AMD’s clear goal at the moment is to finish rounding-off its HD 5000-series line-up in advance of NVIDIA’s Fermi launch, and so far, it’s doing a good job. It’s continuing its success in this goal with the release of the $80 Radeon HD 5570, a card that’s designed to offer stellar media capabilities along with reasonable gaming performance.

Last Thursday, AMD introduced the newest member of its HD 5000-series, the $50 – $60 Radeon HD 5450. From its price-point alone, it’s easy to understand which market AMD was aiming for, and where that’s concerned, the card impressed. So much so, in fact, that we awarded it our Editor’s Choice award. For the money, the HD 5450 is packed and does well to keep NVIDIA at bay… for now.
