Is it just me, or do you guys not test for voltage scaling and overclocking anymore?

As a reader I'm finding that I'm less interested in video card overclocking.

The cards these days are so powerful that nudging the frequencies a few MHz makes very little difference to the end result in game. Also I don't have the time to be monitoring the temperature and flashing it and testing for stability like I used to.
