demo001.
