Sapphire fleX edition offers three innovations over the original HD 6450. Firstly, giving the card its name is the inclusion of circuitry to allow three 'legacy' displays to be connected for triple display output. AMD's Eyefinity technology relies on DisplayPort to drive more than two concurrent displays, unless an active DisplayPort to DVI, HDMI or VGA adapter is used. Sapphire has integrated this additional adapter into the PCB of the fleX edition, allowing them to offer out of the box triple display support. Secondly, the card is equipped with 1GB of VRAM, vs. the reference design 512MB. Thirdly, the card is half-height (with included backplane adapter) and passively cooled.
Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 fleX edition Specifications:
Sapphire offers a number of AMD Radeon HD 6400 series cards - 8 to be exact, so there is obviously some overlap. While AMD's reference specifications left a lot of wiggle room for partner differentiation in clock speeds and memory types/amounts, the addition of fleX technology is pure Sapphire innovation.
