With the release of WOW: Cataclysm, the level cap has been raised from 80 to 85. Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms have been redesigned with a changed appearance and some new towns. The quest system has been refreshed with almost 3500 new quests and new low and mid-level quests to go with the redesigned areas of Azeroth. Seven new dungeons and four new raids have been added. A new secondary skill is available, Archeology. The glyph system has been overhauled to now have three types of glyph, prime, major, minor. Glyphs are now permanently learned and require a reagent to remove from a slot. Two new races have been added, the Worgen and Goblins.
At our slightly reduced IQ settings, the HD6450 is capable of powering through the engine at this high resolution. It looks great and will certainly appeal to a wide audience.
Seems like a very decent card for the money. Not my cup of tea, but for media duties, very nice indeed.
If they clock this to 625mhz it will not relate to these scores unfortunateyl, thats a significant core clock drop.
Not a very exciting product, but the fact you can game on more than one screen, even if the IQ would be rubbish is a very cool idea. Great idea for a second system but I cant see this being used as a gaming card, more for media.
In that area it does very well indeed.
Sales in this market are much larger than the high end but there is very little money to be made here by AMD or their partners, maybe $10 a card profit.
This is a nice update, but passive would be more appealing to me than a fan.
The HD6450 seems like a nice HTPC card, if not a tad expensive.
Also, it’s nice to see a tech review site that actually makes an effort to make sure that their graphs are clear to read, so people can actually quickly make sense of the data (the whole point in a graph). Keep up the good work.
