Greate Graphics Card upgrade for Systems with Low Wattage Power Supplies
21 Jan 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
The Asus Radeon HD5450 Silent 512 MB DDR2 PCI-Express Graphics Card is a great low-cost upgrade to personal computer systems with an integrated graphics chipset and a low wattage power supply. It's definitely NOT for hardcore gamers that want the highest resolutions and the most demanding video setting, but it can run most of the popular titles currently available at a resolution of 1024 by 768 with medium to high graphic settings. What makes this card extremely attractive is it's low power requirement. Idle, the pull is about 7 watts, and loaded it pulls about 20 watts. That means that most off-the-shelf systems with a 220 to 250 watt power supply and a PCI-Express 16X slot should have no problem upgrading the integrated graphics to this card without having to replace the existing power supply. Even slim-line systems can use this card by converting the connection bracket to the low profile one included. The card really shines with HD video playback. Asus throws in some additional utilities with their video drivers that let you "tweak" the settings (if you choose), as well as, a "smart doctor" application that monitors the temperature of the GPU. Though the card doesn't use a dedicated fan (hence the "silent" label), Asus does recommend that the system's case have good air circulation (such as a case fan). Hope the information helps!

Great graphics card - difficult installation
23 April 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I rated this card 3 stars only because of the difficulty I had installing the card. But once you get it installed, I would give it a 5 star rating ..... it's both quiet and low power. I would recommend reading the two 5 star reviews for this card, as they have useful information about this card. I had two significant problems installing the card, which I will discuss in the hope that others can avoid the problems I ran into.
1) With settings at 1920 x 1080, which is the native resolution of my flat panel display, the HDMI video output was scaled down to about 85% of full screen size. This graphics card has a manager application called Catalyst Control Center, and the version that was initially installed was 11.2. While the help information in Catalyst 11.2 mentioned a "scaling function" in Catalyst, no scaling function was actually present in Catalyst 11.2. As of this review, the latest version of Catalyst is 11.3, and I would strongly recommend downloading and installing it as it has significant new features that are not present in 11.2, including the scaling function. Once the scaling function was adjusted to 100% in Catalyst 11.3, the problem was solved.
2) My PC has analog audio on the motherboard, which I needed to be functional after installing this graphics card. But since this card has HDMI audio, it has an HDMI audio driver that gets installed with the card installation. However, when the HDMI audio driver was installed, my analog audio driver disappeared. After many hours of trying everything I could think of to get the analog audio driver back, I contacted my PC's manufacturer and they determined that the problem was a BIOS setting. The analog audio on the motherboard has a BIOS setting that was set to "Auto", which worked for years as long as it was the only audio driver present. But as soon as the card's HDMI audio driver was installed, it automatically disabled the analog audio on the motherboard. The solution is to go into your BIOS setting (F10 at boot up in Vista) and find the analog audio and set it to "Enabled."

Great Video Card
27 Feb 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought this video card for my Shuttle SG33G5 that I'm using for my HTPC. Even with just a passive heat sink, the temperature has never gotten above 45C. The system fan at 800rpm produces enough airflow over the heatsink to keep it cool. If I increase the rpms to 1500 the temp only reaches 43C for fullscreen HD at 1920x1080 resolution. I was worried about how hot it would get, but I am very happy with the results. Setup was easy and the picture quality and sound from the HDMI port are great.
