Anandtech takes a look at the AMD Radeon HD 6450

No comments · Posted by James Thorburn in Hardware

Integrated graphics solutions have made some strong gains in performance lately, closing the gap to the Radeon HD 5450 both in terms of gaming performance and media features.

To attempt to redress the balance AMD have launched the Radeon HD 6450, featuring the new Caico GPU and more than doubling up the memory bandwidth and shader performance compared to the older card. For the first time AMD’s entry-level card also has the full UVD3 video decode engine for post-processing effects and 3D, as well as DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4a support.

So is this the perfect HTPC card? You can read the full review over at Anandtech….

techPowerUp take on the HIS Radeon HD 5450

No comments · Posted by James Thorburn in General

techPowerUp have taken a look at the HIS Radeon HD 5450, younger brother to the Radeon HD 5570 we reviewed recently.

While the 5450 may be lacking in gaming performance in some cases less is more.

“Power consumption is about as low as it can get. Not much to say here, other than that it’s amazing and shows how much AMD’s GPU design team has done to achieve low power. HIS has done their part with the PCB design, too, which seems to be highly efficient as well.”
