I am using that RX 6400 on my HP Z240 E3-1240 SFF HTPC,. Works great for it's purpose. Haven't used it much for gaming, though. Thanks for the great vids, have good one. Alan, from Canada. 😆

I'm very happy with the overall performance of the 6400, especially with the not needing external power. In some of the slimmer Small Form Factor PCs its a great option.

Appreciate the comparison. With the RX 6400's deficiency on PCIE gen 3, I'm curious how much space there is between the performance of the RX 6400 and low profile RX 550 on a Gen 3 system. Is that a comparison you've already done?

I haven't compared those two directly, but in the results list I do have against the RX560, the 6400 was about 50% better on the older PCIe bus. i5 4670 and i5 10105F.

thanks for the vid Paul 👍

I did some benchmarking on these 2 cards plus the 6500XT and the A750 with ryzen 3600 & 5600 on both PCIE 3.0 & 4.0 MoBo's and the only game that really used the PCIE 4.0 was Forza 5, CS2 on low ond fortnite medium they performed within margin of error. 6500XT + 5600 ran at 250FPS average in CS2 low (1080p no upscaling) on a B350 MoBo and edged out the A750, because that card really needs 1440p to stretch it's legs.

Forza 5 DOES have some quirks, doesn't it. Interesting to see how close all of these are with the 3600 and 5600.

Still hoping I can try an ARC at some point. I don’t see any used ones for sale yet and they are still not cheap enough to enter my wheelhouse. Also, does anyone actually play cyberpunk? LOL

I do see a lot of people use CBPK for benchmark testing, but you're right, I don't many people actually still playing it. I bought Startfield because I thought it would be a great game and good for benchmarking and it's neither. I don't see many ARC cards used yet, which is also an indication of people being satisfied with buying them. Hopefully, you'll be able to find one soon. Maybe when Battlemage comes out, people will be letting some of the ARCs go.

thank you so much, now i will save to buy the a380 thought i dont have any pci-e 4 but i do have re-bar so i think it should be no problem at all. i think i need to upgrade my ryzen 3 3200g, it could make a little bottleneck

I have a 5600g that im thinking of using for a home server/htpc. I know AMD doesnt have the best transcoders so im thinking about paiting it with an Intel or Nvidia card. Im curious if this can do some decent emulation as i would like to have some wii and switch games in the mix.

@ThatPaulGuy

18 күн бұрын

I haven't tried to use the 5600g in a server, I'm just running a NAS, but you may not end up needing a separate video card with that CPU especially for emulating some older technologies. That being said, the encoding capability of this card was very surprising, keeping up with the Arc A750 that I use for editing my YT videos. Quite honestly, for the price, its very hard to beat.

What if your not interested in Gaming or Video Encoding, but would like to punch up some AI usage, like resizing photos with Topaz Photo AI. I keep hearing that getting a GPU makes much more difference than doubling your CPU power... ?

@ThatPaulGuy

In terms of raw power a GPUs job is to crunch numbers and do math very quickly, (part of the reason for their high usage with crypto). GPUs are getting even more complex now, though, with future generations having AI processors built in. I have to imagine some of those will have a major impact on photo editing and asset creation.

I wouldn't rule out PCIe 3 with Rebar yet, AMD B450 / x470 chipset with a Ryzen 5 3600 or better can run Rebar or Sam on PCIe 3, Intel may not be able to run it, but AMD can.

Already done it and ReBar helps a lot mitigating the PCIE 3.0 issue in both CS2 & Fortnite, but there is still something going on in Forza 5.

I am rooting for Intel, words I never thought i would say , haha!! More competition is always good for the consumer. As NVidia has abandoned budget gpu's and AMD is not competing in the budget cpu space, Intel is becoming the bang for the buck leader. An i3-12100f and an A380 is not a bad starting point for a budget system!!!

@ThatPaulGuy

I agree. Both Nvidia and AMD are both trying to continue giving us the next big thing and charging exorbitant prices, while Intel has set very reasonable prices for the products on the lower performance tiers, making them perfect for someone on a budget to start with new parts.

How about testing the newer ARC drivers with better DX11 support? Please list the drivers you use in your graphs.

For the AMD I was using 24.1.1 I believe and the Arc is running on 31.0.101.5445 . I always try to test with latest drivers and use DDU in between to remove the old drivers. I should make a note to say that more often, thank you.

To be fair... the RX 6400 still has issues in a Gen4 slot. The Gen3 slot is just compounding the shortcomings of the design.
