The New Most Powerful LP GPU In The World?

I then tried to use the internals of an old dell optiplex that had an i5 3470 in it, however after doing a bunch of testing that system also started vomiting up ectoplasm so I removed the i5 3470 from that and dropped it back into the original little acer system and I upgraded the ram to a 16 gig kit just to give it a better fighting chance in these tests and this is what happened now it's been way too long and we've already run into a cpu bottleneck.

now it's running way better than it was before but it seems like the i5 3470 just isn't enough cpu anymore for this tier of graphics card now I still compared the rx 6400 and the gtx 1650 in a couple of games in this kneecapped configuration and despite the cpu bottleneck for some reason the gtx 1650 still holds onto its crown with a narrow lead so let me throw in the thickest cpu I have for this platform the i7 3770 and see how it stacks up.

yeah I mean it's looking a bit better at least the cpu is not cracked at 100 anymore and this is as far as we can go with this platform so it's going to be fine right well the 3770s still struggling to keep up with the 1650 in this setup but this is pretty much a best case scenario for an older small form factor office pc these systems are really starting to get long in the tooth so now that suspense has built to climax levels it's finally time to drop the little rx 6400 into here.

this offers a really usable gaming experience and one thing that really stands out to me is the power draw i mean it's like 20 watts of power draw and we're getting over 60 frames per second at 1080p high settings in gta 5. although despite the fact that we're just drawing about 20 watts of power uh we're already in 73 degrees celsius so that is not super promising in terms of actual cooler performance.

wow battlefield 5 a 1080p medium is running very well although again battlefield 5 and amd do have a deep hot romance we're getting really high frame rates here for just 40 watts of power draw that is that is very impressive although again the little cooler is quite noisy it's not a great cooler but i think other versions of the 6400 should be good.

okay well cyberpunk at 1080p low settings is not faring quite as well as the first two games but this is still very playable and uh considering that we're getting about 50ish frames per second with 30 watts of power draw like yeah this is honestly quite impressive but yeah anyway we can see how the card runs now so now let's get into the comparative benchmarks between the rx 6400 and the gtx 1650.

so in these older pcie gen 3 office pcs they trade blows and considering that the rx 6400 has basically the same power draw as a gt 1030 i think that's very impressive and considering that it is very hard to find a low profile gtx 1650 in stock these days the rx 6400 is pretty much your best bet but then the final thing that i want to say is amd why did you not put an h.264 encoder on this card so that you can capture gameplay with it it drives me crazy that amd's been doing this with their new budget graphics cards it's 2022 just give us an h.264 encoder but anyway that brings me to the end of the video thank you very much for watching and until the next video bye
