Do you completely confirm that this card works perfectly with Lion? All features, DVI out, HDMI, full hardware acceleration? And what about Chimera itself, does it detect the screen resolution correctly? it's not very important, but with my current 4670 chimera can only detect my 2048x1152 as 1440x1050 (with the theme images very distorted).
On an online store I can get both the Sapphire Radeon 6450 512MB or 1GB, both passive cooling for €38 and €42 respectively... what model did you get?

Thanks, I ordered the 1GB passive cooled model, it should arrive friday or saturday, I'll write here how does it work with my configuration.
I am not interested in gaming, when I got my current video card I put in consideration occasional gaming, but since 1.5 years I've rarely played 3D games (say, 6 hours ?!).

UPDATE
I received the card today, the 1GB model, installed it and windows run just fine, when I tried Mac OS X, it hang on "USBF: 7.106 PXHCDE0xffffff80f48d7000 : :CreateRootHubDevice Bus 0 already taken"
I tried with AtiPorts and PciRoot=1
I'll try some other method to resolve this :S
It was just cache issues, now after cleaning all caches I have this situation:
(From what i see in the Chimera log, the card is detected quite right: 6450, 1GB, FrameBuffer Bulrushes, but AtiPorts are detected =6, that's why I put AtiPorts=3, which changes the detected number of ports.
Update 1:
With "GraphicsEnabler=Yes": after the textmode boot, both outputs (VGA+DVI) are just blank.
With "Graphics Enabler=No": Mac continues loading, but it is detected just as "Ati Radeon HD 6xxx" with no acceleration (DVD player crashes).

I tried your boot, the same as before, after all the text-based kernel booting the screen becomes black on both output.
I tried dumping the bios (With GPU-Z under windows) and here are the analysis:
While the ati personality analyzer for the ATI6000Controller says about the Bulrushes FB:
So the video card itself is correct, 3 ports, one of each type (VGA/DVI/HDMI), but the controller kext in Mac (Lion/10.7.2) has 6 ports all defined as HDMI.
can you post/send me your dmesg and bdmesg outputs of Chimera and kernel?
the other problem is that I don't have an HDMI cable to test with, it might work just fine, (I know that everybody should have one, me not yet
)
Update
I enabled remote access and started with GraphicsEnabler=yes, got black screen, but accessed it with VNC.
It detects the card as "AMD Radeon HD 6450 1024 MB graphics", and it detects my screen (only 1 of the ports), but it is displaying black output, could be that the personality is providing wrong encoder :?
Update 2 (Final)
I borrowed an HDMI cable, and now it is working just fine with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, AtiPorts=3.
DVD player starts fine, Ripple effect on dashboard....., Geekbench starts too, so CI/QE seems to be working correctly...
I still don't understand how do you have DVI and VGA working...

Great that it's working out for you! (Even if it is only over HDMI so far.)
Not sure why you don't have DVI and VGA output.
I post my info below, too. Maybe it's the different DSDT or that I have "iMac 12,2" installed.

Club3d HD 6450, 1Gb RAM here.
The card is recognized like ATI 6XXX and work OOB.
DVD player does not work, but this does not mean that I do not have QE/CI working- I have ripple effect and semitransparent finder bar, and Chess working,and all my players working just fine ( VLC, Movist) and with Hardware acceleration too.
Simply because the card load general ATI framebuffer and not the Bulrushes one, the Mac DVD player does not work.
I do not use DSDT, and does not have any smbios.plist. In my Chmera plsit only the USB fix is there. Nothing more.
Only 3 kexts in Extra- Elliot, fakesmc and NullCPU. Nothing other.
The system boot perfectly and fly really. Pure "vanilla".
Monitor on VGA port ( My old LG M1917A does not have dvi)
With GraphicEnabler=Yes >> black screen, no boot.
With only AtiPorts=3 ( Without GraphicsEnabler=Yes) - black screen, no boot.
With GraphicsEnabler=Yes and AtiPorts=3 >> black screen, no boot.
I do not wish to try further hacks- no need to destroy one perfectly working system.
My opinion is that simply in the ATI6000 kext there is no my card ID, or in the Chimera supported ATI cards there, my hardware ID is missing- the Club 3D are not so widely used cards anyway ( in the last revision of the Chimera, only 2 HD 6450 are there).
Because my system work splendidly,and without specific framebuffer ( only the general ATI), I do not try even further.
PLEASE DO NOT advice the users to enable their GraphicsEnabler=Yes! This IS NOT GENERALLY valid for this card!!
All my experiments are made ONLY on boot line, and not by permanent changes in the Chimera plist- this is important, because if one thing does not work, you will be able to reboot without arguments in the line, and all will be fine.

I do not wish to try further hacks- no need to destroy one perfectly working system.
My opinion is that simply in the ATI6000 kext there is no my card ID, or in the Chimera supported ATI cards there, my hardware ID is missing- the Club 3D are not so widely used cards anyway ( in the last revision of the Chimera, only 2 HD 6450 are there).
Because my system work splendidly,and without specific framebuffer ( only the general ATI), I do not try even further.
PLEASE DO NOT advice the users to enable their GraphicsEnabler=Yes! This IS NOT GENERALLY valid for this card!!
All my experiments are made ONLY on boot line, and not by permanent changes in the Chimera plist- this is important, because if one thing does not work, you will be able to reboot without arguments in the line, and all will be fine.
