 So today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of a new product from ATI. This is the DirectX 11 Radeon 5450. So the 5450 is pretty much a step down from the 5600 series. Now ATI has been doing everything they possibly can, it seems, to release as many DirectX 11 cards as possible. They are getting their whole lineup launched top to bottom, and so this represents what is currently the bottom for their DirectX 11 cards. So this is a 512 MB card, you can see that here. It has DVI, VGA, and HDMI output, so it would be suitable as a media card if you wanted to output to your TV. And it has 1 GB of hyper memory. Now hyper memory isn't something that we've seen for a little while, but I mean, ATI also hasn't released a new low-end card for a little while. So hyper memory basically allows it to take use of your, to make use of your system memory as well as the memory that's actually built onto the card. So here's a quick rundown of the basic specs. I'm not sure if you can read that, so I'll help you. It's a 5450, it's PCI Express 2.1 40nm process technology, DirectX 11, Shader Model 5, etc., etc. I mean, even with the gaming features that this card does have, I wouldn't expect to be doing a whole lot of hardcore gaming on it. It is meant more as, you know what, and I've totally missed this, it is meant more as a power saving, green sort of initiative. So one thing that ATI's new 40nm Radeon 5000 series cards have done very well, is they have made, they have really cut down on the amount of power that they use when they're idling or when they're not actually processing 3D images. So let's just see what we have for accessories here. First of all, we have a quick installation guide. Okay, so they show you how to install the graphics card into the slot, plug in a power at the back. I can't imagine this having a 6-pin PCI Express plug on it, but I guess we'll find out in a moment. And then inside the quick installation guide, you will find a driver DVD. Don't use that, just download the latest ones off ATI.com. Alright, so let's get this open here. Here is the 5450 itself. That is everything that's in the box, so there's not a whole lot included in terms of accessories, which in theory I guess you won't really need because you can see that the card includes pretty much all of the outputs that you'd want. DisplayPort hasn't really caught on yet, so whether you're running a digital monitor with DVI, your TV, HDMI, or an old CRT monitor, VGA, or really old LCD, I suppose would also need VGA, you should be pretty much covered. Now this card is passively cooled, which is great for a low-power card because that means, A, okay, you're not getting a whole lot of heat put out of it, so that means that heat output from this card, so it means it can be passively cooled, and it also means that it's great for media applications because you're not going to have additional little noisy fans going in your PC. It's also one fewer point of failure. I've seen so many low-end graphics cards fail over the years, and the only thing that died was the little whiny fan on it, so that's the only thing that's wrong with it, but they're so hard to find a replacement for, so that's kind of long-winded, but yeah, I love passive cards for that very reason. This uses PCI Express 2.1, as they mentioned on the box, so that's a standard PCI Express 16x connector. You can see a couple of RAM chips at the back, and I believe, yep, there are a couple of RAM chips, not sure if you can see through there, if I angle it just right, there are a couple of RAM chips in there, as well as the GPU itself. So thank you for checking out my unboxing of the PowerColor Radeon 3450.
