This review is from: XFX HD545XZQH2 ATI Radeon HD5450 1GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI Low-Profile PCI-Express Video Card (Personal Computers)
Bought this to add to a lower budget PC and it worked alright up until a few days ago. Blue screened. Replaced with a better graphics card and didn't have anymore problems.
XFX is very, very frustrating,

I've installed over 30 video cards in my life. Never have I had an experience like this. If you would like to download the drivers for the video card you just purchased, you have to register the card. You also have to enter a personal activation code. Where do you get the personal activation code? They don't bother to tell you. No other company prevents customers from downloading drivers and Windows 7 does not automatically install them. What a hassle! I will never buy another XFX product again.
Avoid this one (and ATI HD 5450 GPU) if you use Linux,

I tried to configure it for Ubuntu. ATI/AMD driver detected the card, but caused blank screen when xserver starts. I followed various threads on Linux/Ubuntu forums about this card (and AIT HD 5450 in general), and blank screen seemed to be a common problem with ATI/AMD's driver. I finally got another card with NVidia chip set, and everything worked fine.
