Radeon HD 5450 from MSI and PowerColor

Manufacturers issue their new chip-based cards in a row.

The Radeon HD 5450 can clearly be a card for layers with a thinner wallet on the DirectX 11 line. Depending on the manufacturer, DDR2 or DDR3 memory may be included. All of the products now presented have been passively cooled, which reveals low heat production.

The field of application of the HD 5450 can of course be diverse, in our opinion they can be a great basis for multimedia PCs on the VGA front, as their knowledge and strength make them suitable for playing HD content, and HDMI output can even connect them to modern flat-screen TVs or home theater systems. . The use of this direction is also facilitated by the low profile design, thanks to which they can also be suitable for construction in a low computer case.

In its announcement, PowerColor also points out that its card can get by with quite a bit of energy, so they are trying to ride the currently fashionable "green" wave. We recommend that you do not buy the HD 5450 because of its green nature, but rather focus on other advantages, such as low noise (noiseless due to passive cooling), AVIVO HD and UVD 2.0 support, HDMI, Blu-ray support and Eyefinity technology.
