I will try to borrow some card, if I just succeed to find one... But I strongly disagree with you what comes to the 'betterness' of HD 6870/6970! A HD 5450 has the same 'levels' in video acceleration, so those cards would not offer any improvement. And as I do not have any need for heavy 3D acceleration, HD 5450 is well enough for my purposes.xeno74 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 4:54 pm Many thanks for testing! It's a surprise, that the graphics card is the issue. The Radeon HD 5450 is a good graphics card for weak AmigaOnes like the A1222 but for your X5000 it is better to use a Radeon HD6870 or 6970. I think you should test another graphics card.
Additionally: the TDP max is only 19W for 5450, whereas for 6870/6970 it is 150/250W! In my case that extra power consumption would just warm the climate, without any profit . Not to mention the extra noise which the fans on those "powercards" create, compared to a passively cooled 5450...
The 'best' is not always the same as the 'most powerfull'!
Ok, thanks... It is interesting to hear whether it has any 'side effects' on your system.I will also test youtube-dl in the next weeks.
