I wish you showed the power consumption of the Nvidia GT 520 compared to the AMD HD6450, deciding which card to buy.
Btw the Nvidia GT 520 has feature set d support which adds hardware decoding for VP8/WebM, i don't think the AMD HD6450 can do this, maybe you could ask AMD?
See what I mean? There are reviews useful for the users and reviews useful only for this or that hardware company who appears better than the competition in the review.
hajj_3, I can't post links in here, they are deleted read this (and google UVD 3.0, HD3D) :
The HD 6450: DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.1, Eyefinity, DirectCompute 11 si OpenCL 1.1, UVD 3 and HD3D.
DirectCompute 11 is similar to Nvidia CUDA.
Eyefinity - multiple monitor support
HD3D - 3D display support - works on any display with HDMI 1.4a, no need for active glasses like for Nvidia, passive glasses are OK. No need for 120Hz display, 60Hz is fine.
UVD3 - provides hardware acceleration for media content like MPEG2, H.264, XVID, DIVX, MPEG4, MKV, AVC, VC1 regular or high definition video formats. You can use Media Player Classic (free), WinDVD (free) or PowerDVD. Features picture-in-picture dual stream decoding. Offers the best quality for video playback with pixel sharpening.
GT 520 - 29W load, 10W idle
HD 6450 - 27W load, 9W idle.
Neither is good for gaming, only for video and the regular stuff.
No, it can't play Metro 2033, not even on "Very High"
