HIS Radeon HD 5450 Silence PCIe 1x/16x Review

To test power consumption today we are using a Keithley Integra unit and we measure power consumption from the VGA card inputs, not the system wide drain. The best way to get maximum load results is by using Furmark, and even though it is not indicative of a real world situation it shows the limits the card can theoretically demand. The ‘gaming’ results are measured when playing Crysis Warhead and is a more valuable result to take from this.

An incredible set of results, with the card taking 13 watts under Furmark load, this is actually less than many performance cards require at idle!

  1. Thats a great idea, it should help people out with even AGP systems! bit expensive, but im sure the manufacturing costs are higher. its put me in the mood now to build a media center with the cheaper version of the card

  2. Power consumption figures are staggering. its the GTX580 but the complete opposite !

  3. Nice little board, id probably opt for something with a little more guts though, like hte passive HD5670 from sapphire.

  4. Excellent, video support is always strong on these boards, ideal for a low powered media center

  5. I ordered the 42 quid version on OCUK for my media center was looking for something like this and the IQ is great.
