Solution houldendub Nov 26, 2013 Not at all. The two cards are completely different in almost every way apart from the fact they're made by AMD. Might as well sell the 6450 for £15 or so and be gone with it. Or use it as a coaster.

I'll throw it in a HTPC build though, so not all is lost. Thanks again Upvote 0 Downvote

Had to bump up my PSU, but it is incredible the difference it made. Upvote 0 Downvote
