XFX Radeon HD 6450 HD645XCNHV Video Card - 2GB review?

[MikeTheCISGuy]

Does anyone have this graphics card? I picked it up off TigerDirect but I havent been able to use because my build is not ready to completed yet. If you could give a review it would be much appreciated. Heres the link for it http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3488646

Im looking to run the game DayZ. Do you think it will be that terrible?

It'll run it but at low settings.

Will run it run it without lag?

To increase your knowledge, For 20 bucks more you can get the HD7750 or the HD6670 DDR5 which will give you more than twice the performance of the HD6450, HD6450 is not a gaming card, its only meant for HD Videos

Even at low settings if there is alot of action/other players it will probably lag. The 6450 is not gaming card its more of an HTPC/office card.

This istem is a lot better if you can afford it. Almost twice the performance of the HD6450 and will run all your games at decent settings. Whats the rest of your computer specs?

LOL You plan to throw in a HD6450 with that beastly system? If you can spend so much surely you can toss in another $20 for a better graphics card? The HD4000 graphic chipset itself is almost the same in performance as the HD 6450. Cut back on the 2TB hard disk. Get a 1TB one so you can put more money towards a better graphics card.
