I tried gaming on AMD's slowest GPU with Intel's fastest CPU. I have mixed feelings.

I was watching the video, and I didn't realized that you have only 150 subs and 12 likes. Lol your quality is pretty good, I hope you can get more audience! You have a new subscriber :).

Thanks so much! We have plans to up the quality more... it just costs money that we aren't making right now.

It's funny how much crap Radeon gets. When you actually use one, it's fine.

@rem_0 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, its fine, until you look at value. As Sun Tzu once said: "There is no bad graphics card, just bad pricing. Except ATI Radeon HD 2400, its just bad"

It may only have RT as a side effect of sharing cores with better cards but that RT could be used to accelerate non-gaming renders.

I'd argue the A380 is the better choice over the 6400 these days. full av1/hevc encoder support, more vram, similar or better performance, and a cheaper price. 3050 6GB fills a similar niche but is almost double the price.

@Silicon-Insights 2 ай бұрын

I would have much preferred to have tested the A380, it's not only more interesting but also fits into our testing workflow much better. We use Parsec to basically make the testbench a headless PC for convenience, but since the 6400 has no encoding support it just really didn't work and forced us to use a monitor.

Curiously enough, as a new and proud owner of an RX 6800 (non XT), I can say it's one of those rare cases where the performance gain overshadows the price difference. Consider: Retail price (EU): RX 6400 - 130€; RX 6800 - 400€. So, a ~300% cost upscale. But wait, there's more... ;-) Performance factors: RX 6400 vs RX 6800 VRAM (GB): 4 VS 16 (400% upscale) VRAM Bandwidth (GB/s): 128 vs 512 (400% upscale) BUS width: 64-bit vs 256-bit (can you guess? Yup, 400% upscale) TDP(Watts): 100 vs 250 (Welp... Omelettes and eggs, I guess. But you can always undervolt.) I could go on with TFLOPS and Pixel and Texture rate, but the point remains: do your research. Whether you're on a tight budget or looking to spend your cash money, look for diminishing returns, and the best bang for buck. Personally (DANGER: INCOMING DIATRIBE), I've been on a GPU-less lean diet since 2021, when I decided (in what was in insight a pretty -dumb- crazy move) to build myself my first desktop. On a small form factor. Amidst a global pandemic, with worldwide silicon shortages, logistics chain collapses and rampant scalping and hoarding... So I went full iGPU with a Ryzen 4650G. Worked great for 1080p, but struggled on 1440p. So going for a low tier GPU this year was off the table. Grabbed myself an XFX SWFT 319 RX 6800, and *GASP* IT FIT IN MY NR200P case! (barely, but it did) tl;dr researching for budget is cool and exciting, but sometimes you can save and get so much more... There's still great offers in last gen! (looking at you, 5700x3D) Great video!

Technically speaking, weakest AMD card in current generation would be RX 6300, which is a rare OEM card with 2 GB of DDR6. Still does run games from PS4 era at 1080p low-med.

@Silicon-Insights 2 ай бұрын

Unfortunately we're not in a position (yet) to get our hands on those weird OEM GPUs. But I would have loved to see how the 6300 performs.

@jordan-mn6yy 2 ай бұрын

I think the gpu and cpu prices have gone up cause the companies know for the future generations improvement wont happen as drastically as it has been happening so the current gen tech will retain its value for longer. Like for example a i7 6700k from 10 years ago is still nothing to sneeze at. When if you compare that to older compiter tech nothing could survive for 10 yrs and still be even remotely relevant. This reminds me of pcie 5.0 in general like its speed are not as necessary as pcie 4.0 was compared to pcie 3.0

Let's keep things in perspective, shall we? It's AMD's CHEAPEST GPU! Calling it "OK, I guess..." is a massive win because as the cheapest Radeon out there, it should outright suck, but it doesn't.

@dagdamar2000 2 ай бұрын

I think intel missed a golden opportunity, If they had aimed their cards to be entry level that would run on any board and chip they could have been the entry level/ older tech king . But no they went the other way and made a card that can not run without ray tracing. The cost of gpus in Canada is nuts, the cheapest card with 4 gig is $138.99 and it is an arc 310. the next card that does not require RT is GeForce GT 1030 DDR4 and cost a dollar more. this is why for sff the rx6400 is the best choice as manufactures seem to line the stupid idea to put the x16 right next to the power supply. and the x4 away from the power supply. You are forced the use a single slot gpu.

@Silicon-Insights 2 ай бұрын

Not entirely sure what you mean, no GPU is required to run ray tracing, including the ones made by Intel. All of the Arc Alchemist cards (even the A310 I'm pretty sure) support ray tracing, but it's up to the user to turn the setting on if they want. I definitely agree on the PSU thing, pretty much all ITX cases right now either give so little room that the 6400 (and other single slot, low profile cards) are the only option, or so much room that it's basically the size of a normal desktop. It's a shame since there's now these awesome low profile 4060s, but they only fit in the cases where a normal 4060 would also work.

@@Silicon-Insights Sorry yes realized after not RT but Rebar. I am sorry for the confusion. meant to edit but forgot. I have ran across lots of articles saying that manufactures prebuilds do not get the updates to run rebar. you can only enable it on 10th gen or new and 4th or higher gen ryzen.

@Silicon-Insights 2 ай бұрын

I'm not 100% sure about the state of REBAR on prebuilts but it wouldn't surprise me if support was very poor there. That being said, since Intel has strong relations with OEMs, I would be surprised if Intel couldn't get them to enable REBAR support for PCs with Arc GPUs.

Sadly the only GPUs I own are the 4090, 4080, and 6400, and I got the first two from Dell as review samples for the Aurora R16. I'd love to have a ton of budget GPUs but before I staked out on my own, I never reviewed GPUs, so I'm lacking in them.
