Force3D AMD ATI radeon HD 6450 2Gb DDR3 HDMI DVI VGA video graphics card PCI express pcie x16 HD 1080P windows 7/vista/XP

I bought this card on a TIGHT budget. My old Radieon x1650 series card is close to giving up the good ghost of existence, and I wanted something to be prepared for that day. The x series ati's are pretty good, but because I'm a hardcore gamer I hope this will at least let me get up to medium settings on my games. I run a ASUS P5b board, with an intel dual core 2.13ghz processor on 6 gigs of ram and I want to say 450wat power supply, but I'm unable to open the case right now to see. I could be on a 350, but that is beside the point. This was a pretty decent looking PCI card for a reasonable price I will update this review as soon as I get the card in. Here's to hoping. and I know this is a bit shorter than my regular reviews, I hope to be of insight once this comes in. Good Luck Gamers and tweakers.EDIT:: Well I got the card in, finally. Fedex was supposed to deliver it a day ago but they just dumped it at the PO, which annoyed me, but either way. All of my bench-markers and over clockers say this thing only has 208mb ram which is a bit shy of 2048mb if you ask me, but maybe I didn't turn something on in the card or something, I do notice a huge difference in color displays compared to my 1650, my desktop looks amazing, but so far the games I've tried are still lacking full ability, windows 7 aero rated this as 4.3 card and my other one was 4.5 but te windows 7 gaming display rates it at 6.0 and my other one was like 5 or 4.5 give or take, so I'm still in between on weather this was a good purchase, but on a budget it's nice

Honestly after seeing some reviews saying it's horrible or really slow or other stuff I started getting worried thinking I made a bad purchase but when I installed it I saw it was really fast and powerfull for gaming!! I don't see why everyone was saying they were getting 4.1 on the ratings if I was getting a 5.9!! I'm pretty sure the other people made a error somewhere and thats what's making there GPU so slow. Anyways first day with it and I am really impressed! To test it out I played Minecraft on the highest possible settings Fancy & Far with a 32 x 32 Texture pack and was averaging about 50 - 60 FPS on this! And I only have one graphics card if I had 2 of them I might have had even more! anyways This is a good buy for a low budget build i completely recommend it! :)EDIT: 1.19.13I recently downloaded steam and got Alice Madness Returns using this graphics card and I am impressed!!Alice Madness Returns is a really graphic heavy game because there is so much detail! I am playing at almost max settings and it runs with just a small amount of lag!On this game I can only reach a screen resolution of about 1200x700. Anything higher causes serious lag on this game only. Some of my older games I can play at 1080p and have it run really smooth but they aren't as heavy detailed as Alice.I admit it isn't the best graphics card in the world but to be honest no other card can compare to this one that can perform so well and only cost around $50!!! Seriously though if you want to get good performance for a cheap price I completely recommend this!!!

I had purchased this graphics card mainly because I am a graphic design student and running the more advanced design effects of the software would not work with the AMD Radeon integrated graphics on my accelerated CPU. So when I saw this and for the price I ordered. For the price I did not expect much but I found I could use the 3D design software flawlessly without having the computer freeze up and crash. This was great. I also enjoy gaming on a computer for certain games for mods and such that I can not get on a PS3 or now the PS4 and find the graphics have really enhanced the look of my games I do prefer on a computer. Yes there are some issues when too many things are running at once but for the price I can not complain as it does its job as described. I would recommend this product without any doubt if you are running design software as Adobe CS6, but if you are a gamer who doesn't have too much cash to spend on a graphics card this is a great one for that. But if you are a gamer who wants to have everything set the max of visuals that look seamless with no lag at a high res, high texture this may not be what you are looking for.

This baby does exactly what I need it to do: power two TV displays. My primary monitor is a Samsung TV, and a 40" Phillips in the living room 25 feet away. The on-line streaming stuff is now really worth it, way better than cable. Installation, up to a point, is very easy. But instructions are very inadequate for fine tuning. For example, my two displays are not within sight of each other. One of them had on-screen control functions and the other one not (default setup). Naturally, the 'control' one was not in the same room as the mouse. It took me two weeks (I'm so ashamed) to discover that if you right-click the mouse, it gives you access to the dialogues that allow you to select display configurations. I do read manuals, use help files, go to websites for info, but in this case, not a clue till I blundered into the answer. The cooling fan is pretty noisy,kind of a harmonic thing.

Well, i bought this for a temporary fix, cuz my old card was Out dated an the fan stopped working. But it still ran. So i was forced to buy this with the mixed reviews, my personal expeirence with it an with the price it works very well.. ill post later on how it stacks up to gta4 but it can run farcry 2 n sniperghost warrior, call of duty 2 on max settings, with a few lag not so noticable, but now to the card features, the dvi on it i did not try cuz im running my flatscreen with it using the HDMI spot on the card, vga wasnt able to use cuz who packaged it did a poor job, it was broken off, oh well the hdmi works very well with it, n the audio works well to thru the hdmi, that saved me from buying computer speakers. Im running windows 7 64Bit, the score from this card is, graphics - 4.3 gaming graphics 5.9, scratches head there.. but otha that that this card runs very well. Recommended if your lookin for a quick n decent fix.
