When testing with Far Cry 2 using high quality settings the Radeon HD 5450 was found to be roughly 2-3fps faster than the old Radeon HD 4350. Of course neither card was able to deliver playable performance and we recommend the Radeon HD 4670 or greater for playing at 1440x900.

Interestingly, the Radeon HD 5450 leaves the old Radeon HD 4350 well behind when testing with Unreal Tournament 3. That said, with just 31fps at 1440x900, Unreal Tournament 3 which was released back in 2007 seems to be as far as we will stretch the Radeon HD 5450 for gaming purposes.
