ASUS EAH6450 Silent/DI/1GD3(LP) Radeon HD 6450 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

Pros: Newegg's service, price and delivery. An average card. Sale price and a rebate. Easy installation with a few extra features.

Cons: It is sad,....my Sparkle 6450 has richer video.

Other Thoughts: None.

Pros: Slim, silent, fanless, works in standard or low-profile slot, powers two HD monitors perfectly. You can run any combination of 2 monitors via the supplied connections (DVI, HDMI, VGA). If you install the low-profile adapter, the card will have the DVI and HDMI connectors and you can forgo the VGA connector, or connect that to another spacer right next to it, taking up two slot spaces.

Cons: May not be the best performer for 3D gaming.

Other Thoughts: When it comes to gaming, I only use nVidia. For standard desktop use (non-gaming), I chose whatever will offer the best price/performance and reliability. The silent cooler ensures no fan will eventually die. I did not test this for gaming.

Pros: none

Cons: one DVI did not work send back for RMA. got send back the exact same card again after 1 week. still having same issue. very poor service and quality

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

I am sorry you didn't have any luck with the RMA. If you went through ASUS please provide me your RMA number so that I can look up the information of what was done. If you are still having problems with your DVI port, please contact me so that I can help you get the proper repair you deserve.
You can reach me at cl-jeremy@asus.com if there is anything that I can do for you.

Pros: Low price, easy install, does what I need

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Had another video card that went bad in an old computer. Have a laptop with a Radeon 6450M, knew it was a good card, so I went with it to replace the bad card.

Pros: On Skyrim I went from 640x480 on Very Low settings to 1280x1024 on High settings.

Cons: When I run Skyrim at 1280x1024 it runs awesomely too at around 27-35 FPS, but the temperatures rise over 60 degrees Celsius then (peak 62 degrees), and I don't know if thats good or not. For now I will run at 1024x768 until I find the danger temperature.

Other Thoughts: The people on Tom's Hardware told me I would only get Low settings out of this card, and it a low resolution. Shows how much THEY know.

Pros: Fit in my HP Slimline Case, easy to install (even for me), Silent, no additional power cable required, HDMI hookup

Cons: None noted

Other Thoughts: Took me from 3 FPS on lowest settings to 45-50 FPS on Medium settings for World of Tanks (the only on line game I play because there's only 24 hours in a day!)

Pros: Perfect for dual video applications, easy install, comes with low profile brackets, software walked you through the driver installation, perfect for low profile applications, did not require an upgraded power supply to function, uses minimal resources, video is crisp, fluid, and jitter free on both monitors.

Cons: After install the onboard sound ports [front & back] stopped working. After doing some snooping around online and in the computer I figured out that I needed to turn the onboard audio back on in the BIOS, now all is good. Both the HDMI port on the video card and the front and rear audio ports generate sound. Not sure if this is really a con at the same time it was a learning experience.

Other Thoughts: Installed the video card in an HP Compaq dc7800 small form factor w/ Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Stock power supply is 240 watts. Both the computer and video card function great! The card is connected to an ASUS 23.6” [VH 238] monitor via HDMI and a 19” [HP 1907] monitor via the DVI port.

Purchased the card from Newegg with a recommendation of a trusted local computer store and my tech savvy brother in-law. Final price for the video card with shipping and mail in rebate was $33.58. Great price for a fantastic video card.

Newegg shipped the card quickly. Received in 4 business days with economy shipping which included tracking.

Pros: Price and quality SEEMS good.

Cons: No Low Profile Bracket. This card advertises Low Profile Ready and the pictures shows low-profile conversion brackets. But out of the 3 I ordered, NONE came with the low-profile conversion bracket... I ended up having to return them and order something else. Wasted our time on an urgent project that needs these low-profile HDMI cards...

Pros: Cheap, dual capable lots of memory matches up with AMD mother board and cpu
If I wanted to play games, I'd get an Xbox or what ever, so I dont see the point in a pair of $900 video cards. Have repaired hundreds of computers, as in owned my own shop, and never was impressed by the high end cards at all. 90%+ of all computers now days use the on board chip and don't even have a vid card. If you are not a die hard computer gamer, and have a AMD based computer, this card is probably over kill for you. The customer I used these cards for does heavy spread sheets and is very happy with them.

Cons: anyone bagging on a $40.00 vid card needs to get a life.

Other Thoughts: Used to create a 4 banger display set. A real 4 banger display card is $170.00. Always a pain to get cheap stuff configured to do what it wasn't designed for. The initial set up to 4 monitors wasn't lined up right. Every time I switched cables to set it to native defauts for monitor order they dropped on monitor and upon reboot changed the order again. Used the CCC software, which acted weird as well, as usual as in this wasn't my first 4 banger set up.

Pros: Cheap - work bought this to convert a PC to HDMI for a conference room

Cons: Has HDMI but cannot get audio to work or even find information if the card even supports audio
