HIS H645H2GD1 Radeon HD 6450 2GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express x1 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card

Pros: UVD 3.0 support. Native DisplayPort. Silent, with no potential for fan problems. Full HDMI support. Low profile-ready (brackets included).

Cons: HDMI dongle is slightly cumbersome and MUST be used to pass audio over HDMI. Spendy, but that's to be expected, given the low production volume.

Other Thoughts: I posted this second review to remind purchasers that the supplied HDMI dongle features proprietary hardware that will pass the audio signal over HDMI. Please note that a standard DVI-to-HDMI cable will NOT suffice for this purpose: the special proprietary AMD dongle is needed!

Pros: easy as pie

Cons: none

Pros: Completely silent, passively cooled design.
Good 2D desktop performance at 2560 x 1600 resolution.
Very reasonably priced.

Cons: Limited 3D and gaming performance.

Other Thoughts: This is a very nice video card for basic desktop work and server-class systems.

Pros: Small, plenty of output ports, cool and runs games well for small ITX systems

Cons: No HDMI

Other Thoughts: DVI does NOT carry audio. Whoever wrote the review explaining that they can't get audio should fix their TECH LEVEL.
DVI to HDMI, doesn't magically create an audio connection when DVI NEVER HAD AUDIO to begin with.

Pros: Works as expected

Cons: Can't get audio working using the supplied DVI-to-HDMI adapter 6140063501G. Tried to install/reinstall drivers, still no luck.

Pros: Installed tonight, Im not a gamer so do not know how it would preform there but card installed easily runs good, 6 videos running on six different players and 2 videos on you tube in separate browsers. good picture quality excellent hd video watching one movie. was hesitant about getting the card due to some saying it ran hot, probably would with lack of air flow but my ThermalTake case provides plenty of air flow. happy so far.

Cons: none yet

Pros: See other thoughts..

Cons: See other thoughts..

Other Thoughts: No wonder out goverment is in debt. buying $100 cards when you can get a better manufacture card by Gigabyte.

Pros: Installed without a problem out of the box. Using 3 lcd monitors and Eyefinity on a KVM switch (central monitor only). No heat problems so far even though the card uses passive cooling and so is very quiet. :)

Cons: Relatively slow graphics processor. GPU usage up to 99% watching Netflix HD. Wouldn't play games with this. Had to buy an active displayport adapter (DP to DVI) @$30 to use the 3rd monitor.

Other Thoughts: I had to get this card because my KVM switch has VGA ports.

Pros: Games looked great for a little bit.

Cons: This card over heats fast! Just looking at facebook and emails will over heat this card. I tried playing SWTOR could only play 5min before it hard crashed due to the card over heating. Big mistake making this purchase.

Other Thoughts: I should have just bought a new motherboard, power supply and better video card. Money down the drain.
