XFX HD 5450 Review

Testing:

Power consumption of the system will be measured in both idle states and load states and will take into account the peak voltage of the system with each video card installed. I will use MSI Kombuster to load the GPU for a fifteen minute test and use the peak load of the system as my result for the maximum load. The idle results will be measured after fifteen minutes of inactivity on the system.

Settings

• MSI Kombuster stability test
• 1920x1200 resolution
• 8XAA
• 15 minute load test
• 15 minute idle test
• Measurement is in Watts

Lower = Better

The power consumption of the HD 5450 is very minimal and even after the overclocked settings were applied the whole system consumed only 162W under full load.
