If you read my comment again, I wasn't saying that overclockers no longer exist. They don't exist in the droves that they used to - computers are fast
enough now for
most gamers to have acceptably fluid FPS.
Those gamers that demand 1080p@60Hz under load are a niche, not the standard for 'pc gamers'. And for those who demand it, shelling out a few extra dollars for hardware that exists (previously it didn't) is much easier than messing around with hardware voltages and crossing your fingers that your gpu is one of the lucky ones.
And frankly, the idea that gamers will flock en masse to linux for a few FPS is utterly absurd.
