Hey guys

I just wanted to know if the ATI 5450 videocard was any good.

My sister needs a videocard for her computer to play sims 3 and it must be low profile.
so i said I would find her a cheap one that can play sims 3 on high.

Yeah, Sims won't need much grunt in terms of video processing power so I would say the 5450 will run the game without issues.

The Sims, even the latest version, isn't too hardware intensive. Furthermore, the Radeon 5450 is HD capable, too, as an added bonus.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them.
