@THExVETERAN That depends card specs can missinforming or inacreate,The graphix driver or a card's software use's redinering or antialaching featcher,s form derictX or other graphic engine analyzers.Stream pocesser,s can be aranged diffrently, Interms of how gpu comands are recived or sent between the core clock and graphics ram.Also pixel pipeline,s might not always be linked to each other dirctley,and can use a separation bridge or comand or addressline command inter-contracted data transfer.

@QBpcguy Everything. ATI drivers suck for example. Performance doesn't compare with nVidia. The only place I noticed ATI was better was with GPU temperatures being lower especially on mobile devices but that's not the case anymore. I used to say I never had a problem with ATI whenever an nVidia fan told me about ATI. I lol right now because I had nVidia when I was saying that. Thought I'd switch back to ATI this year. Worst move ever!

I'm still waiting for games to use the power of my HD5830 that I bought last year. There's a serious DX11 (and even DX10!) drought right now. Even Crysis2 which we all expected to be DX11 screwed us over. I don't see the point in buying anything this powerful for a looooong time. Outdated consoles are killing the PC market.

Tomteluva commented on 16 Apr 2011

@EDKsurly I also got a 4890 and thinking about upgrading it to a 6950, as the power leap to 6970 is not that big but the price has a big gap. Comparing my 4890 to PCWizKidsTeckTalk 6950 review in GPU-Z it's most of the time dubble the power. Bandwith is about 20% diff, but transistors was more then 150% extra.

Seb Krause commented on 16 Apr 2011

Hey :) I was just wondering, I have about $200 Aus dollars to spend. What can I get for that? should I upgrade my old Pc? My old Pc specs: Processor: AMD athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 5000+ 2.60ghz Ram: 2.00gbs System type: 32-bit OS Vista... So what do you think? What should I upgrade?

nelizmastr commented on 26 Apr 2011

@MiTDawnDesigns black ops is like.... not that good. has worse graphics than mw2 too, but heavier on the hardware. kind of a GTA IV spec needed. I'd say, take the 6850, or the GTX460. 6790 is a quite pointless card. I mean.. higher power consumption than the 6850, but less performance.

DaftGamer commented on 07 Jul 2011

Guyz i was on a tight budget and bought the ATI Radeon HD 5450 on ebay for 25$ total. I was prepared to pay 120$ dollars for a card and saw this deal. The Card actually made my PC worse. Could you run the Saphire HD 6790 on Vista 32-bit Intel Dual Core with 4 GB of RAM?

TheAlin25 commented on 09 Dec 2011

@kmscws it will be good for gaming but you won't be able to max battlefield 3 on 1920x1080 at least i don't think so...but you can max it out on 1280x720:) maybe higher...look for some benchmarks on that cpu to see how battlefield 3 will run..hope i helped.

Tomteluva commented on 16 Apr 2011

@star483 I personally don't see your reson for getting an additonal card if you can run whatever you want. 60fps+ and the human brain can't see a difference. And I personally use V-Sync when it gose over just to get the card to be a bit more quiet.

Michael Recto commented on 28 Apr 2011

Will this bottleneck with an AMD Phenom II X4 640, the one without the L3 cache? How about with an Athlon II X4? My first choice before was the 6850 but this is much cheaper and performs almost as well as the 6850 in terms of benchmarks.

Alexander Stopher commented on 25 Jun 2011

"Yes, that's right. I can play Crysis 2 on max". My £900 laptop can run Crysis 1 and 2 on Best Visuals (Hardcore level on Crysis 2) with no lag. It has a ATI Radeon HD 5870 which I think is priced similar to the card you are reviewing.

MrVampinator commented on 28 Dec 2011

im going to buy a Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3, Socket-AM3+ Motherboard and a AMD Phenom II X6 1045T processor and this graphics card, will i be able to run BF3 on atleast high graphics since there is nearly no difference to high and ultra

kw lian commented on 06 May 2011

@maz12004 Asian segment GPU market on HD 6790 & HD 6850 is not even similar priced certain specific manufacturer model of HD 6790 will have onli one 6 pin connector , whereas majority HD 6850 consist of two 6 pin connector .

conyo985 commented on 17 Apr 2011

@maz12004 Funny thing is the reference 6790 is a castrated 6870 but smarter third party manufacturers like Powercolor used a 6850 pcb thus only requiring one 6-pin connector and is shorter than the reference model.

superparadoxman commented on 17 Apr 2011

hey ive got a xfx hd radeon 6970 now and was looking to upgrade and run crossfire x with one or two more cards. do you think that this would be a wise choice to pair with that and a asus crosshair IV Extreme MB?

Mochizuki-San commented on 22 Sep 2011

@PCWizKid or anybody can i install an this graphics card to a asus p6 series motherboard,intel core i5 750,mid tower case? if not please leave me a suggestion to what to buy for a gaming PC $900-$700

TheFunniestDude commented on 15 Apr 2011

the gpu has to be literally the same. 5770 and 6790 have different gpu's but you can crossfire a6990 and a 6970 because the 6990 has two of the 6970 gpu's in this case tho, crossfire will not work

Tomteluva commented on 16 Apr 2011

@DoMiNaToR2465 If it can run BF:BC2 today, then it will probobly be able to run BF3 but slightly slower, if the optimastion stays the same within the game. (Frostbite 1.x vs Frostbite 2.0)

@AwsomTom100 The BIOS is the first thing that is called upon when a PC is powered on, it identifies all system devices such as the RAM, Hard Drives, CPU, GPU, Keyboard, Mouse e.t.c. It has a User Interface in which the user can make changes to System settings such as change where the Operating System boots from and enable/disable components and more. To get to the BIOS, you have the press 'ESC' as soon as the first screen appears when you power on the Laptop.

Andy Fisher commented on 10 Jan 2012

@CrazyBunnyFilmGroup That might be because of your settings in the BIOS. Reboot your Laptop and go into the BIOS by pressing ESC. Once you're on the BIOS Screen look for the section that says "Switchable Graphics" and change it to "Fixed", then save and exit the BIOS and once your Laptop is back on the Desktop screen you should have the same menu as mine.

slurpyduck commented on 24 Jan 2012

When you're using the dynamic option (in the BIOS setting), is there any way to check which GPU is currently running (Intel or dedicated)? I've assigned some applications to run on a dedicated GPU, but didn't seem to notice any difference. So I need to make sure the dedicated GPU is actually on. Thanks!

DrawFist12 commented on 03 Jan 2012

@TrueSkyl1n3 I know now what is the problem, the intel hd graphics is the first adapter in line, so when i enter to a game it runs more with the hd graphics than the Radeon HD, how can i change that?, this problem happens when i play gta iv, la noire , etc..

Andy Fisher commented on 24 Jan 2012

@slurpyduck To see what GPU is currently active is to go to the Start Menu and type 'dxdiag' and hit Enter (If a box comes up about driver signature checking just click No), then on the 'Display' tab look next to 'Name:' It'll say what GPU is active.

cpnewcheats commented on 18 Jun 2013

I activated the notifications for programs that weren't using high performance, then I enter the game, exit, and it asks if I want to change to high performance. I proceed to change that program and done :D Now Skyrim runs much better!

SnowFlake commented on 02 Mar 2012

my catalyst interface looks different. it got option to set each programs to High Performance, and Power saving. Some says Not assigned. But even when I press High performance it doen't activate my AMD Radeon. Still on intel HD.

DrawFist12 commented on 02 Jan 2012

Men i have a problem with the graphics card is the same that yours: HD 6490M, From where can i download the lastest drivers?, i think its not performing well because i cant run some games smoothly. Can you help me please? :/

Amen Nakhti commented on 22 May 2012

You do know that if you have both the intel and AMD active in BIOS(dynamic) you have more dedicated VRAM..but I too just put mine on "fixed', that way you can get drivers from AMD

Andy Fisher commented on 03 Jan 2012

@DrawFist12 Yea that's it. You're not able to manually switch the GPU's unless you change the option in the BIOS, then you can choose to have the Radeon GPU active at all times.

Crazy Bunny Productions commented on 10 Jan 2012

When I click on "switchable graphics", I get a screen that looks completely different from yours. It is a screen that allows me to change the options of specific programs.

Andy Fisher commented on 09 Dec 2011

@Georgexanthiostis The theme is just the 'Slate' colour with the Intensity slider all the way to the left. Here's my wallpaper I made too: tinyurl . com / coeu8xo

cardinalsbaseball5 commented on 14 Jul 2012

You have to press f10 right when you start your computer to get to the BIOS. Then you have to change the option that has something to do with the graphics card.

Sefarim commented on 05 Oct 2012

i don't have dynamic/static graphic card options in my bios. I updated it recently and nothing changed. I've got hp dv6 with amd cpu dual radeon graphics.

Andy Fisher commented on 10 Oct 2011

@ulgl1234 I have no idea, I haven't personally tried Medal of Honor yet so the next few videos I upload will contain Medal of Honor amongst them.

Andy Fisher commented on 12 Jun 2012

@PIKACHU49386 Yea it's strange, I have no idea why HP didn't just have the Radeon GPU on its own instead of a confusing Intel+AMD GPU setup...

HoobaBros commented on 10 Oct 2011

the program doesn't work that good as it does with you, i can't find any overclocking things, could i add you on steam or something? Greetz'

Yes you can, just google for your graphics card overclocking limits, and try but be careful watch on temperature it can be dangerous if overheats.

BenchmarkPalace commented on 01 Nov 2015

if you really could care less about fps then at 720p low settings you could. there also are some higher fps mods you could try. I uploaded a video of the hd 6450/r5 230 on my channel.

Aaron Martinez commented on 29 Sep 2015

I already bought this card, so for this card do you have any processor recomendations

ImSitting NextToASexyBeast commented on 28 Nov 2015

to get the most performance atleast core 2 quad q6600

ConnorReviewsandMore commented on 18 Aug 2015

If you are getting the hd 6450 please go with the 1gb version if it is cheaper than the 2gb. There is no difference in performance (gaming and media) unless you use a program that utilizes lots of vram. I have tested for myself.

+Jamie “The Viking” Ramone the card uses pci express.

Is that card PCI only or can one get a PCI Express variant of this card? My only PCI slot is used by the tuner card and I DON'T want to remove it.
