G450 or G400

[MiniM3]

I debating over whether to stay with my G400 Dual or get the new G450 Dual, any suggestions?....is there really a significant difference? please advise. thx.

By all means, keep your G400 !

Although the G450 has a dedicated 2nd RAMDAC, the 2ndary output of the G400 is still very, very good and the G400 simply performs better.

Look here for some G450 OCing and the according benchmarks:

An option yor you could be that you slap a fan onto the G400's heatsink and OC it to MAX speeds or even beyond ...

Cheers,

Thanks Maggi, that really helped. I did test out the Matrox 450 and for some weird reason, i find the G400 a bit clearer, maybe it's just me. thx again.
