Amd radeon hd 5450 dota 2

AMD Radeon RX 550 2GB Review

Dota 2 (Vulkan)

Medium Results

Dota 2 yields similar results as Civilization VI, illustrating that the Radeons all behave similarly in their triumph over Intel’s HD Graphics 530.

An almost-76% advantage proves that Radeon RX 550 is a big upgrade over an integrated GPU at 1920×1080. But we wouldn’t expect Polaris 12 to lead AMD’s other cards in a comparison like this. What’s going on there?

In order to generate usable results for our Core i3 host processor, quality dropped to the second-lowest preset. Let’s pull Intel’s graphics out of the list, max out Dota 2’s quality slider, and see if the Radeons land in the same order.

Best Looking Results

A 15% slow-down brings Radeon RX 550 back below the other two cards, though it’s still plenty playable averaging 60 FPS. We do record some big frame time spikes, but they register on the other cards as well.

The fact that AMD’s Radeon RX 460 only gives up 2% of its performance shifting to Dota 2’s top quality setting suggests a host processing bottleneck. In other words, generating higher frame rates calls for something faster than a Core i3.

Current page: Dota 2 (Vulkan)

Wow, can’t even hit 60fps in Doom. Talk about a sheep in wolf’s clothing. This is barely a step above those $30 GPUs that you buy strictly because you don’t have onboard graphics.

This is an 85$ GPU, competing with more the likes of a GT 740. So don’t expect good details at such a low price point. $30 GPUs are worse than IGPUs BTW.

However, you can still find GTX 750s and 750 tis used for the price of a 550 and it performs much better.

They should be selling the old 460 as the 550, for $80, and then sold this gpu as the 540 for $50-$60.

Its hard to buy a card that you know can’t keep up with the consoles. What happens when a big game comes out and you don’t have the horse power to actually play it? The 460 and 560 can keep up, but the 550 might he left behind.

Save your pennies for another couple weeks and buy something better, its worth the wait

Very dissapointing for the price. At $50 might make more sense. Then again, I would only use this for a system without IGP for video acceleration.

On a side note, images finally load correctly using Firefox on Android.

Face it. Its a 720p card. Just like something like the a10-7890K using integrated graphics is good for 720p gaming too.

That’s the value proposition that should be explored. the A10 w. integrated, or the 550 discreet.

They should be selling the old 460 as the 550, for $80, and then sold this gpu as the 540 for $50-$60.

There is a very simple reason nobody makes new GPUs for under $80: there is next to no profit to be made from them.

Keep in mind that out of that $80 MSRP, there is a

60% distributor and retailer markup on the manufacturer’s own price, so the manufacturer itself only sees

$50 of it to cover DRAM, GPU chip, PCB, support components, HSF, assembly, testing, packaging, R&D, marketing, gross profit margin, etc. In other words, manufacturers barely break even on those and don’t want you to buy them unless your choice boils down to either that or nothing. They’d much prefer that you buy the RX560 for $20-30 more which translates to $10-20 more gross profit for the manufacturer.

Who are you going to get an alternative sub-$100 GPU from? Nvidia has bailed out of that market altogether to focus on $150+ (launch-time MSRP) GPUs.

Can i run Dota 2 smoothly on this requrements ?

I have had my dota 2 key for ages but no PC to play, as of recent i got the money to buy a new PC so this is what i had in mind.

Intel Celeron Dual Core G530

ATI Radeon 5450 1GB/DDR3

So im pretty sure that i will be able to play dota 2 smoothly on this PC but people keep telling me that this graphic card isnt for gaming and that i should be able to run dota 2 but with low quality settings and with low resolution. Also will I be able to run max quality on this PC ?

Any help on this topic would be apriciated.

i dont really know how good your video card is.

i’m running DOTA 2 on everything high except no AA and those ambient video settings.
still get below 20FPS but still playable.

try to compare your specs with my laptop’s specs:
i5-2410M (2.3GHz up to 2.9GHz)
2GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GT540M

and btw, Dual Core and Quad Core are old Intel processors, i5 and i7 are much better.
and there’s no need to include what CD/DVD drive you have since DOTA 2 is only available in digital download.

This PC is currently on a promotion ( it’s a hell of a good deal ) so i can’t buy seperate parts, also as far as the processors are consired i know that Dual and Quad are old but i5 and i7 are much more expensive than the dual core and due to my budget i cant afford them. I just want to run dota 2 smoothly on my PC nothihg else.

Well, i have this pc and i run dota with 40-60fps with everithing in high, vsync on..
CPU: E5200 Dual Core 2.5ghz
Ram: 3gb 800mhz
GPU: Ati HD 6790

That’s not very helpful considering your gpu is towards the high end. Well, I guess it shows that your cpu can do it. If it helps, look at the second post because the NVIDIA GT540M is better then the one you’d be buying. So, you could probably run the game on lower settings, but also take into account many low FPS are also caused by compatibility issues. The gpu you’d be buying is a lot worse then what you could buy for less then $100 nowadays so you could just replace it.

This also wasn’t really the best place to ask, I’d have posted in the perfomance and technical support thread because people that cared would be more likely to answer. Or you could even try a social site.

I have almost same spec. Can’t really play everything on high, but still works perfectly on medium/low.

Imo don’t expect to play on high with this card. I’m almost sure that you get fine gameplay at medium and 101% sure that you can play awesomely at low settings.

Probably only on the lowest settings. I advise you against buying that system.

Before my current one I had a very similar system to the one you posted, except some things were much better:

• AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor (4 x 3.2 GHz)
• 8 GB RAM
• 1 TB HDD
• ATI Radeon HD 5450 1 GB DDR3

You can see my processor was much better, I had double your RAM (, and more hard disk space but that’s irrelevant).
I was able to play Dota 2 only on the lowest settings, and even then I had only 30 FPS. Obviously the graphics were absolutely awful and it ruined my gaming experience.

Calling a spade a spade, the ATI Radeon HD 5450 is utter crap. I can only advise you not to buy it! (By the way it has a Windows experience index of low 3.7 which is below par for gaming PCs).
I don’t know about your processor but I personally wouldn’t get that one either, but that’s your call.
Then the memory: 4 GB of RAM sound okay but more is always better. Also, RAM is very cheap and buying more at once is a good investment (I currently have 8 GB for about 30 euros /

Edit:
Just for the giggles and to give you an idea, this is my current system which perfectly runs every game on high settings:
(Copied from Windows performance info. The bold numbers are the Windows experience indices which can range from 1 to 7.9)

Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor 7.3 (yeah I kept it )
Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB 7.5
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 7.4 (this is actually the ZOTAC AMP! edition of the card)
Gaming graphics: 4095 MB Total available graphics memory 7.4
Primary hard disk: 1000GB 7.0
