The key to this card is the media playback capabilities. Having ATI AVIVO technology you can now watch those high definition videos with no more lagging or hiccups that you once saw back in the days when the CPU did the majority of video processing This card is excellent for video use, whether it be for a workstation PC, a casual use PC, or even a home theater PC. The Sapphire HD 4550, however should not be taken lightly because of its size. While it was last in all of the video benchmarks, some of the tests were actually playable at the settings tested at. Lighten up on the settings between low and medium and you should be able to pull off reasonable frame rates for some casual gaming.
