I'm just glad we've finally got something in this size, that's more powerful than a GT1030 or an RX 550 from Yeston... Now we don't have to sacrifice so much resolution or performance for 1080p gaming or emulating.
RIGHT?? My favorite low-pro GPU of all time was the Sapphire 7750. I used that attached to an i3-3220 for years as a backpack travel PC to play Titanfall, FFXIV, PUBG, and Overwatch. I can't believe how good it worked and for how long! It even got above 94C in my SFF case and never once dropped clocks or slowed down. It was a BEAST! Been waiting ever since for something with just as much value and this 6400 looks to be it. Time to resurrect the Backpack Build!
@@Phiidyn I think I have a 7650 somewhere. Only the DDR3 version though... I want to see someone put an RX6400 onto something like an OP latte panda alpha. Have yourself an original gameboy sized pc.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the short run of 560's Yeston released last year, literally had to go through 4 vendors and 3 different sites lol, it doesn't help that it looks exactly like the 550 model, and that makes the 6400 looks like a bargain on so many levels, considering I had to pay $250 for something that is slightly slower than a 1050. we really need more single slot lp card options
Techdweeb covers the RX 6400! Today is a good day!!! Also yes, the gpu is so adorable! Really wish they upped the BUS to 128bits, that card would just fly off the shelves.
Could you also try including PCIE Gen 2.0? I feel that it would be nice as my own ThinkCentre has PCIE 2.0, and so do many other Optiplexes and generic office PC's.
NGL, it would be a lot more powerful than the usual suspects, but it will hamper the performance of this GPU by quite a lot, but still an upgrade nonetheless 😂
I picked up a 6500xt for $200 and I'm loving it. I wish the 6500xt was 150 and the 6400xt was 110-120.. but this is the new high priced world we live in. I wonder how Intel will shake up the market when they release their GPUs. I feel like by next year this card will be worth half, lol.
I got one recently from micro center for 140, came with a voucher for the last of us as well. Slapped it on a Optiplex running Linux mint. And I'm finally able to play ff7 remake and other games
Thanks for this review. The performance of this GPU and your game demonstrations are so impressive that I bought one today on Amazon. I ordered the XFX Speedster SWFT105 Radeon RX 6400 for only 137.99 (plus tax) U.S.! I figured I should buy it before the price goes up again. Hopefully as more GPUs at this price point continue to come out on the market, the price of other GPUs will drop as scalpers find that their products are not moving and just collecting dust. I will gladly pay 200.00 to 300.00 for a new GPU that has the same value for for the money as this card does. I refuse to pay 350.00 bucks for a used GPU who the seller claims was "only used by my grandmother on Sundays, and was never overclocked or used for bitcoin mining." Yeah sure buddy. Thanks again.
Fits perfectly in my Dell Vostro SFF from 2012. Swapped the motherboard for a modern one since the 6400 uses PCIE gen 4. Running on a i5 12400f, 32gb of DDR5 ram. Perfect emulation solution. Can play Cyberpunk at 60fps on low at 1080p too!
Would love to see a video on emulation. I have a GTX 1650 low profile in my emulation/HTPC and would like to compare it to the GPU in upscaling emulators
I was waiting for your review, just bought this wonder, and all I hear from the YT game is : "crappy, outdated and ... Not RGB 😂" . Well i'm glad you did this . By the way great work (as usual), I specially glad you never take your needs (as a tester/youtuber) to recommend product. This gpu is not perfect, Yes this one can't stream/ encode gameplay but on a hundred persons, how many need to stream their gameplay except for pro streamers (who just don't go with LP GPUs anyway) ? Keep doing great.
Thanks! And good points. I think you're right, the number of people that actually stream or record their gameplay is probably pretty tiny, no reason to make a big deal of it!
Yes, widescreen QHD gaming on a single slot budget GPU. I'd watch that. Lol. If you can swing it, getting a discrete capture card could be good. Some of the footage has frame pacing issues, and I think it's from recording on the same hardware you're playing on.
Best upgrade ever for my Dell Vostro 3471. Which I had already upgraded the cpu from I3-8100 to i5-9500. It's an excellent tiny sff gaming machine now.
Man, you're really making me wish I hadn't pulled the trigger on getting the T600 a few months ago...Just curious though, I know you don't care much for ray tracing, but have you tried Minecraft with RSR and ray tracing enabled? Minecraft is one of the few games where I think ray tracing makes a huge impact on visual quality.
Yeah that always happens with PC hardware though. As soon as you buy something, a few months later we get something better and cheaper. It's happened to me countless times over the years - it's a never ending cycle! Yeah I tested Minecraft with ray tracing in my 6500 xt ray tracing video. And yeah, I agree, Minecraft with ray tracing is a sight to behold. I think lots of people want ray tracing gpus for Minecraft alone. I'm definitely going to include that in a future video where I test ray tracing on the 6400.
Wish we had a 16 CU 6400 XT @ 75W no 6 PIN and LP instead of the 6500 XT... :/ Interesting how the heatsink of the Sapphire extends beyond the PCB (=17cm/mini-ITX board), unlike the Powercolor/XFX(=155cm).
Just stuck this into a HP prodesk 600 g1 Sff with a i5 4570. Runs amazing. Coming from a 2070 laptop that a broke suddenly having a nice lil budget desktop build that totaled 180 USD thanks to some good secondhand finds this has made me into a desktop fanboy
Oh, a brave hunter with a beef with, well, beef, why skip the cows in the Witcher 3? That would be a glorious hunt! When talking about Witcher, I'm a bit surprised with the frame drops. I've played it with R9 380, high settings, medium post-processing, hairworks off. It dropped into the 40 when galloping through the forest (not that I noticed), but I didn't have any jarring drops. I don't hate this card - it's low profile, and plenty is forgiven to a low profile. I'd watch the wqhd gameplay video, but honestly, I'd prefer 4k, for an actual sane reason. As an LP card, it's a great fit for a living room media pc. Almost every new TV is 4k. So, I'm wondering how many tricks do you have to pull to make the image look good enough. That said, this has to be tested on a cheap 4K device, as a big brand, expensive oled viewed from a distance will look perfectly fine, played at 1080p
In The Witcher, part of the frame drops issue is because the FPS always tanks when I start chuckin' bombs. I am running a build focused on cluster bombs, so when I throw a bomb its actually like 6 bombs at once. When I do a benchmark without throwing bombs the 1% lows are always much better. Good suggestion about the 4k test. I think you're right. This form factor lends itself to SFF PCs. I'm pretty sure RSR at 1080 upscaled to 4k is the closest we'll get, but even that should look much better than native 1080p. I'll give it some tests and make a vid if it's worthwhile.
Thank you for the videos about this GPU. It is the best GPU that can fit inside the Minisfourm MS-01 mini PC, at least as of writing this and as far as I know.
I don't think the difference will be as big as you'd expect. 15% difference between 4.0 and 3.0 on average (same with 2.0), which is less than the 6500 xt. The 6400 isn't a super powerful GPU, so the lack of bandwidth on 3.0 and 2.0 won't affect it as much as the 6500 xt. It's still a good capable GPU, even on older platforms.
@@TechDweeb My XFX 6400 ran hot in my Dell 3020 sff, above 70*C in light gaming with High Performance turned on in windows and 53*C during idle or watching RUclips, I was like WTF this card sucks in this Dell OptiPlex, and it's still winter, just imaging during the hot month no thanks! lol I think the full cover heatsink shroud had something to do with it as much as it being in a tight space close to the PSU which Dell should have had a rocket scientist figure out the PCIEx16 slots should have been moved closer to the cpu on any of their OptiPlex SFF MB's to take advantage on the 2 slots for the double slotted gpu bracket specially with Gigabyte's RX 6400 that have. The Low Profile Sapphire Pulse and Power color RX 6400 GPU's have the uncovered gap's between the bracket, to where the heatsink/fan starts, this is much better for cooling the exposed caps from my observation.
@@TechDweeb that's a heck of a difference, seeing as the 1030 d5 is so much weaker than the 1050 non-ti, and the 1650 was a significant jump past the 1050 ti...
I like this tiny card for SFF builds, but the loss of FPS in PCIe 3.0 can be massive in certain games, as we can see in the recent Techpowerup review, some games have a little loss, but others...
Wait, is this thing's cooler's fin stack ONLY toward the ends oh the card, making it essentially a bidirectional blower style instead of blowing it just anywhere?? Looking at the broadsides, it looks like the fin stack is nonexistent on those sides and the shroud directs it toward the ends, and looking at the pics on Google, it appears the low profile bracket actually has perforations that can release heat toward the back?? Makes me wonder why they didn't just make it a true blower style, since this IS a 55w card, and is built particularly for tightly packed, miniscule cases, such as my inwin bp655. I may hunt down a lp single slot shroud off an xfx card if I can, and replace the saphire one, once my sapphire comes in.
That's a very good point. I think I agree, a blower style cooler would make sense. One thing that is good is there is a single heatpipe that runs along the length of the fin stack on the underside.
@@TechDweeb Powercolor's low profile RX 550 is a great example of what I'm referring to, except they totally blocked airflow at the bracket. So that sort plus the perforations I see in the Google pics of this one's lp bracket would make this thing great given that heatpipe
I've heard that there's a program out there that lets you run any two gpu's as one for modern titles. would be great to make an mATX build with both the RX 6400 and the T 600. That way, I can keep PhysX of the T 600 and have the performance of the RX 6400.
thank you for the review! i have a pc with a i5-4670k and no gpu, some people has recommended me to get a 1050ti, but it's very expensive in my country, i was wondering if it'd be better to get this one for my pc, or if i'd miss too much performance compared to the 1050ti
This offers much better performance than a 1050 ti (20% more). If the price of the 6400 is similar or less than the price of a 1050 ti, then definitely go for the 6400.
Good Afternoon, I had instaled one RX 6400 in my dell vostro 3470, perphaps when i playing games the temperature is too high ( 90 C° or 194 F°). Do you have this same problem if the computer of video ? Do you any suggestion to help me ? Thank you for your time.
@@LakeHowellDigitalVideo BUT THEN, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRUE FOR EVERY OTHER 4GB CARD LIKE " RX 570 "........ BUT NO ONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THAT ???????? PLEASE CLEAR MY DOUBT IF YOU CAN ......
You'll get a 15% CPU bottleneck with that processor, and you'll lose about 14% performance being on PCIe 3.0, but that doesn't mean that you can't use it and have a good gaming experience. Considering the price of other GPUs I'd say this is a great choice for a system like yours.
@@TecnoMundoTutoriales well it depends on the price of everything in your area, there's a good chance the 6400 will still be your best option. Something like a 1050 TI would be a better pairing for your processor but if the 6400 is about the same price then I would just go for that personally
I have a secondary games drive, which is HDD. I only put the games I'm currently playing on my SSD, which I swap out pretty often. 90% of the time I'm running them off the HDD.
No way - I WISH igpus were this powerful! Compare my benchmarks to other performance videos on the 3400g. I like the 3400g, I think it offers good value for the price, but the 6400 is about twice as powerful of a GPU as a 3400g, as far as I can tell.
Depends what you mean by content creation, but probably not tbh. It's a good gaming GPU, but it lacks features like encoding, so it's not ideal for recording gameplay and streaming.
A bit late to the party but yeah, a nice little GPU, i wanted a budget Gaming Pc, RX6400/3600X/16gb Ram/SSD's on an LG C3 42inch OLED. DCS running at med/high 60ish, smooth and looking very acceptable, will tweak more. Got it for £115 ''MSI RX6400Aero'' amazonWarehouse. Also have RTX4090/3090.
Hello Im planning in buying the xfx version but people says it overheats too much. By the way this card does what it says in every gpu brands overview , a small but with a heavy punch computing graphics entry card. P.D. Those 70c are safe for this little guy ???
I wouldn't worry about the higher temps. The gpu is designed to throttle at higher temps. It's not unsafe to let it run hot. Running hot is more of a comfort thing, with the fans spinning and generating heat. Obviously you don't want your gpu to be throttling and reducing performance, and that will come down to your case, but it'll always be 'safe'.
@@TechDweeb ok, Thanks, yeah you are right, is that Im not used to amd high temperatures cards. By the way did you think this beefy little guy can run The Callisto Protocol?
If you're wanting to stream, if you had your heart set on this GPU then I'd suggest getting the best CPU that you can for your budget. Something with lots of cores would be ideal. If you get an intel CPU, like a 12400 or 12100 (non-f) then you would get access to Intel QuickSync that would let the built-in processor encoding handle the streaming. The 12400 is an amazing CPU for the price, that's definitely the one I'd go with, personally, because that will give you room to upgrade the GPU someday and not be held back by the CPU.
Well it only pulls 50w, so I doubt that you'd need a 350. I've used GPUs that pull more power than this in systems with a 220w psu. But I suppose it depends on the rest of the components you're using.
I don't think you'd have an issue. This GPU performs about 5% better than a GTX 1650 and as far as I can see the 1650 can handle anno 1800 just fine (there are videos on RUclips). Obviously it will depend on the rest of your system for performance but I think you'd be happy with the 6400 in Anno.
6400 if you're just doing gaming and want the best performance. T600 if you're streaming or recording or also using it for productivity (like video editing) and are willing to sacrifice some gaming performance for extra features.
@@macedok89 yeah i still run a i5 4th gen and i only have a 250 watts PSU which can't be upgraded due to the 16 pin Motherboard Connector and i still hit my head with the decision if i want to buy it or not. I saw different tests on pcie 2.0 and some Games really have bad times with the the card while other games Run almost the Same with 4.0
@@hxshi9987 probably still an ok decision if you don't want to spend anymore to get the low profile gtx 1650 or try to run another gpu with an external riser / power supply. unfortunate they decided to cut down the rx 6400 in this way
I think the 12100 would do pretty well because it has Intel QuickSync built into the hardware. I haven't tested it though, I only have the 12400f which doesn't have QuickSync (none of the F series processors have hardware encoding). I personally would feel confident going for a 12100 even if I needed hardware encoding.
It won't be a great choice because you'd be getting a 30% CPU bottleneck. It would definitely be an upgrade, and you will see a performance increase, but your CPU will hold you back.
This is going to come off extremely rude so I’m sorry I’m advance I think that your videos are amazing and extremely informative and filmed very well but your voice is just extremely annoying I can’t tell if you make it sound like this intentionally or if it is natural if it is natural then I’m sorry for leaving this commment I’ll delete it if I find out overall though I love this channel and will be subscribing
I don't mind at all. I know the voice isn't for everyone. It's a bit of me, and a bit of an act. I have a condition called VPI (Velopharyngeal insufficiency) which causes my voice to be more nasally than most people's. It was so prevalent when I was a kid that my nickname was The Dweeb when I was in gradeschool. I found out I could control the nasally-ness of my voice when I concentrate on the way I pronounce certain sounds, and I basically trained myself to talk 'normal' as I became a teenager, and now my 'normal' voice has barely a hint of The Dweeb, I can talk like a normal guy all day, but The Dweeb has sort of become my alter ego and I can slip into that voice at will. And then for these videos I embellish it by acting extra dorky.

The Low Profile Sapphire Pulse and Power color RX 6400 GPU's have the uncovered gap's between the bracket, to where the heatsink/fan starts, this is much better for cooling the exposed caps from my observation.
@@TechDweebI’ve heard the sapphire has better cooling
The PNY Low Profile Nvidia RTX A2000 6GB and 12GB cards are currently king of the LP's!
Tru
Yes, but at what price?
did you have trouble taking off the screws to put on the small bracket?does it take a normal screwdriver to take off the screws?
Great video mate
Thanks buddy :D
Think this would run as well on 3.0 if run at 720p? (Don't at me I'm keeping my monitor til it dies lol)
Yes! I think it'd work a treat at 720p.
@@TechDweeb thanks!
@@TechDweeb wait, so still better than dgddr5 version of the 1030?
Oh heck yeah it is. Like, a LOT better. This is closer to a 1650 even at 3.0 speeds.
@@TechDweeb that's a heck of a difference, seeing as the 1030 d5 is so much weaker than the 1050 non-ti, and the 1650 was a significant jump past the 1050 ti...
OH HELL YEAH, ITS THE VIDEO I ASKED FOR
i have dell optiplex 3060 that has only 240 psu. will this gpu work for me?
Required Power for this card is 350w
Yes it will definitely works in this psu
You should try RSR it works amazing you could achieve High fps in any game just Run at 1080p on a 4k tv it will upscale it and fps will be same .
Aye do the SSF please, because that is what this card is for
Will do!
Thank you for doing my request.
Just for you buddy 😄
I like this tiny card for SFF builds, but the loss of FPS in PCIe 3.0 can be massive in certain games, as we can see in the recent Techpowerup review, some games have a little loss, but others...
Can I put this in a old optiplex without buying a new power supply?
Yup
i bought the msi aero itx version for a z97 system with a i7 4790s .16 ddr3 2400 mhz
Wait, is this thing's cooler's fin stack ONLY toward the ends oh the card, making it essentially a bidirectional blower style instead of blowing it just anywhere?? Looking at the broadsides, it looks like the fin stack is nonexistent on those sides and the shroud directs it toward the ends, and looking at the pics on Google, it appears the low profile bracket actually has perforations that can release heat toward the back?? Makes me wonder why they didn't just make it a true blower style, since this IS a 55w card, and is built particularly for tightly packed, miniscule cases, such as my inwin bp655. I may hunt down a lp single slot shroud off an xfx card if I can, and replace the saphire one, once my sapphire comes in.
That's a very good point. I think I agree, a blower style cooler would make sense. One thing that is good is there is a single heatpipe that runs along the length of the fin stack on the underside.
@@TechDweeb a heat pipe too on this thing?? Oh, WHY did they half-ass it 😡😡😡
@@TechDweeb Powercolor's low profile RX 550 is a great example of what I'm referring to, except they totally blocked airflow at the bracket. So that sort plus the perforations I see in the Google pics of this one's lp bracket would make this thing great given that heatpipe
I've heard that there's a program out there that lets you run any two gpu's as one for modern titles. would be great to make an mATX build with both the RX 6400 and the T 600. That way, I can keep PhysX of the T 600 and have the performance of the RX 6400.
Bro arw you recording with software or capture card because it is stuttering
Yeah, CPU recording. The recording/streaming performance via the CPU will depend on the game, some handle it well and some don't.
thank you for the review! i have a pc with a i5-4670k and no gpu, some people has recommended me to get a 1050ti, but it's very expensive in my country, i was wondering if it'd be better to get this one for my pc, or if i'd miss too much performance compared to the 1050ti
This offers much better performance than a 1050 ti (20% more). If the price of the 6400 is similar or less than the price of a 1050 ti, then definitely go for the 6400.
@@TechDweeb thank you for answering my question! i'll look into getting the 6400 or 6500 if i find a good price😁
Don't be fooled. He is quagmire
Giggity
Wonder is he looks like Abe?
no use for better FPS if you can't stream them...
Does it stutter while gaming?
It feels like its stuttering a lot in battlefield 1
Great video btw:)
There were some stutters at the start of the match, but they cleared up quickly and none after that.
Good Afternoon,
I had instaled one RX 6400 in my dell vostro 3470, perphaps when i playing games the temperature is too high ( 90 C° or 194 F°). Do you have this same problem if the computer of video ? Do you any suggestion to help me ? Thank you for your time.

Heya TechDweeb. You ever get your hands on that Retroid Pocket 2+?
Just arrived in the mail yesterday 🤓
@@TechDweeb So awesome! I'm excited, lol
I think the MAJOR PROBLEM THAT 6500XT has is the 64bit memory bus...... that causes all the stuttering and frame time problems
It doesn't stutter on a PCIE 4.0 motherboard unless you try to push high settings (exceeding the VRAM).
@@LakeHowellDigitalVideo BUT THEN, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRUE FOR EVERY OTHER 4GB CARD LIKE " RX 570 "........ BUT NO ONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THAT ????????
PLEASE CLEAR MY DOUBT IF YOU CAN ......
Great vídeo, i like this gpu, goes fine with an i3 8100, 16 gb ram 2666, anda pcie 3.0 ?? Thanks
You'll get a 15% CPU bottleneck with that processor, and you'll lose about 14% performance being on PCIe 3.0, but that doesn't mean that you can't use it and have a good gaming experience. Considering the price of other GPUs I'd say this is a great choice for a system like yours.
@@TechDweeb great thanks a lot, and wich gpu You think it won't bottlneck with mi system??
@@TecnoMundoTutoriales well it depends on the price of everything in your area, there's a good chance the 6400 will still be your best option. Something like a 1050 TI would be a better pairing for your processor but if the 6400 is about the same price then I would just go for that personally
@@TechDweeb ok thanks a lot for your help, you won a sub
Where did you play games ? In nvme ssd or in hdd.
I have a secondary games drive, which is HDD. I only put the games I'm currently playing on my SSD, which I swap out pretty often. 90% of the time I'm running them off the HDD.
Do you think that an i7 6700 with 32 gigabytes of RAM and the RX 6400 will give me good results in emulation as well as in not very demanding games?
This is equalent to vega 11 igpu ryzen 3400g
No way - I WISH igpus were this powerful! Compare my benchmarks to other performance videos on the 3400g. I like the 3400g, I think it offers good value for the price, but the 6400 is about twice as powerful of a GPU as a 3400g, as far as I can tell.
is there a variant of this card that supports pci 3.0?
The card supports pcie 3.0, it just doesn't run at full speed. There is no version of this GPU that runs out full speed on pcie 3.0
Hi, is this card is good for content creation?
Depends what you mean by content creation, but probably not tbh. It's a good gaming GPU, but it lacks features like encoding, so it's not ideal for recording gameplay and streaming.
A bit late to the party but yeah, a nice little GPU, i wanted a budget Gaming Pc, RX6400/3600X/16gb Ram/SSD's on an LG C3 42inch OLED. DCS running at med/high 60ish, smooth and looking very acceptable, will tweak more. Got it for £115 ''MSI RX6400Aero'' amazonWarehouse. Also have RTX4090/3090.
good for 1080p 30fps in most games
Hello! it's have any opportunity to undervolt with curve on MSI Afterburner ??
Only deal breaker for me is there is no video encoders available but T600 does have a one.
what monitor do you recommend to buy for Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 6400 Garning 4G?
good video but no offence but your voice sounds very nasal
Hello Im planning in buying the xfx version but people says it overheats too much. By the way this card does what it says in every gpu brands overview , a small but with a heavy punch computing graphics entry card. P.D. Those 70c are safe for this little guy ???
I wouldn't worry about the higher temps. The gpu is designed to throttle at higher temps. It's not unsafe to let it run hot. Running hot is more of a comfort thing, with the fans spinning and generating heat. Obviously you don't want your gpu to be throttling and reducing performance, and that will come down to your case, but it'll always be 'safe'.
@@TechDweeb ok, Thanks, yeah you are right, is that Im not used to amd high temperatures cards. By the way did you think this beefy little guy can run The Callisto Protocol?
if I want to stream and want to get this gpu, what cpu shld I get?
If you're wanting to stream, if you had your heart set on this GPU then I'd suggest getting the best CPU that you can for your budget. Something with lots of cores would be ideal. If you get an intel CPU, like a 12400 or 12100 (non-f) then you would get access to Intel QuickSync that would let the built-in processor encoding handle the streaming. The 12400 is an amazing CPU for the price, that's definitely the one I'd go with, personally, because that will give you room to upgrade the GPU someday and not be held back by the CPU.
those poor cows
Minimum power supply ? Amd say 350 but i shoud run on lower?
Well it only pulls 50w, so I doubt that you'd need a 350. I've used GPUs that pull more power than this in systems with a 220w psu. But I suppose it depends on the rest of the components you're using.
@@TechDweeb the market for this is prebuilds with bad psu as i see it. Its the most efficent gpu to performance on the market
how much fps we can get in anno1800 on this gpu? actully i want to purchas eit for playing
city building game
I don't think you'd have an issue. This GPU performs about 5% better than a GTX 1650 and as far as I can see the 1650 can handle anno 1800 just fine (there are videos on RUclips). Obviously it will depend on the rest of your system for performance but I think you'd be happy with the 6400 in Anno.
@@TechDweeb thanks for reply..
will it be compatible hp prodesk 400 G4 sff + 16gigs ram + 180 W PSU ? Thanks in advance.
Test this thing at PCIe 3.0
does the small fan get too noisy?
No not at all, surprisingly. It's one of the quietest GPUs I have.
The stutters OMG how can you just gloss over the stutters!
Should I get the T600 or the RX 6400 in my optiplex 3020 sff? I have a i7-4790 too
6400 if you're just doing gaming and want the best performance. T600 if you're streaming or recording or also using it for productivity (like video editing) and are willing to sacrifice some gaming performance for extra features.
@@TechDweebThanks also would the power draw be too much my old AMD card was 50w if I get a Rx 6400 would it break the power supply in my optiplex?
this is one card I am very curious to see in pcie 2.0
Its performance drops dramatically
want to see 6500xt on pcie 2.0??

@@majima1506 i figure this. a shame since a lot of cheap and decent haswell office pcs still run this
@@macedok89 yeah i still run a i5 4th gen and i only have a 250 watts PSU which can't be upgraded due to the 16 pin Motherboard Connector and i still hit my head with the decision if i want to buy it or not. I saw different tests on pcie 2.0 and some Games really have bad times with the the card while other games Run almost the Same with 4.0
@@hxshi9987 probably still an ok decision if you don't want to spend anymore to get the low profile gtx 1650 or try to run another gpu with an external riser / power supply. unfortunate they decided to cut down the rx 6400 in this way
What about eSports titles? Does it run well?
Gonna do a video on that, stay tuned!
What CPU did u upgrade to the 5800x from?
10400 was my previous PC. The 5800x was my new main PC build (ruclips.net/video/eaaK4T_M_wQ/видео.html)
@@TechDweeb I saw the comparison video with the 10400 vs 12400
I think so i3 12 won't be able to handle cpu encoding
Can you try?
I think the 12100 would do pretty well because it has Intel QuickSync built into the hardware. I haven't tested it though, I only have the 12400f which doesn't have QuickSync (none of the F series processors have hardware encoding). I personally would feel confident going for a 12100 even if I needed hardware encoding.
@@TechDweeb ya can you test i3 12100f + 6400?
Can you do a low profile 6400 video with fsr on the latest games?
I would love to see what the T1000 could do or even the p4000. I wonder with the recent update to xenia if the rx6400 fairs better now?
those quadro cards are insanely over price 😂 i dont know why but yeah its like that.
Please add a 3440x1440px resolution and how many Hz of refresh you can set? 144Hz ?
I have an i5 3570 with a gt 1030 low profile on my pc, if I upgrade to rx 6400 low profile will I see a big performance increase?
It won't be a great choice because you'd be getting a 30% CPU bottleneck. It would definitely be an upgrade, and you will see a performance increase, but your CPU will hold you back.
@@TechDweeb well, I don't have more graphics options either, the 1650 and 1050 are very expensive and the 1030 is getting short to me
is spongebob filming this
very cute gpu, but the performance is far from cute

I got this 6400 but my games are not running good. What I should do?
This is going to come off extremely rude so I’m sorry I’m advance I think that your videos are amazing and extremely informative and filmed very well but your voice is just extremely annoying I can’t tell if you make it sound like this intentionally or if it is natural if it is natural then I’m sorry for leaving this commment I’ll delete it if I find out overall though I love this channel and will be subscribing
I don't mind at all. I know the voice isn't for everyone. It's a bit of me, and a bit of an act. I have a condition called VPI (Velopharyngeal insufficiency) which causes my voice to be more nasally than most people's. It was so prevalent when I was a kid that my nickname was The Dweeb when I was in gradeschool. I found out I could control the nasally-ness of my voice when I concentrate on the way I pronounce certain sounds, and I basically trained myself to talk 'normal' as I became a teenager, and now my 'normal' voice has barely a hint of The Dweeb, I can talk like a normal guy all day, but The Dweeb has sort of become my alter ego and I can slip into that voice at will. And then for these videos I embellish it by acting extra dorky.
@@TechDweeb never heard of that glad to have learned something new today do what makes you happy and apologies again if that came off rude thank you for being so nice about it 🤍
