Re: Rohs Hd 5450 Driver Download
Matthieu Kool
Upon trying to update my drivers via Windows' Device Manager max resolution became 1600 x 1200 while monitor has 1920 x 1080. Since something clearly failed, I decided to download official drivers for my system from -radeon-hd/ati-radeon-hd-5000-series/ati-radeon-hd-5450 . I tried forcing a Full HD via CCC, but all I got was a stretched image with terrible refresh rate.
** Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 must be fully updated before attempting to install any AMD driver. All 'critical', 'recommended', and 'optional' (no language packs,etc) updates as well as any Service Packs (SP) must be installed before any attempt to install graphics drivers. If you do not get this message .... keep installing until you do:
Even though the Sapphire HD 5450 is an entry-level graphics card and I don't expect it to achieve great FPS, I am still looking forward to seeing how it handles our testbed of games and benchmarks at the lower resolutions. For testing, I will be running the card though our series of gaming benchmarks, as well as programs such as 3DMark06 and 3DMark Vantage to gauge the overall gaming performance of the graphics card. I will also be comparing the graphics card to some of its mainstream contemporaries. As a budget level card, the HD 5450 will, for the most part, not be purchased to play games such as the ones I am about to run it though. Some games the card would perform well with would be WOW or the Sims, but those games aren't very graphics intensive and what fun would it be if we didn't push the card to the max? One note, though all of the comparison cards were originally tested on an Intel platform and have been retested on the AMD test platform so the numbers will vary from the comparison reviews. These cards were tested with the latest drivers from both Nvidia and ATI.
When it came to overclocking, I used the AMD GPU Clock Tool and to my surprise I was able to overclock the HD 5450 quite high. I started out raising the core and memory in small increments, as I didn't expect much overclocking headroom from an entry-level card. After reaching 750MHz on the core and 1700MHz on the memory, I started raising the frequencies in larger amounts and in the end the HD 5450 was able to reach a final speed of 823MHz for the core and 1802MHz for the memory. This is pretty impressive for a passively cooled budget graphics card. As you can tell from the image, the HD 5450 is not yet fully supported by GPU-Z , so most information is not listed and some such as the bus width is just wrong.
On the other hand, your Radeon GPU is now rather "old" - I note there has been no updated driver for it since a beta release in January 2016. Hence, the performance figures you are seeing are pretty much what I would expect.
But, as @johnebaker wrote, the most critical factor for performance in MEP is the CPU and yours is more than adequate for successful operation of the software since it includes "Intel HD Graphics 630".

Hi @emmrecs you are correct, my connected GPU may be old. I got it from a drawer at my office. so are you saying my builtin Graphics processor (i7- 7700) is superior to the connected GPU (AMD Radeon HD 5450)?
My ultimate intention to avoid unstable situation when I use purchased 4K stock videos. Also to reduce the time to Export to MP4. Magix is always making issues when I use 4k videos. either it will not show in Magix video monitor (blanc) even I enable proxy files creation. All the full HD videos in the same project file work without any issues. So I have to convert the videos to full HD to make it compatible with Magix.
If you have single monitor it must be connected to the Intel onboard GPU for it to be active. To ensure both GPUs are active - if the monitor has 2 or more inputs then the second one can be connected to the AMD - as far as the GPUs are concerned there is a monitor attached to each one, otherwise you need a Monitor emulator commonly known as a Headless Ghost to plugin to the GPU with no monitor connected.
You should not be having these issues at all with 4K if the source video is a standard H.264 .MP4 format. If it is not then please analyse the purchased clips with Media Info app and copy and paste the information from the Text View into your post.
You appear to be on a several versions old graphics driver. Don't rely on windows to find the latest one - go to Intel's website and download from there - unless your PC is a branded machine in which case go to the PC manufacturers site for their latest recommended driver as these often contain customisations for your machine.
Is your 4K video from a cell phone that is recording at a variable frame rate? this is known to cause issues with stuttering, blank preview and sound sync. If so you will need to convert it to constant frame rate with a transcoding progam like Handbrake before importing to MEP. Check the files properties with Media Info app and paste text view back here.
@Scenestealer @CubeAce I updated the Intel HD 630 driver from the intel website (screenshot attached) just after the above video but the result was the same when I rerun the Project file. I use Handbrake very much for non-compatible videos, Handbrake is very useful but it has few issues like it will remove the transparency of video and give a black background.it reduces the size considerably even we choose Production max with the same source video spec. i"m afraid it may spoil the quality of my purchased stock videos.
That your project seems to be residing on the C: drive as I see no other disc activity, so you are reading the files from the C: drive as well as running MEP and Windows. That's a lot of work and a potential bottleneck.
On an earlier post I noticed you said you were going to take out the graphics card. That may be a mistake. The Specs for MEP include the use of a graphics card. It may not be used for some exports but does help in smoother playback if the card is good enough. Again it normally takes up some of the 3D rendering duties that is needed to be done in real time for smooth playback.
Hi, I'm really no expert, the other people who have already commented helped me speed up my exports, 20min videos were taking 30mins to export, but turning on the internal graphics in the Bios settings reduced exporting by half, 20min export in 10mins, not long after i got in touch with Magix who recommended a Nvidia card, I bought a GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6GB Graphics Card, 200+, i installed it, it made playback better but not the export, so i'm still using the internal GPU & exporting in half the movie time, It's fine by me as i needed to upgrade the graphics card
