Radeon HD 6450A Game Requirement Analysis
Overview
Radeon HD 6450A is a Mobile Entry-Level Graphics Card, used In All-In-One PCs that is based on the second revision of the Terascale Architecture.
Architecture
The Second variant of the Terascale 2 Architecture is still manufactured with a 40nm technology and despite allowing more Stream Cores, their design remains more or less the same compared to the first variant.
GPU
It equips a GPU Codenamed Caicos PRO which has 2 Compute Units activated and thus offers 160 Shader Processing Units, 8 TMUs and 4 ROPs. The Central Unit Operates at 625MHz.
Memory
The GPU accesses a 512MB frame buffer of GDDR3, through a 64-bit memory interface. The memory clock operates at 533MHz. The size of the frame buffer is adequate.
Features
DirectX 11.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for HD3D, Eyefinity, App Acceleration, PowerPlay and other technologies.
Power Consumption
With a rated board TDP of 25W, it requires at least a 300W PSU and it relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required.
Performance
Radeon HD 6450A is essentially a mobile version of Radeon HD 6450 v3 and offers exactly the same performance.
System Suggestions
We recommend a modest processor (Intel Celeron) and 2GB of RAM for a system with Radeon HD 6450A.
