Is there any advantage to using a Radeon 6450 and a 7770 at the same time?

I'm replacing the 6450 for a slight upgrade to a 7770. Should I ditch the old card completely (maybe use it in a HTPC) or leave it in with the 7770?

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.

Thanks for the quick reply! My best guess was that the 6450 was pretty far gone for any use. I'll throw it in a HTPC build though, so not all is lost.

Thanks again

Yes, after install and setup it more or less blows the old card out of the water. Had to bump up my PSU, but it is incredible the difference it made.
