Is overclocking worth it?

It would barely run on my lappy (P-M 1.7) - it was getting about 2-3 FPS.

After overclocking to 2.13 (+25%) it runs perfectly.

That's what it's all about

Hes on a laptop, so I REALLY doubt that he is running a 6800 Series GPU which is the ones that Nvidia supposedly "screwed us" on
