It's rare to see a rumor -- hell, even a roadmap -- pinpoint the timing of new releases quite so accurately, but our earlier report of ATI refreshing (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/nvidia-fermi-pushed-back-to-march-ati-prepping-midrange-refresh/) the middle and lower parts of its lineup turned out to be bang on. Following in the footsteps of the HD 5670 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/), we have the Radeon HD 5450, which drags the entry price for DirectX 11 and Eyefinity (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/ostendo-multiple-crvd-display-games-on/) multi-monitor support all the way down to $50. Course, the processing power inside isn't going to be on par with its elder siblings (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/ati-radeon-hd-5770-and-5750-steal-away-reviewers-hearts/), but that also means the 5450 will run cool enough to be offered with half-height, passive cooling solutions as seen above. ATI's focus here is on media PCs, with a DisplayPort, um... port, alongside HDMI 1.3a, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreaming (http://www.engadget.com/tag/bitstreaming) support. For the money, you really can't argue with all this extra multimedia juice, but if you must have benchmarks to sate your soul, check out the early reviews below -- they're full of bar charts and performance comparisons, don't you know.Continue reading ATI Radeon HD 5450 focuses on multimedia features, neglects gaming (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/ati-radeon-hd-5450-focuses-on-multimedia-features-neglects-gami/)
