Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 Sapphire Edition Review

Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 Sapphire Edition is a special edition of the entry-level Radeon HD 6450 (OEM).
Compared to the reference card, this edition has a slightly higher operating memory clock which will increase the bandwidth between the GPU and the frame buffer. However, the bandwidth increase will only be noticeable under special circumstances. Expect an, overall, 2% performance boost when compared to the reference card.

You reported 60 FPS for Need for Speed: The Run on ultra. You need to report the AVERAGE FPS, not the MAX FPS. Also, forgive me my manners but most of your FPS seem phony. Your reports are all better than mine.

When it's off? So you can't have locked 60/70FPS (according to the monitor's refresh rate)?
