The Axle Radeon HD 5450 is targeted for a very specific audience - inexpensive performance, low profile systems, low power, and home theater audiences. Gaming is not this card's specialty, but then again it is not supposed to be. For better results I would suggest the 5550 line or if low profile form factors are not needed, then the 5570 or higher would be far better choices on purely the gaming aspect of the market, especially when both the 5450 and 5550 are within the same price range.
