Eric,

I think it depends on the program and its applicant pool. Unfortunately, the GRE isn’t viewed equally by all programs…even in the same field! You do start to get somewhat dimished returns in the 99th percentile in verbal (which is…oh…like from 500 and up). But since the percentiles on quant are so low, nothing less than 800 is even CLOSE to seeing diminished returns.

Obviously, however, try to score your highest. High scores on the GRE sometimes equal extra money.
