I'm building a starter pc for my youngest siblings mostly for two player games like fighting games and co-op games there twins this is perfect thanks for the in depth review
I grabbed an Optiplex 5040 SFF with an i5-6400 and 8GB 1600MHz LP DDR3 for about $55 on eBay. Got it, upgraded the RAM by adding 16GB more RAM topping it up to 24GB, added an i7-6700K, a 256GB NVMe SSD and the RX 6400. It's a pretty decent little gaming PC. I use it in my living room to play Battlebit, Halo Infinite, etc. The 6400 really shines in games that are 2018 and older. Newer games CAN be played, not as well but they definitely are still good.
Very happy with my RX 6400, i only play a few games on the PC these days, Star Trek online being one, and this card does that with ease on top setings, and the card draws a insane low 53 watts and lower depending on the game, with my entire PC only drawing 101 watts while playing the game, very happy with hat in the insane time of ultra high lekky bills. Oh and all other gaming i do on the series S, another gaming device that again only draws up to 74 watts, so i have not had to give up gaming due to insane lekky bills, very happy with that.
With two monitors in use tied to my Dell OptiPlex 7070 and its i5-8500 CPU and Windows 11 Pro, the temperature would on and off exceed 60 C, and thus the fan would turn on and off as well. But to prevent this, I set the color setting to 8 bit rather than 12 bit on the second monitor, that being my TV. Now with both monitors using 8 bit, the fan is off all the time during general non gaming use, such as 1080p 60 fps YT use and Netflix use.
I'm new to PC gaming, thought I'd have to drop thousands of dollars to get into newer games. Bought an Optiplex 3040 with a 4th gen i5 and 16 GB of RAM with the RX 6400 Low Profile GPU. I tried playing the new Silent Hill 2 remake even though my specs were WAY under. Finished the game no problem on low tinkered settings and would have probably done medium settings on 720p in retrospect. I paid $325 for everything in total. If you're willing to make some graphical sacrifices, modern PC gaming is in reach.
This is awesome to learn! I have HP prodesk that has a I5 10500 and grabbed this gpu because some games on Dolphin were lagging like RE1R. I figured the 6400 would help with that but didn't know it would help this much. I'm actually shocked.
@@BigSparky1316 I don’t think there is currently a game released that won’t run at 40-60 fps on low-medium settings. I was getting 67fps consistently with high graphics settings on Forza Horizon 5.

Just some tips for guys building a small form factor pc, try to get a newer or more powerful cpu, you can find some with i5 8500s, make sure u have ddr4 ram with atleast 16gb. Nvmes or ssds are not to expensive and make you pc feel alot snappier and try not to bottle neck your gpu
I got this in my victuals 15l with a ryzen 5 New world -low 60fps(still looks good Lost ark very high 60fps+ Wow,Poe other older stuff high settings 60 fps Had apex in medium settings I think got 60fps. Just had to add ram 8 wasn’t enough. I have a ps5 for high end stuff so for pc exclusives I’m happy
Thinking about getting one of these for an ITX build but they are still very expensive in the UK £144 roughly ($183USD)....Can't find any Intel ARC GPU's either without being ripped off.
Just bought this card for a exgoverment HP G6 800 (i7 10700) but I should have got a DDR6 version of the GTX1650 as my system is PCIe3 and the RX6400 only has 4 PCI lanes. The RX6400 can run at PCI 4 speeds but most of repurposed PC gear is still Gen 3 PCI. Some games the PCI 3 bandwidth limits have minimal impact.
I just got a HP 400 G7 SFF and just bought this card. When you install it is it just good to go after that? I had no idea it could play modern games I just got it for gamecube games emulation etc.
how youve maintain the temp of the gpu for 80c? because mine it will go up tp 100c and my screen black out, my unit Dell OptiPlex 9020 i7-4th Gen 16GB ram paired with amd rx 6400 same yours. thanks!
Yeah they are extremely expensive. They are alright GPUs but the RX 6400 beats the hell out of it in price to performance because it's so damn expensive.
Besides the loose of pcie 2 or 3 vs 4 that this gpu is very dependent on, you are getting massives CPU bottleneck in several games...switching to any i7 or similar xeon should improve some games ❤
It would be a marginal improvement over i5 4th gen. Basically is the same but with a 65w tdp instead of 80w. The i7 would be a real and noticeable improvement
I have an HP Slimline 290-p0040d and I've already upgraded to 16gb ram and I wanna replace my inno3d GT 1030 low profile with the one in the video. Is it compatible?
you played fortnite too well and I'm inlcined to believe the FPS counter was really 88, because this gpu has no hardware encoding, meaning you have to use one of those difficult capture cards :D. That recording was messy because of that, right?
I have a Lenovo M720e with a gt 1030 2 gb ddr 5 that runs nice. Wanted a tiny gou boost so i bought a rx6400. Nice surprise my lenovo is limiting the gpu to 32 watts max confirmed this in the rx6400 driver under stress test. Renders this gpu useless..// caution ppl
So I have an OptiPlex 3020 SFF lying around with the i5-4590 and 8gb of ram. I think the max wattage is 255w from the psu so my main concern is if I get this card, is there any chance it would exceed the power limit or would there be plenty of headroom still left?
This is pretty late, but any Intel from about 4th gen and above will work great. I have an i5-3470 and it can get a little bit bottlenecked in very cpu intensive games, but they are both at 100% in the vast majority of games.
The fastest one you can afford. I had mine in a Dell with a 5th gen i5 and it was decent, but when I threw it into a computer with a Ryzen 5 3600 it really was impressive how much you could get out of this little guy. I got mine used for 80 bucks. Good luck to you. I5 4th gen minimum. Keep in mind that the dells that have 8th gens in them are really getting cheaper and cheaper.
It’s because the 6400 doesn’t have an onboard video encoder and he didn’t know that. You can see in clips he’s getting 60fps but it still looks like a clip show. That’s uploaders fault not the card.
Looks like the i5 is bottlenecking the GPU. On Riders Republic the CPU is 99% and GPU is only at around 70%. Try the card with a Ryzen low-end, like R3 1200 or even R5 4500, results could be much better.
I put it in an optiplex 7050 sff. Far cry 3 (fhd, chill on, 60hz vsync) was at 90 C after 10 minutes and going up. If I hadn't shut it down I think it would have burned up. No, this is not a good option for such machines. The rx 6400 itself is a complete cretin something, in a small machine can't cool down in to big machine pointless. The worst is the xfx which heats the capacitors because of the casing.
I tested the GPU by putting it to the max with a GPU test software "FurMark". What then happened was that the CPU fan shot up in RPM's when the GPU reached the 80C mark, but is noticeably increasing at less than 70 C, even though the CPU during this test is still at low temperatures such as 38 C. Does this happen on the 7050 ? I am using a 7070 SFF. Anyhow, this CPU RPM increase keeps the case internal temp down when needed. Under this 1920 x1080 FurMark test, the GPU hovers around 82 C max. I am not much of a gamer, so I don't know if this is good or not.
If only the gpu temp 82 C is "not good, but not critical". If the card is xfx, it also heats the capacitors because of the cover plate, and then it's a problem. It didn't even stop at 92C for me. I think if I left it for a long time it would simply burned above 100 C or camed thermal throttling.@@helifynoe9930
i put this in a optiplex 3070 sff and the temps were fine, most of the dells have a blower style cpu fan so i put a 80mm rgb fan on the front to draw air into the case. After that it ran great no chill or anything.
Mine does it too, dell's fan control on the motherboard is weird and ramps up ahead of time. If it has a spot for a fan on the front id put one in with a 4 pin splitter of the cpu fan. The cases kinda suck for airflow on their own@@helifynoe9930
Fake news. Put this card in a real pci 3.0 system then run the same system with a gt 1030 ddr5 2gb and the gt 1030 on that system will crush the rx 6400….. diff story on pcie4 board.
