1279022 2012-06-03 06:58:00 Dude, get a GT 520 it's better than 5450, it's round about the same price and it is usually 1GB DDR3.

GT 520 Specs:

Core clock: 810 MHz (have overclocked mine to 1 GHz before)
Shader Clock : 1620 MHz
Effective Memory Clock: 1333 MHz

HD 5450 512 MB Specs:

Core Clock: 650 MHz
Effective Memory Clock: 800 Mhz

The 1GB version is slightly better than the 512 MB version with a Effective Memory Clock of 1600 MHz

I'd say get a GT520 because it is better than a 5450 and it's faster all round check this out: www.tomshardware.com

1279023 2012-06-03 08:48:00 I noticed that 5450 has GDDR3 compared to gt520 that has DDR3 wats the diference between the 2 also i have asked about 6450 jxer4567 (16665)
1279024 2012-06-03 09:19:00 the 6450 is apparently better than a 520 according to this chart www.tomshardware.com so I'd go with that. Still not much of a gaming card but at that price it'll be about as good as anything dugimodo (138)
1279025 2012-06-03 09:31:00 From the specs it don't look as good as the GT 520. There is no difference between GDDR3 and DDR3 the G just stands for graphics. So really it's the same unless you are talking about RAM. ChazTheGeek (16619)
1279026 2012-06-03 09:49:00 I'd go for the one with the bigger heatsink. Agent_24 (57)
1279027 2012-06-03 10:01:00 ok thanks for this now i spose its 6450 vs GT 520 i need to know more also i knw these are not great choices for gaming they are directed at HTPC but i need to find out which one will be the best bang for my buck cause i only have a SFF pc right now also i dont really understand how that chart worked jxer4567 (16665)

Personally off that I would go for the 6450. But that's one graph.

Seeing as the 6450 is $80 I'd try and find a 9800 GT instead. I saw them new on firstin for $72 about 3 months ago (maybe).

1279029 2012-06-03 10:51:00 Rhadeon 4550 is recomended for portal2 but that seems under powered. Slankydudl (16687)
1279030 2012-06-03 11:10:00 I can play portal at 15-20 fps it flatout ultimate carnage that plays at 7-15 fps thats the same for most car games nd fps action ndsimulators also no to the 9800 gt if you read i have a small form factor pc not a tower jxer4567 (16665)
