AMD is getting ready to launch their new Radeon HD6450, a budget card targeted at all those poor souls suffering through integrated Intel graphics chips. It’s not exactly ‘high-end’, but for most people it’ll be well beyond what they’re going to use it for, making it a great entry card for gaming.
Ultra high-framerates with cutting edge titles may not be in the cards for Radeon HD 6450 owners, but because the 6450 uses AMD’s tried and true Catalyst drivers and offers full DX11 support, game compatibility and rendering quality should be much better than Intel’s integrated graphics solutions. And the Radeon HD 6450 also handles multimedia and video playback very well. The video engine on the 6450 offers hardware acceleration of Flash video and DivX, Edge Enhancement and De-Noise filters, and a number of other features available as part of the UVD engine in other 6000-series Radeons.
