hi everybody...

Can HD 5450 handle 3d application like maya,mudbox &zbrush ?
i recently built my new system . my specs are

- Asus M5A78L-M USB3 AMD 760G AM3+
- AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1100T Black Edition 3.30GHz
- Kingston HyperX 8 GB (2x4 GB Modules) 1600 MHz DDR3
- Corsair CX600 Builder Series / 600W / ATX / PSU / Power Supply Unit
- Seagate Barracuda 3.5" 7200.12 1TB

i need suggestion on which graphic card to buy . i cant spend much . my budget is 40£ or less . i know its too low
but i am a student i cant spend much on my learning stage . may be i will upgrade to professional card later. for time being i need a one which can run maya and mudbox.
Thank you...

Your specs are pretty good, how come you're cutting on the graphic card so much?

I don't know about Maya and Mudbox, but HD 5450 is not very good for gaming. I mean, it will be able to run modern games, but not on high settings.

If I were you, I'd go with at least HD 6670 which is $80 on NewEgg. That should be around £50 if I'm not mistaken. Slightly out of your budget, but probably worth it.

you already bought all the stuff, oh well, start saving, no point wasting money on the 5450 its not really much better than onboard graphics.
