Biggie vs Smalls: The Notorious Dell OptiPlex Showdown - GTX 1650 vs RX 6400!

[@manuelkfc7916]

You convinced me to watch the rest of the video with that PC case fight at the start, there's a little kid in all of us that grows up alongside us. I actually have that exact GTX 1650 GDDR6 model on a static bag rn, after i replaced it last week with a brand new RX 6600 for 186$. Tho the new GPU runs marvelous for all my steam library, i still have fondess for the GTX 1650. That card saved me during the chip shortage in mid-2022 at 200$ for my first PC, and it ran whatever game i threw at it on 1080p/60fps medium-high settings (excluiding any AAA game past 2019 or heavily modded older games) without the need for a power cable or worry about heat, since the gpu never goes above 60°C anyways. Never seen a RX 6400 in person, but the model you showcased really looks starving af with no mass compared to the 1650 lmao. If the user reading this doesn't care about new AAA games (like me) and needs a decent GPU to run games they missed over the years without any extra effort (like putting it on a Dell OptiPlex lol), then buy a 1650, they're going less than 100$ on the used market rn.

@@gamingwolf7895 Yeah, it works well with all my games without issues, except in Space Engineers when i tab to a different program and then fullscreen back into the game, causing artifacting to appear for a few seconds, and then dissappear, doesn't happen in any other game. But reddit told me similar 6600/6700 XT users have this problem too lol.

I picked up my 4060 prebuild recently and I forgot how light and compact compared to my 30L built PC with 4070S.
