Depends on just how much that extra 1 fps average gain in most games is significant...

(It'd likely be hard for most folks to come up with many scenarios where the meager gains would merit the investment)

I can actually think up a lot of scenarios, just none of them realistic. For example, a home invasion by a serial killer whose psychosexual fetish is tying up and suffocating people who have CPUs that do not use hyperthreading.
