-- 100% MF ---------------- 100 ----------- 100 ------------ 100 ---------- 100
-- 150% MF ---------------- 150 ----------- 146 ------------ 145 ---------- 141
-- 200% MF ---------------- 200 ----------- 185 ------------ 183 ---------- 171
-- 250% MF ---------------- 250 ----------- 220 ------------ 215 ---------- 193

*For example, if you have 400% MF, the chances of you finding a unique item are 236 out of 1223 (19.3% chance to be unique).
*The chances of you finding a unique, even with the "perfect MF %", are still totaly random and based upon a roll of a dice.
*In Diablo 2, MF only effects item quality, not quantity of items dropped.

*After about 350 to 400% magic find, there is a dramatic drop in the ratio of magic find to the % chance of finding unique items.
For example, adding 100% more magic find, and moving from 300% to 400% MF only grants you a 24% better chance of finding unique items!
Magical items drop quite a bit more with higher MF rates, however, you will find that unique item finds drop off drastically with more & more magic find.
Perhaps a better illustration can be made: to get from 193% to find unique items (250% MF) to 312% to find unique items (1500% MF) you have to add over 1100% Magic Find!

*Also, the % chance for a unique item to drop is not increased with more players in a game;
it is only based on the MF% of the last player to hit any given boss (see the chart above for drop rates of item types based on your MF%).
One should also consider that if it takes you longer to kill the boss in a large game; there's no real advantage to MFing in a full 8 player game.
And since you will kill the bosses slower, you will probably end up finding less.
