Looks a pretty funky and powerful card
I'd like to see some 3D marks on that one

Edit: i found a review with 3Dmarks http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1202/6/

Not bad results all in all for a budget card:

The ATI Radeon HD 5450 scored 471 3DMarks in 3DMark Vantage with Extreme settings.
The ATI Radeon HD 5450 scored P1391 with default performance settings.

I like the Dolby HD advancement for a new receiver I will purchase. I listen to flac files using my 5.1 home theater. Audiophiles will love and need this new card!
