AMD RX 6400, this is the first low-profile and cheap graphics card for PC

It is not a graphics card for moderately demanding gamers, far from it, but it does not pretend to be either. It is the youngest of all the sisters and represents, as we say, the entry range to the series and above all, the option for those who play with low settings and who have no pretensions of large FPS on screen, which will affect a very high price. adjusted that make it very attractive.

AMD RX 6400: cheap graphics for the most basic

It does not mean that it is a GPU for office automation or work, nothing like that, but the truth is that it is not a graphics card to play a game with aspirations to have a high FPS rate at 1080p. It is a compact card in low profile ITX format that is perfect for a low gaming team or for the so reborn PC HTPC or SFF.

Let’s know its characteristics to get a better idea, since AMD has not given it much hype for reasons that we do not understand, since it is clearly the “people’s graphic”. The RX 6400 integrates a GPU Navi 24XL manufactured by TSMC at 6nm and integrates in his die 5.4 billion transistors for a single chip 107mm2.

It has 12 CUs that integrate 768 shaders with 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs and 12 Ray Tracing units, all with 32 KB L0 cache per WGP, 128 KB per array on L1, 1024 KB on L2 and 16MB from Infinity Cache.

We will have the mentioned 4GB of GDDR6 at 16Gbpsa Boost frequency of 2,321MHza memory bus of 64 bit and therefore a bandwidth of 128GB/s. As we can see, very brief figures that are also reflected in its consumption and its price.

A GPU without a PCIe connector and for all audiences

And it is that with only 53 watts TDP requires a single power supply 250 watts, which makes it perfect for any current PC, even compact PCs with weak PSUs. Its performance is up to its specifications and it is that it throws in FP32 nothing less than 3,565 TFLOPSwhich is not bad at all if we take into account the power of the chip.

To get an idea, we talk about a performance above the GTX 1050 Ti and at the height of the RX 590, but far behind its superior sister RX 6500 XT by more than 50% of the performance by far.

It is therefore not a GPU to look for a minimum performance in gaming with FPS above 60 or resolutions above 1080p, but a fresh, cheap GPU (the RX 6400 has an MSRP of $159we will see the prices in real stores…) and that it must have a large stock because it cannot be used for mining by Ethereum miners.
