Ingame, I noticed the slow parts of the Black Death track ran a whopping 3 fps faster. No perceptible difference while actually playing. So my very limited experience so far is that it doesn't actually pay off. Maybe some more experienced overclockers will know better.

You wont get huge improvments just a few percent here and there. Video card OC is the lowest usually so its almost worthless, you just burn up your graphics chip sooner. With video you get best improvement by going up in gpu class.
