Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	0.35	0.36
Recency	4 February 2010	1 March 2006
Maximum RAM amount	2 GB	256 MB
Chip lithography	40 nm	90 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	19 Watt	48 Watt

ATI HD 5450 has an age advantage of 3 years, a 700% higher maximum VRAM amount, a 125% more advanced lithography process, and 152.6% lower power consumption.

ATI X1800 GTO, on the other hand, has a 2.9% higher aggregate performance score.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Radeon HD 5450 and Radeon X1800 GTO.
