Radeon 4290 + Radeon 5450

[Mir96TA]

If I do crossfire (Hybrid) with 5450 what sort of perfomance or benfit I should see ?
CPU = AMD 1050 T
MB GA-890GPA-UD3H
OS Win 7
Display = 1024X1080 or 1980 X 1080 (Dvi or HDMI)
Sound : May be bit streaming if the GPU or Audigy 2 Platinum or On board RealTek 8892
Usage will be mostly WEB, HD Contest (Off Air) + Blu Ray, HD DvD
May be some gaming like Diablo 3 (If it ever come out)
Goal is smooth play back Video and Web sufing

Your onboard graphics should handle that easily.

With bitstream Audio and Playing HDCP Content it appears choppy or Not so fluid
Plus I would do some lite gaming.
I would like to know gain by HD 5450 addition

IF you want some lite gaming a 5450 is not gonna cut it, you need AT LEAST a 5570 or 5550 GDDR5

Not even with Hybrid Crossfire with integrated ATI Radeon HD 4290 ?

Well, I havnt seen any reviews with hybrid crossfire, but seeing as you would have 120SPs between the 2, unless you are gaming at something like 1024x768 with everything turned down. Its not going to be much fun.
