I'm trying to find this person a video card that'll be better than his current integrated one. He doesn't need all of the bells and whistles, just something other than extreme low with 800x600 resolution. Before i make a final "this will be better," i want to compare this card to others. So far all i can find are reviews on this thing, not exactly what i need.

EDIt: Already searched this forum. I thought i found some threads but nothing on this particular card. Looked in some other threads on this forum as well, nothing..

Just give him a 5450 and call it a day. They're cheap enough as it is.

That's not the best way to go about this on future buys though in my opinion. If i come across another card and want to see roughly how it compares i want to look at benchmarks. If i'm seeing it get 2fps in all games it's played on then chances are it's not that good of a card.

I also want to see for myself how the benchmarks are so i can get a rough idea on performance around cards of this range so i have a better idea what to recommend in the future. I just don't like going into something half-blind.

But if there's no benchmarks that's different, however on a card like this i'm sure there's got to be at least some kind of a benchmark, right? There's a benchmark for pretty much anything you google now a days whenever i need to find comparisions on a cpu or memory.

Son, what do you need benchmarks for? By your own account, only thing he needs are:

better than his current integrated one. He doesn't need all of the bells and whistles, just something other than extreme low with 800x600 resolution.

That implies no gaming, which automatically excludes about 95% of the graphic cards on the market.

So... 5450.

Well, that card just came on the market about a week ago -- so will be very hard to find any benchmarks. And most benchmarking sites will probably ignore it, but I did find one bench -- it didn't do very well: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gp...GeForce+GT+520
Also, we need some idea of how the card will be used.

Oh, didn't even know it's THAT new... I don't follow that pci-1x market at all.

So i can have at least some rough idea if it'll even be worth an upgrade over what he has. If he spends $70 and gets 1fps more on a flash game then it's not worth it. But if he gets 30fps more on a game he normally gets 25 in, then it's worth it. Benchmarks give you a rough idea with how an item will compare and what fps you can guess you'll be getting in games.

Thanks.

To everyone else: No clue this card was that new. Since i don't follow that market i didn't know and it didn't come up when i was searching for benchmarks either.

If it helps, I recently purchased an nvidia GT430 for my HTPC that also has an i5-2500k and 8 gigs of ram. It plays Diablo 3 fairly well on medium-high settings.
