With a dedicated graphics market that has been in the doldrums for months, companies are trying to win customers by launching increasingly modest models. That is the case of the RX 6300 2GBa GPU that began to be seen many months ago, but that AMD has not been encouraged to market until recently, at least in China, because that is where an image comes from that points to a possible launch that would be just around the corner. the corner.
The RX 6300, as its name implies, is a fairly modest graphics card. If the 4GB of the RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 can be enough to run many games with limited graphics settings and at 900p (this depends on each case), the 2GB of VRAM incorporated in the RX 6300 seems to be too little for the times. current, so the most recent model aims to be aimed at running very old video games or emulating platforms that are not very demanding in terms of graphics processing.
Another negative point, and this is shared with models such as the aforementioned RX 6500 XT and 6400, is the limited bandwidth of the PCIe bus, since they only occupy four lanes. Consequently, every time the available memory buffer is saturated, the graphics card will lose performance if it is mounted on a motherboard that supports PCIe Gen3 or earlier.
Looking at the specifications, it seems that the RX 6300 is not an attractive product to prolong the life of an old computer, although the 32-bit memory bus should give it a low consumption profile, which is seasoned by its price about 60 dollars at least for chinese market.
And as its name implies, the RX 6300 is a graphics card that uses the RDNA 2 architecture and not the RDNA 3 of the RX 7000. To make matters worse, the most modest models of RDNA 2 graphics cards lack support for the AV1 video format, both play it like render it, while higher-end RX 6000 models can play it (rendering was introduced with RDNA 3/RX 7000).
The RX 6300 aims to be aimed mainly at very low-profile computers, so it would only be recommended for those who are clear about what they want and for what.
