Intel's integrated graphics (IGP) 3000 performs better than the 5450. Don't waste your time or money with it. If you want a cheap graphics card, get a 6670 at the very least.

If OP has a computer with an 1155 CPU, it's almost guaranteed his integrated graphics will be faster. Of course you can run Minecraft with the 5450, but it's not a card you should buy. It's made to output video for web browsing and everyday tasks, not any kind of gaming.

Dear god no...

Don't get that overpriced crap

You could get an HD 4850 for about the same price(most are actually less expensive than the 5450), but it performs 3-4x better

You could probably find another card for a better price-performance range but this was just an example
