Passive with 2GB of memory
Showing some more love for HTPC users, HIS has announced yet another card with a low-profile PCB - the HD 6450 Silence 2GB. As you can guess from the name, the card features noiseless cooling and comes with 2GB of DDR3 memory.
Spec wise, the HD 6450 Silence 2GB packs 160 Stream processors, ticks at 625MHz for the GPU and features 2GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1000MHz on a 64-bit memory interface. Due to its low heat output, HIS used a slim, single-slot, passive heatsink.
The I/O part is pretty standard as it feature DVI, D-Sub and HDMI outputs. In case that HD 6450 is too slow for your own HTPC, bear in mind that HIS also recently rolled out a much more powerful HD 6670 card. The new HIS HD 6450 Silence 2GB is already available over at Newegg.com with a price set at US $59.99.
