AXLE RADEON HD 5450 512MB GDDR3 Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2010-07-02

The RADEON HD 5450 from AXLE is a passively cooled video card with a very precise purpose: to be used in a single or multi-monitor setup for 2D applications or watching High Definition movies. The 3D performance is low, can be compared to the 4550 and it is not recommended for the latest games, but the card is passively cooled and should make for a nice HTPC component.

Synthetic Benchmarks

Synthetic Benchmarks

We first converted the obtained scores/FPS for each benchmark to a percentage in comparison to the highest score (=100%), we then averaged all the benchmark scores per resolution/IQ and the results are put into these charts. So these are relative performance charts in % to the fastest card. (full performance numbers here)

In the first batch of synthetic benchmarks without AA the HD 5450 trails the 4550 by ~5%, overall the card does less good as the resolution increases. At best it’s 70% slower than the fastest card, at 1920x1200 that increases to 88% slower!

Adding 4xAA for a card already struggling with 1280x1024 is just brutal, here the HD 5450 once again trails the older HD 4550 in the synthetic benchmarks.

Will the HD 4550 stay in the lead in the game benchmarks? Let us find out ->
