Sapphire HD 6450 Flex LP 1GB AMD Radeon Graphics Card Video Review

[14BSP]

@simpa975 Get an entire new PC.

[skitzmix100]

can it play games at high or mid

[ACHi11iES]

@skitzmix100

I have this video card, and it's actually pretty shit. You can't really run the newer games very well (Saints Row: The Third, GTA IV, Battlefield 3, MW3, etc). Even on the lowest screen resolution, you'll still get a few drops in FPS.

[skitzmix100]

could this card run the new games on high plz reply

[trocoman]

Its cool that you review low profile stuff too. Elric only reviews the big and expensive ones.

[14BSP]

@Gamerz2018 No, get something with alot more power such as a HD6950. This is not for gaming, especially not for BF3.

[MsElectronicArts]

@14BSP oh, well i got a new channel /mrgamerz2018 dont know if u wanna come look but. also got a new pc (laptop game) with a GTX 560 1.5GB DDR5 so yeah this is good :P

[TheFuggedaboutit]

Attention all who play battlefield 3. This card can run bf3 at low-medium settings. I recommend no anti aliasing for better performance.

[CrazyTechTime]

I have a 32" and an 23" monitor the 32 can do 720 and the 23 at 1080 and I wanna run them both at 720 and everything else on high on mw3 and bf3 which card should I get

[14BSP]

@CrazyTechTime You want to run both those screens on one pc? For gaming? LOL

[DEKARONGAMER97]

I think Im going to stick to my GTX560ti

[Blackcandlez]

Hey PcWizKid, may I ask you whether the bandwidth or the amount of RAM in a graphic card is important? Anyone can answer this pls? Appreciate it!

[TERRENCJJR]

Can you tell me more about the pci powered aspect of the card? How does it affect the cards performance vs connecting to the power supply and how it may affect the overall system performance. It draws power from the mobo so will it stifle my CPU overclocking abilities etc? Might pair it with an APU with minor overclock but might use it Alone with an Fx 4100 where I would really like to bump up CPU speed. Thanks.

[cptAlexi]

hey why dont you show us your system ?

[Lintu1995]

hd 6570 runs gta 4 perfect! *_*

[furkanovich]

@Lintu1995 My GTX 560 too but its expensive :D

[Lintu1995]

@furkanovich oh yeah.. ;D

[brnfnk]

@Lintu1995 gta 4 is a port that relies on cpu power, and doesn't really use the graphics card so it doesn't show how good a video card is.

[Lintu1995]

@brnfnk but it cant run without any graphic cards... ;)

[DrMohanadHouse]

Will I think this is a very late review the 7970 is out

[kylepolansky]

It wouldn't really apply to this card, but I would be interested in some Eyefinity benchmarks on future graphics cards, it possible. 

[MN12BIRD]

Hrm a low end Flex edition card is nice for someone who isn't gaming and needs 3 monitors. Those active DP adapters are stupid expensive so 3 monitors right off one card stock is nice.

[BinaryLinux]

Soooo, the 7000 series is out...

[Twinturbo120]

@BinaryLinux 7 series is re branded 6 series.

[CookiesAndGaming]

@Twinturbo120 LoL, It gets 100 fps ultra (BF3). I have a 6770 and it's great but 7000 series is not a rebranded 6.

[Twinturbo120]

@CookiesAndGaming Lol look it up dude, no need to explain myself. Quick examples, take the 8800GT and the 9800GT. Literally the same crap! I know its Nvidia but still...

[BinaryLinux]

@Twinturbo120 Actually they are different; the 6000 series has a 6 in front and the 7000 series has a 7 in front.

[Twinturbo120]

@BinaryLinux Whatever...keep being ignorant.

[CookiesAndGaming]

@Twinturbo120 Erm, It has different features and stuff.

[mcwiggles1213]

Perhaps you can help me. My friend is looking for a gpu for under $80. His current setup is as follows. (Sorry, i dont know the MB.)

12gb DDR3 RAM

AMD Phenom II X3 445 (?)

Single screen 720p

current gpu is ATI Radeon hd 4650 (1gb GDDR2 RAM.)

The case is not an issue - it is a monstrous one. cooling is also not an issue -- its like a refrigerator.

He uses it mostly for hd video playback, HEAVY minecraft (for long periods of time) and the occasional marathon of Crysis 2 on high.

Any suggestions?

[mcwiggles1213]

@mcwiggles1213 how stupid of me to forget -- he is running this all from a 250w PSU.

[ASAWProductions]

@mcwiggles1213 nothin that will suit the current build will be $80. Nvidia's gts 440 runs about $80, although I have seen as low as $60 on sale. It will be more than plenty for MC, but for Crysis 2, you will need some more beef than an $80 card. My 440 runs nice and cool, works great for 1080 video rendering, and Full HD gaming on older games or reduced settings

[bozzytv]

Nice thanks.

[coijoi]

nice♥

[flamemon11]

hi i have a quick question do u have a video on how to make an home theater pc. like what are good parts to get?

[MrDragonknight94]

looks ok for alow profile card..

[Rejy11]

Hey nice video, would it be possible to do the same with a i5-2500k on a Gigabyte UD3P-B3 (does not have any type of visual port like HDMi on the board) with an EVGA Gt 430 in SLI or something? Please anyone answer to my comment, would be much appreciated :)

[Rejy11]

@Rejy11 also it is a Z68 board

[TheGenesisfreak]

PcWizKid, This video Literally couldn't come at a more perfect time as i am building a budget gaming computer and i was conflicted over buying a similar Gigabyte Radeon HD6450 card to play basically only Cod mw3 or if the mobo I'm going to buy had a good enough Graphics card

[MajorLuck777]

Hey PcWiz, I have a new XFX Radeon HD 6750 graphics card that I bought recently. Is the one in the video better than the one I have?

(So far, my graphics card is great. I can run almost all my games on highest settings.)

[Walkthroughs14]

@MajorLuck777 hahaha no

[mitzibishi]

@MajorLuck777 no. look at the numbers. 64 v 67. which is higher?

[MinorBluesTreble]

Well... its not low profile if it takes up 2 slots.... dumb

[Microcip83]

Hey PcWiz I rather have a two slot heatsink that an undersized one with a loud fan or no fan and short term overheat issues especially in low profile cases...

Nice review, would have liked to see more games benchmarked in crossfire ;)

[PCWizKid]

@Microcip83 yes , for certain use/cases a larger heatsink is best, your right. The reason I didnt do more games benchmarks, because for Crysis 2 and Lost Planet 2, I only got 15 fps, so its not really for 3d high settings gaming.

[txmoney]

@Microcip83 Agreed! My experience with low profile graphic cards is not good. They tend to have a short life span. They conisistently fail between 6-8 months.

[diegodaudt]

Why is it so small?!?! These kind of cards are supposed to have huge fans and PCI E 6 pin connectors?

[MrDubstepWorld]

huh, forget this baby card, where's the 7970

[solarlightning]

@MrDubstepWorld not every one has 550 to spend on a graphics card im using a 6970 and it plays everything on max settings

[mitzibishi]

2 slots is a no go, my under TV PC mobo dont have 2 slots, no space. have ATi dropped the ball with this 2 slots thing

[nintendowiids12]

@mitzibishi AMD didn't to do with anything. It's Sapphire's flaw. The HIS 6450 1GB is single slot. Alas, it is also $39.99 at Amazon.

[mitzibishi]

@nintendowiids12 yeh what is with that 2 slots thing? they must be aiming for smaller desktops. not many sales from people who buy DELL small desktops, not really upgraders are they. and not many sales from people like me who dont have 2 slots or the space to spare in a Media centre PC. ill just have to keep looking for a 2nd hand low prof. edition 5670 on ebay. ive done some research and that card seems to be the best performance low prof. card around

[tonyd223]

Perfect htpc card has 2 hdmi

[mitzibishi]

is it as good as a 5670 low prof? need a half decent gfx card for my under the TV PC. i think at the mo 5670 is the best low prof out there

[matawin2]

screw the 7970 i want this beast

[z0rrac]

it looks like my soundcard... lmao

[skylinmegas9290]

you can get a better gpu for the same price

[kevinsmammaxd]

perfect htpc card

[enforce007]

you seriously review a last gen card in 2012? i understand the concept of low end reviews, but your timing is kinda funny :)

[moasto02]

@enforce007 are you serious? the first 7000 series cards literally came out today. get your head out of your ass.

[bazzo1992]

@moasto02 Yep and plenty other reviewers have them for review, get your head out your ass.

[moasto02]

@bazzo1992 your a real jackass buddy. if the cards are being released today you cant expect every reviewer to have a review for them. wizkid doesn't have to suck enthusiast dicks

[mitzibishi]

@moasto02 yeh your right, mid range, low end performance/price reviews are good to. plus the big shift in more people getting Media centre PCs. ive got a Gmaing PC and a media centre. got rid of my cable/Sky TV package and just watch all my stuff off the internet, i dont even watch normal TV anymore. and stick a half decent GFX card in there and i can flip to a games session that looks better than consoles

[bazzo1992]

@moasto02 Who said anything about sucking enthusiast dicks? You implied because they came out today that's why there was no review of the 7970, I was simply pointing out there was.

[iCorx]

What's the intro music please ?

[situsrc]

Where low profile actually is used?

[AmH032uTuBe]

@situsrc Highly cramped HTPCs or small cases, such as many computers that are used in schools and other educational facilities.

[Henri2902]

noobs
