Not sure if this is good, or just avg for an overclock

I have a BFG 7800gs oc agp, wich is overclocked outta the box already, but I decided to give some more overclocking a whirl and so far this is my highest stable clock. Stock outta the box is 400/1250, so I tried many settings and came to my final, or what I thought was my final of 480/1450, and everything in fear, oblivion etc.. was stable without issues. I decided to mess around somore cause I was bored, and this is what I am at now and stopped at 470/1500. I had to down the core some about 10mhz more, because doom3 was artifacting a bit, I really get annoyed at the slightest artifact or glith, so I tend to notice it fast, anyways, I thought ok fine, if that's the case why not up the mem and see what happens, well I upped it as far as it would go, wich is 1500, 50mhz more than my initiial setting, so all in all I dropped the core 10mhz, but gained 50mhz on the mem. It seems like it'll go even further but I can't since that's max.
My temps in case your wondering are 52celc idle, and max, at most 70celc full load, I have never seen it go above 70 at all with any game or 3dmark.

well depends, if you gained only around 1-5 fps, the it is a simple to maybe modest OC. If you gain maybe around 10-15 fps, then it is a good or maybe really good OC. if it's anything higher than 20fps, then it's absolutely good. Though this depends on the game. If 3dmark score increased by around 3k points, then it's a really good OC. gaining maybe 5000 something is insane.
