HTPC Video Cards and the upcoming HD 5450 from ATI

AMD's Cedar / 5450 Series cards. These come in at lower than $100. Radeon HD 5400 series was announced on February 4, 2010. The Radeon HD 5450 has 80 stream cores, a core clock of 650 MHz, and 800 MHz DDR2 or DDR3 memory. The 5400 series is designed to assume a low-profile card size.
Compared to the higher performing 5xxx series cards, the 5450 has the DirectX 11 support but not enough firepower to make the most out of the technology. It has been observed that the Radeon 4550 and Nvidia's GT 220 still outperform the new Evergreen GPU.


So for a low profile 'budget' GPU, would you or wouldn't you grab 1 of these new cards?
