New Update

The ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics is the lowest on the 5000

series of cards from ATI lineup and boasts of the ATI Eyefinity technology. With

this technology the user can connect up to 3 three monitors and merge them as

one big screen. The specialty of this card is that it consumes less than 20W of

power under full load and is ideal for HTPCs. It is surprisingly small and is

cooled by a small, quiet fan . The card stayed at a temperature of 40 degrees on

idle and went up to a maximum at 60 degrees on loads. You get three output ports

at the back: VGA, DVI and HDMI.The one we received came with 1GB GDDR5 dedicated

memory that is enough to handle HD content easily. We ran our standard

benchmarks on the card for performance evaluation. It was tested with an AMD

Phenom II 955 processor on a MSI 790FX GD70 motherboard with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM

running Windows 7 Ultimate. It scored 3322 on 3DMark06, 1155 on 3D Mark Vantage

with 968 as the GPU Score. In PCMark 05, the card scored 4243 marks in graphics.

For games we ran Far Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 4 on which we had an average frame

rate of 12.37 and 25.09 respectively with 1280 x 1024 resolution & ultra high

settings.

graphics card. Although you can play full HD files comfortably.
