We explore the forgotten potential of the GTX 650 with a subtle overclock with a mix of both new and classic game titles.
———
This video is a bit of a Spiritual successor to my “Overclocking the 5450” video made many years ago. The intro gives a bit of a nod to that video.
This video is a bit of a humorous story really in the sense that WilleWD and I thought it would be fun to try pump out a fast video giving a nod to the 5450 one. To challenge ourselves to see how fast we can make a video.
However I went down a rabbit hole of making graphics, buying a smoke machine to get cool shots and wanting to
get proper game capture footage.
Almost 2 weeks later, here we are. I hope it will make for an enjoyable watch.
Special thanks to WilleWD and his sister for their production assistance.
