MIG-31

Today we will be looking at the HD3450 from Diamond Multimedia. The HD 3450 is the lowest-cost alternative to the bigger and badder of the rest of ATI's current 3000 series of video cards. Though it comes with a small price tag, the HD 3450 has a feature set that makes it attractive to many people. The potential consumer that would be most interested in this video card would probably be someone who currently relies on integrated graphics solution (IGP) or a very old video card, and would like to upgrade to something that could handle 1080p video and decode HD and Blu-ray DVD's.

Some interesting results, for a card which is in the same sort of price band as ye olde Geforce 440MX.

Pound for pound / dollar for dollar, today's budget cards are far more capable than a similar comparison in the heyday of DX8, even DX9 (eg. the truly awful Geforce FX5200, for a while the only cheap DX9 capable card).
