Venerable Enemy Territory: Quake Wars runs smoothly enough at the low-detail settings, and the discrete HD 5450 is over 2x faster than the IGP and better than the GeForce 210.

But one needs considerably more oomph to run Far Cry 2 via the DX10 path.

The frame-rates are higher in H.A.W.X, sure, but we've determined that the HD 5450's architecture isn't anywhere near the standard set by an 17-month-old GPU that now costs around £50 (HD 4670 GDDR3).
