The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power. A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor. Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance. Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance. warranty period Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon HD 6450) Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5) When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region. The graphics card uses a combination of water and air to reduce the temperature of the card. This allows it to be overclocked more, increasing performance. When he bought it, he specifically asked for a graphics card that is able to render some of the latest games. Specifically he tried to play Crysis 3 at a resolution of 1920x1080 which was everything but not a fluid gaming experience. Picture was clear but once you moved around, everything got blurry and barely playable. I checked the computer management and found an entry like ASUS R5 230 L while on his invoice there was RADEON HD6450 2GB DDR3. Searching on the ASUS site, I found two different pages: ..indicating they're different cards. But then I found a review on Youtube with the name "Asus AMD Radeon HD6450 R5 230 2GB Graphics Card Review and Testing", basically listing both, HD6450 and R5230 as if it was one card!? Comparison of graphics card architecture, market segment, value for money and other general parameters. Value for money To calculate the index we compare the characteristics of graphics cards against their prices. Technical specsGeneral performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.
