"XFX AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GB GDDR3" doesn't improve vidoe experience

itisclaudio · Dec 8, 2014

I bought the "XFX AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GB GDDR3" to upgrade the current "Asus RV370XT Draker 2x600 256MB" graphic card in an old desktop HP Media Center PC m7087c Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 GHz, 2.87GB RAM running Windows XP. With the hope to be able to watch HD videos with out choppiness but after installing it I don't see any improvements at all.
Is there anything else I need to do or is it just that the Pentium 4 can't handle it?

Check your CPU when a video is running. If the CPU it tanked, no graphics card will increase your video performance. If there are a lot of applications running this could be hogging your CPU time as well. You could run something like CCleaner and clean out temp files, and orphaned registry keys. Make sure you aren't running things you don't need at start up. Other than that, you are probably exhausting your CPU's capabilities and none of this will help. A Pentium 4 is pretty antiquated tech.
