AMD Radeon 6450 512MB Graphics Card Review

TemperaturesMeasuring temperatures is all about being consitent, therefore we keep a steady eye on monitoring the ambient room temperature to make sure that it stays the same. While this is constantly being monitored, we measure the idle temperature of the card using HWMonitor over a 15 minute period. Once this has been recorded, we set FurMark into motion for 15 minutes and record the results again.
Sadly the 6450 seems to run a bit hotter at idle and load than the slightly higher priced, better performing 6570 though we feel if using this card for light gaming or HTPC usage, you may find you can ditch the fan and run it passively.
