A score over 1,000 with the basic entry settings is certainly not going to set the world alight, however again it indicates reasonable lower resolution DirectX 11 gaming capabilities.
Out of interest we also tried the HD6450 in our high end overclocked Core i7 system and the score was improved, to 1,321 points. Not many people would be using a HD6450 with an overclocked Core i7 970 processor at 4.33ghz mind you.
