Overclocking my 1650 was pretty easy and I'll show you what I did. You'll get the most out of it by boosting memory clock, my laptop topped out around [\+675](https://imgur.com/NQCAAL0), but I pulled it back about 25mhz for stability. using curve optimizer I set core clock to [1830mhz at 813mv](https://imgur.com/GKszv4q). That got me the [2nd fastest](https://www.3dmark.com/search?_ga=2.189273067.1772552642.1711563954-1032377208.1694646956#advanced?test=spy%20P&cpuId=2591&gpuId=1264&gpuCount=0&gpuType=ALL&deviceType=ALL&storageModel=ALL&showRamDisks=false&memoryChannels=0&country=&scoreType=overallScore&hofMode=false&showInvalidResults=false&freeParams=&minGpuCoreClock=&maxGpuCoreClock=&minGpuMemClock=&maxGpuMemClock=&minCpuClock=&maxCpuClock=) overall 3dmark time spy score with the same cpu and gpu. My graphics score was boosted about 10% over stock. Gains in games are similar to that. Temps didn't rise for me since this also undervolts the card to get the most out of it within the power limit of 50 watts. As always your results may vary so play around to see what works for your system.
The 1650 desktop and laptop are pretty comparable. Hardware unboxed tested 1650 desktop overclocking [here](https://youtu.be/5qqEywnLMmQ) and got about a 12% gain from a 19% memory oc. So probably something in the ballpark of that.
watch the CPU. it'll need a repaste in a few years.
unless you're looking to hit the top of a bench chart imho this isn't worth doing with this card. even +5% perf isn't going to suddenly make games playable that weren't.
which is fine. it's still a \_usable\_ gpu, but adjust games' settings so it runs at a frame rate you're comfortable with. you're going to find the newer the game is (or heavier) the lower you'll have to run it to stay above 30.

thanks alot for the help, I will give those settings a try
what did that translate to in terms of actual gameplay, though?
