Here in Company of Heroes the card trades off with the GeForce 8800 GT as it takes the lead in Relic's DX10 RTS.
World in Conflict shows similar results with the 4830 just being edged out by the 4830.
3DMark as well it's close but not able to keep up.
Power consumption was measured from the wall socket directly from the computer. Idle was taken after 5 minutes into the Windows desktop and Load was tested emphasizing gaming performance and the video card in Crysis' GPU demo.
The Radeon 4450 power consumption is much lower than the 4670 we recently looked at whether idle or under load. This means it should be a much better card for an HTPC as long as gaming performance isn't that important to you. The temperature of the card was measured at 55 degrees Celsius idle and 87 after a full load. Again the 4800 cards get quite hot but at last ATI has added a tool to control the fanspeed. Overclocking the board was fairly easy with ATI's drivers, hitting 650MHz for
the core and 1GHz for the memory with ease.
