Thankfully though I seem to have hammered down all the issues and now can I'm running just fine. It sounded like the perfect solution, and it should have been a simple upgrade.
Being able to watch bluray and mkv files would extend the life of this old beast just a bit longer. I bought the card to slap into my Athlon XP 2000+ machine that has an ASUS A7V600 8X AGP motherboard. Pros: DirectX 10.1, x264/Bluray decoding in hardware, AGP, cheap For XP users, get the driver from AMD's website as the drivers included are only for Vista. Its not for the hardcore gamer but if you just play from onw and then, it should do fine. The computer is not overclocked and it runs many older games good. It has a AMD Athlon 64-bit 3200+(Newcastle) processor and 2GB(1GBx2) Super Talent DDR400 RAM. Overall Review: Worked with only a few flaws in my Ubuntu 8.10 PC. I had to grab a power splitter to reach the graphics card but really you can get one for $1.99 off of newegg with cheap shipping. You just need to get a thin piece of solid material to pry it open when you replace the card. The 256MB DDR2 ram in the graphics card is very useful on older systems that still use old DDR RAM memory.Ĭons: Its not really a con but the heatsink blocks the switch that locks the card down. Pros: It is good for people who just want to play old games(perhaps newer low end games too) at a good fps rate and watch some movies with low processor use.

To get the latest ATI Drivers you can't install the standard versions, you will need to install the AGP Hotfix versions, available here: I used this one:Ģ) Install Realtek ATI HDMI Audio Device driver available here: My autotune GPU frequency went from 600MHz to 670Mhz after switching from stock heatsink to Zalman.ġ) Get a DVI to HDMI cable. Fits fine on low profile card and works better than stock.
Overall Review: To make the card quiet, Install ZalmanZM50-HP fanless heatpipe based heatsink.
Asus radeon hd 3450 driver 1080p#
When using this card to drive my Vizio 1080p 120Hz LCD, the Upscaled and deinterlaced DVD from this card looks vastly superior to picture using same monitor and a standalone progresive scan DVD player.Ĭons: To get most from the card requires a fair amount of fiddling. Pros: This card represents likely the best low profile HTPC AGP based video card you will ever find.
