XFX Radeon HD 6450 PCIE HDMI 512 MB 2 GB DDR3 DVI VGA 625MHZ Card (HD645XCNH2)

 (3 customer reviews)

I like to build media PCs for friends and family - this is a great little MediaPC card for a full-height system (IE, if you're putting it in a low-height case, this is not the video card for you. Try searching for "low-profile" or "low height" video cards - a 1GB version of this card in low-profile exists, and does great for a low-profile system.)

I decided to build a new one using some deprecated parts, but was missing a video card. No problem, order the same one I ordered for my own system and chunk it in. Only problem - the one I ordered from Amazon was DOA.

Fortunately Amazon's return policy came in handy, but I bought a different card for the system and sent the new one on its way. I'm a little disappointed in the XFX folks - I don't know if the flooding in Thailand affected their manufacturing processes at all but it seems like there's a few more DOA in the XFX card lines than normal these days.

Still, I find I have far less problems with XFX...Read more

I was looking for a good solid home theater/Media PC unit and this was perfect.

It can be hard to find a low cost, solid performing, and passively cooled unit; luckily there was this. I've always had great success with XFX video cards so purchasing it was a no brainer.

Installation was really simple, just popped it into the system, booted into windows, downloaded and installed the latest driver package online and was done in less than 15 minutes.

Connected from HDMI on the card directly to the home entertainment center was also easy, just plugged it in, told windows to use HDMI audio outpu instead of speakers, and all my windows sounds came out of the speakers on the TV. Super easy setup.

I am very happy I purchased this. 2GB of memory has such a difference in both the clarity and speed! Also the heat sink keeps it quite and cool so overall I am a happy camper with this product.
