AMD’s Radeon HD 5450: The Next Step In HTPC Video Cards

Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 is another foliage-heavy game. Normally it’s less punishing than Crysis at its higher settings, but as we’ll see Crysis scales lower than Far Cry 2 does.
In short, Far Cry 2 is unplayable at any DirectX 10 setting we can use in the benchmark. High quality is as low as it goes, and gives us virtually nothing over Very High quality. Even in-game, the 5450 is going to have trouble here without switching to DX9.
Compared to our other cards, the 5450 is a little over half as fast as the GT 220, and 1/3rd as fast as the 5670. It once again loses by a small amount to the 4550 however

Is this a test to see if people will read articles without pictures, because I think I failed... Maybe next time just pull the article until pictures/charts are ready.bonsai57 - Saturday, August 7, 2010 - link
The article states: The Next Step In HTPC Video Cards.(Home Theatre Personal Computer Video Cards??)
Am I right in this assumption?
If so, then why are the benchmarks more orientated towards gaming??
Obviously this is no gaming card.
Please give a true outlook as to how this card performs connected to a TV.
Is it OK? Is it Junk?
My intent for this card would be a connection with a plasma display or perhaps LCD.
Streaming video through the intenet such as Netflix or Hulu would be one concern.
Playback through a Blu Ray Player on PC another.
Perhaps my perception of this card and the subsequent review are irrelevant.
Please don't game a card that's meant for something entirely different.
Perhaps I have miscontrued the intent of this article, if so I appologize.
