Nope, I'd agree - not worth the risk. Overclocking the 6950, if you really feel you need to, would result in a similar performance gain without the risk. But the difference in actual gaming performance is relatively minor, despite what a benchmark might suggest. The cost of a 6950 here is similar, and very good value for what you get.
