Is there anyone who is still overclocking their video cards though?

Is there anyone who is still overclocking their video cards though?

I would say most people do.

I think most do not!

Is there anyone who is still overclocking their video cards though?

Yes. A 5% increase with overclocking equals about 10% with frame generation, DLSS 3. Also, overclocking VRAM tends to smooth out frame variation. It's all very game dependent, but a mild 5 to 10 percent increase through overclocking can help in niche cases, especially when frame generation pretty much doubles that gain.

This clock bump is going to bring the performance so close to the RX 7900 XT, that it will cannibalize sales from it.

Nowadays I just buy the fastest card and don't bother to overclock. I can see how people with constrained budget might need to do so to eke out the last bit of performance from what they can afford, but after saving the galaxy from the Reapers I got rich selling them as scrap metal (to the victor go the spoils and all that) so I have cash to spare and don't have to worry about OC.
