June 17th, 2010 Posted in Windows 7 Videos


Having a look at ATI’s most basic product featuring DirectX 11 support for Windows 7 & Windows Vista. The 5450 isn’t going to break any extreme gaming records, but what it will do is provide better than onboard performance, while not breaking the bank.

  7. Dulaman9082 Says:

    @BR177
    Since you are beginner like me you won’t notice any difference between a Fire GL and a gaming card. Im sure a 5770 will be fine for simple tasks as learning.



  11. BR177 Says:

    @Paskatomten Thank you very much for your advice… I do not play games and I want to learn 3d and card, so should I go for a firegl or a radeon 5770 will do for half the price? Or should I buy and entry level firegl? Because it is confusing, some say there is no difference between an entry level ws card and a good gaming card what do you think?



  12. Paskatomten Says:

    @BR177
    It works for CAD. But a Fire GL card would probably be 10 times faster.
    But if you are just a home user and not working with it on daily basis this card will do just fine.

    And if you are into 3D models in CAD you should get a Fire GL or a faster card like a Radeon 5770 with atleast 1gb memory.



  13. Paskatomten Says:

    @herhhh
    No. This card is not for gaming and to run GTA4 you need a decent card like the Radeon 5770 or higher and a quad core CPU.



  14. herhhh Says:

    @Routni Yeah , Sure.



  15. herhhh Says:

    @Paskatomten Why you can run GTA 4 with it then?



  16. Routni Says:

    @Paskatomten ok, thnx m8



  17. BR177 Says:

    Would it be a nice budget solution for autocad or should I really buy a firegl 3700 budget ws card ?



  18. Paskatomten Says:

    @Routni
    No. THis card is not for gaming. Its only good for things that requires little GPU power. Like working with graphics you get superb quality that beats older generations of graphics cards in terms of image quality but lacks the GPU power for gaming.



  19. Paskatomten Says:

    @Talanov98765
    Then why do you comment and say its shit and that is better to get a GTX 295?



  20. rick62008 Says:

    How does this card coops with HD videos rendering like 1080p ?



  21. Routni Says:

    can this play… 4 example …. GTA IV ? CODMW2 ?



  22. Talanov98765 Says:

    @Paskatomten i never had aTi graphics card… i always got nvidia and intel graphics cards : GM 915 64 mb, 6600 GT, now i got GT 230 1 gb directx 10 ddr3



  23. Paskatomten Says:

    @Talanov98765
    Actually the store price of GTX480 is 10% lower than HD5970 and the performance is 30% lower.
    And if you pay £300 for a GTX 480 on eBay you will most likely get a bag of bricks.

    your voice is annoying but I like the videos



  25. Talanov98765 Says:

    @Paskatomten HD 5970 cost now 550 £ !!! GTX 480 only 300 £ on ebay
