A new book will celebrate graphics card box art.
On May 31th, Lock Books will release Overclocked: An Archive of Graphics Card Box Art, designed to take you back when “manufacturers fought for dominance with the most amped-up packaging imaginable.” (We remember it well.) The $27 book features over 300 different boxes and 50 classic ads, all curated after “hours of searching through dead Google links, eBay listings and defunct forums.”
It’s not authorized; rather, co-creator Mike McCabe tells us the book is “limited, transformative, and intended to preserve a visual history that would otherwise be lost.”
