Vista - hd raedon 3450

i have a spare hd raedon 3450, because i bought 2 thinking to run in crossfire, didnt work, so i decided to let a friend have it, he has a 400watt psu, i think it works, but im just not not sure, i think i have a 400 watt psu too, idk, doesnt say in the manuel.

and it was foolish to throw away the box in it, i was kinda happy that day..

a 3450 will easily run on a 400 watt psu........ i ran one on a 250 watt psu for almost four months

250 watts?? dam what the hell am i scared for? what games do you think it be able play? left 4 dead? i never tried

ummm.... almost nothign haha..... its a very low end card

can it play WOW? i have never played wow, cuz is seems scary.. addict dying because they play too much..not my type of games..

um it will at low graphics.... and yes wow is addictive... haha

The HD 3000 series wasnt one of ATI/AMD's best series, in fact almost the worst.

That card, the HD 3450, reported a framerate of 11 fps at 1152x864 in FEAR.

A slide-show experience if you ask me. It's basically equivalent to my 8400 GS that i told you about, kiddie. Maybe even worse.

For WoW's new updated engine (since update 3.0/lich king), a 3450 is below the minimum spec for it. They increased the draw distance and all the textures within that game as well. (my 3 9800 GTX+'s took a performance hit of 20 fps dropping down to 40 fps. when you think of WoW, you think of smooth and easy playability.
and this was with 1920 x 1200 and everything max with 16xQ AA (custom) )

I'd just pick up a new card if anything else.

well..... i disagree that it was there worst series........ my 3650 would run the game on high settings at 40+ fps and i havn't even tried my 3870..... i'm guess i could do at least 60+ fps with high settings

uh oh!!!

FLAME WARSSSS

jk

fine, i'll take your opinion, that it sucks, i looked at the specs, everything good excep for the memory bandwidth, it kinda slow, my next choice was the ATI Radeon HD 4350,
it a bit more expensive, but i think it like 20% better??

also MDA400 how much was your rig?? you got a picture?

at what resolution though?

Anyways. i havent really used ATI *cough* AMD in soo long. (since i had a 9100 mobility radeon )


No flame war here man. (I wish. doesnt get a lot of action around here . kidding)

As for the pictures, ill tak ethe pictures with my webcam (logitech 9000. dont worry good high quality) and post them a bit later from now.
