N450GTS Cyclone 1G D5-OC graphics card

The MSI N450GTS Cyclone 1G D5-OC is a GeForce GTS 450 card with 1GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus. It connects via a PCI Express 2.0 16X slot and drives displays up to 2560×1600. The GPU core clock runs at 4000MHz. This unit is sold as used stock rated at 80% to 90% new condition and ships without original packaging or accessories.

Suitable for legacy upgrades and basic display

This card fits older systems needing a discrete GPU with a PCI Express 2.0 interface and modest 3D capability. It can handle desktop work, media playback and lighter titles at lower settings. Buyers wanting modern API support, higher frame rates in current games or a factory-sealed product with a full accessory kit should look at newer models.

1GB GDDR5 capacity and 128-bit headroom

The 1GB frame buffer and 4000MHz memory clock provide enough bandwidth for 1080p desktop use and older game textures. At higher resolutions or with modern asset-heavy titles the 128-bit bus and limited VRAM become bottlenecks. The 2560×1600 maximum resolution is supported, but playable performance at that resolution will be limited to less demanding workloads.
