AMD HD6450 Review

Set in the mythical world of Thedas, Dragon Age II tells the story of Hawke, who fled the nation of Ferelden during the events of Dragon Age: Origins and arrived in the neighboring state of Kirkwall as a refugee. Within the span of a decade, Hawke would rise in power and influence to become the legendary “Champion of Kirkwall”, and the center of events that change the course of Thedas forever. The game focuses on Hawke’s rise to power and is framed through flashbacks by one of Hawke’s old companions, Varric, who relates the Champion’s ‘true story’ to Cassandra Pentaghast, a Seeker of Thedas’ religious Chantry.

We are testing at 720p resolution with medium/high settings and no Anti aliasing.

At these settings the frame rates were very good, dropping only a few times close to the danger zone at 25 fps. Overall it was perfectly playable.

  1. Seems like a very decent card for the money. Not my cup of tea, but for media duties, very nice indeed.

  2. If they clock this to 625mhz it will not relate to these scores unfortunateyl, thats a significant core clock drop.

  3. Not a very exciting product, but the fact you can game on more than one screen, even if the IQ would be rubbish is a very cool idea. Great idea for a second system but I cant see this being used as a gaming card, more for media.

    In that area it does very well indeed.

  4. Sales in this market are much larger than the high end but there is very little money to be made here by AMD or their partners, maybe $10 a card profit.

    This is a nice update, but passive would be more appealing to me than a fan.

  5. The HD6450 seems like a nice HTPC card, if not a tad expensive.

    Also, it’s nice to see a tech review site that actually makes an effort to make sure that their graphs are clear to read, so people can actually quickly make sense of the data (the whole point in a graph). Keep up the good work.
