AMD’s Radeon HD 5450: The Next Step In HTPC Video Cards

The Test
Due to our improperly clocked reference Radeon HD 5450, all of our performance benchmarks for the 5450 have been taken with our Sapphire 5450 card. As the board is identical to the reference card other than for using the appropriate clock speeds, the results in turn should be identical to a properly clocked reference sample.
We’d also like to thank MSI for sending along one of their GeForce 210 cards, the N210 MD512H. It arrived too late to review it before this article, but we are using it for our GeForce 210 numbers since NVIDIA does not provide reference cards for that series. You’ll see a review of that card in the next day or so.
For the Radeon HD 5450 launch, AMD once again provided new drivers that enable support for it. They’re version 8.69RC3, the same series as the drivers for the 5670 launch.

is proof editing also a work in progress? in a hurry to get the article posted or what!sc3252 - Thursday, February 4, 2010 - link
Is this a test to see if people will read articles without pictures, because I think I failed... Maybe next time just pull the article until pictures/charts are ready.bonsai57 - Saturday, August 7, 2010 - link
The article states: The Next Step In HTPC Video Cards.(Home Theatre Personal Computer Video Cards??)
Am I right in this assumption?
If so, then why are the benchmarks more orientated towards gaming??
Obviously this is no gaming card.
Please give a true outlook as to how this card performs connected to a TV.
Is it OK? Is it Junk?
My intent for this card would be a connection with a plasma display or perhaps LCD.
Streaming video through the intenet such as Netflix or Hulu would be one concern.
Playback through a Blu Ray Player on PC another.
Perhaps my perception of this card and the subsequent review are irrelevant.
Please don't game a card that's meant for something entirely different.
Perhaps I have miscontrued the intent of this article, if so I appologize.

According to PC Wizard 2012 ATI HD 5450 Has 1 GPU & 2 Cores. does it mean HD 5450 has 2 Graphic Processors?ngwvuvpuqzri - Saturday, August 22, 2020 - link
