When The Predecessor Is Better Than The Successor 

Frankly, there are cheaper display adapters out there that are not nearly as insulting...

@IcebergTech I honestly don't get how expensive it is. I understand the costs to make it is there, but even then, it is just a sad excuse for a 'cheap' display out.

Love Iceberg's honesty here :D

@@BudgetBin I don't think it was ever meant to be sold, hence why it's technically "unreleased" it was only meant for OEM, not retail sale and now that people started making videos on it, there's now a demand for the few out there

Shoutout Iceberg 💪🏻

That memory bus and bandwidth is tighter than my anus

Even cpu has 64 bit, what a nasty cut down

It seems that's because the VRAM chip count is halved from the 6400. You'd have to be royally demented to design a chip with a 32bit bus in this day and age.

@@jm036 when you look at board of the garbage one it has a chip missing because the pads are still there I wonder what chip could go there

@@NicVandEmZ Clearly for the RX 6400 versions of the board

@@Nikkerston glad you enjoyed it! :) I love older hardware that performs good despite how much time has passed.

@@BudgetBin same here

Welcome to the 2020s. When The GPUs are overpriced by inflation and scalping and companies tell it's because It's an AI accelerator.

the 3050 6GB at least have a good baseline performance for a 75w card. The 6300 is a repeated time of 2014 (GTX 750Ti)

At least the 6300 is just an obscure OEM card, which the 3050 6gb isn't

The 6300 seems to be the 1630 of AMD

@@sehnsucht1999But the rx 6400 & 6500 xt exist… Both are worse

The 3050 owners are crying on the comments 😭

Thought they shoveling rx 640 in there. Theres a weird dell oem version thats cut down to almost nothing.

@@ParticularSky could be, i mostly work with HPE and Nutanix gear now. there some real weird OEM cards i see in servers now, either to add KVM output or to integrate with an intelligent rack. $30k gen 10 HPE servers that have a $300 add-in card just to add VGA output type of thing (iirc it's also an AMD chip) for example.

@@chazbotic My old optiplexes had hd 7470 and a hp z workstation with a nvidia gt 230, which I didn't know was a thing till throwing it out.

@@ParticularSky had a GT330 in an HP Deskpro a long time ago, was pretty good for a slot-in GPU for airport kiosks that had to run a local DFP and simultaneously an advertising television on HDMI. most don't even know there was an nVidia 300 series.

@@Klatchan honestly I feel like people haven't been talking about this lately. I agree.

Phew I thought I was the only one looking for the 710, I have a RX 560 right now and I’m so sick of AMD right now this thing has been holding back my poor 12 core 32 GB PC for a YEAR NOW I just want a working GPU it wasn’t even USED intensely it was just a headless server 😭

@@naraydaniels7832 The 710 is a great card if all you want is display output and you don’t care about fancy stuff for high-end monitors (like DSC or 4k over 60Hz). Low power, cheap, readily available brand new, supports up to 4 DP streams…

HUGE ANIME BREASTS

The first one!

Would gave made a good duo with the infamous GeForce FX5200 then

@@Russell970 honestly at this point, you may be right.

@@BudgetBin btw even the 6500 XT is worse than the 5500 XT, not only less VRAM and less PCIe lanes but also lacks a dedicated video encoder for streaming/recording, However the RX 6400 might be the only viable thing to use in an SFF PC because it's performance is acceptable and is close to an RX 570 and is probably better than an ARC 380.

@@Russell970 there is now an 8GB version of the 6500 XT but it's still 64-bit VRAM bus and I think it still lacks the encoder. And yes, I'm afraid that the RX 6400 is sadly the best SFF gaming card on the market (that isn't two slots wide and/or outrageously expensive - I'm looking at you, NVIDIA A2000 - although that was never really a "gaming" card). For those who want decent gaming performance in the SFF form factor and DON'T want to spend over $100, you might want to consider the Quadro K1200, which, despite the K in its name is NOT Kepler but Maxwell, so it'll have driver support... for a while... and it doesn't suck; in fact, it should be considerably better than most cards in its weight class. Probably better than a GT 1030. With 4GB of 128-bit GDDR5 memory, it doesn't lack for VRAM, either. At least not at sensible settings and games that don't ask unreasonable things of it. I'm wishing I went this route but before I knew to, I went with a GTX 1050 4GB that I found at a steep discount. Still, I think I might have come out a lot cheaper with a K1200. Ah well. It's like my grandmother always said: "Live and learn. Die and forget it all." The K1200 might be a good one to cover in a video, maybe in an appropriately-sized old Optiplex?

@@Russell970 5600xt ties the rx 6600 and sometimes beats it and the ipc of the 5700xt and a 6700 the same i modified the power tables on my 5700xt and overcl ocked to 2450mhz and got 6700 performance granted using way more power rdna 1 and rdna 2 give the same performance clock per clock but rdna 2 uses less power and clocks higher

@@josephdias5859 Nah the RX 6600 is way better than the RX 5600 XT

@@baroncalamityplus Yeah I really don't get why the price is so unexplainable high, but I think it could have just been a bad negotiated deal all around for what should have been some cheap OEM parts to be made.

@@BudgetBin Maybe though replacement part direct from Dell/hp and similar is tend to be overly expensive compared to a comparable off the shelf part especially stuff meant for business/professional computers. Not sure if any dells came with a 6500 but if you you had to get a replacement gtx 1650 or similar from dell it would probably be way more expensive than one you could get on amazon and the workstation variants would probably come with some expensive quadro equivialent instead.

@@knifemind nice, I hope I can get them all in my possession someday.

One of these days I'm going to set up a test and compare the 6400 to the 6500. The 6400 has fewer CUs, but Dell's 6500 is clocked so low that it might actually be an interesting matchup.

How tf you can get it for 5$, was it broken?

@@Marcus_sk_cz thanks! It means a lot. I hope to bring more entertaining content to yah!

@@Rabbit_AF not too bad! Still a bit high for me. Nonetheless, I hope it serves you well.

I found my RX 5600XT is way more powerful (performance and power usage) than what I use it for infrequent indie games and emulation. (Though having a 3 fan big GPU still looks fun in my PC.) Honestly I think I just need an efficient GPU (or even a a CPU with a decent iGPU) that provides just enough hardware acceleration. At idle the RX 5600XT uses around 30~32 watts to around 150~180 watts under load.

@@abunk8691 thank you I try my best every video to make it fun and informative, and of course and I am glad I could make it better for you :) It is pretty hard to find even the 5300 yeah. Honestly you are pretty on the nose, the 5500 XT is fairly easy to run into.

@@eday244 yeah I agree pc hardware is in a weird spot right now for new stuff. Like cpus are good relatively speaking and can be cheap. But GPUs? Well, I think something needs to change soon since I feel like the entry level/mid range options are disappearing slowly. But yeah, I am glad you enjoyed this one! I try to make it so if someone likes what they see, they can usually easily go out and get it!

I dont think it’s fair to want top-of-the-line GPU compatibility from an mid-end GPU

@@user-xc3rs3qm2o the Fury Nano was a cool card!

Still rocking my Nano, I thought it was one looking at the thumbnail.

I'm no native English speaker so please tell me how to say the cost in the past was 200€ and now it is 100€. Because I would try to bring the verb to cost into a past form. And costed seems like it could be the correct past form.

@@MasticinaAkicta I can't believe I missed the opportunity to make that joke. Nice one.

@@dima6969 I agree, this hardware starts becoming redundant as a result

@@thienchaiphetmadan2115 will do! :)

@@ChuwiEnjoyer you might actually be on to something.

@@KimPossibleShockwave the Vega 64 is one heck of a card! I gotta get my hands on one someday.

@@BudgetBin I managed to scoop mine from eBay for just over £100, which is pretty good since people were asking for £160--£200 for the card on average. :] What baffled me though is that they wanted, on average, about £300 for a Radeon VII: You might as well just get a newer card for that money.

@@KimPossibleShockwavei think some are so expensive because they work in MacOS

@@chinesepopsongs00 That'd make sense, yeah.

@@AlfaPro1337 I wouldn't say quite full nvidia (yet) but they are struggling with gpu sales. I don't know. It is a difficult time for chip processing all around.

I don’t see them utilizing as much AI bs as Nvidia does

@@tezcanaslan2877 Because they have nothing.

@@Pong_3k will do! :)

I noticed that lol. And if you are talking about the 2016 game, for sure.

@@ivolol I feel this too, but I also feel other marlet trends like AI are to blame for these weird prices on GPUs

@@cmdr_talikarni I agree the 7600 is a steal of a deal. It could be the next mid range budget king if it hangs around those prices.

@@dupond948 thanks :)

@@GzeeBRII you got me! I knew I was going to miss something in this video. Im glad you do read the fine print :)

@@RoswelliVideos to a small degree, I agree. But the overall price is what makes this card not good. If it was $100 new, like the GT 1030, I honestly might have praised it, despite its numerous flaws.

@@TommyCrosby to be fair, there APUs are pretty nice and well rounded for what they could cost depending on the level.

I can barely find any in the Americas!

lowest available down here in Australia is RX6400 & they are about 😱$275AUD😱

​@@shaneeslick that's nuts. clearly something unhealthy is happening in the lowest segment. maybe that's a stunt by AMD to stop us from buying the cheapest cards and go for APUs instead? lol when i bought my rx6400 it was "only" 120$, and i thought that's a bit more than it should be! goodness...

​@@user-xe6sm4jv8f Yes, there's something weird with RX6400 pricing. I live in Indonesia, lil bit north of Aussie. The price here is : RX 6400 = $120 - $157 RX 6500 = $125 - $165 RX 6600 = $200

@@Dominik12335 Exactly. Why spend $200 on an "entry" level card when you can spend $200 on an entry-midrange card?

@@mysterium364 it's funny you should mention it... well... I won't spoil it but stay tuned for my next video.

@@DexterBee-zv9io I agree, some old hardware still can serve a great purpose even after all support is dropped. I love the R9 290.

@@readycheddar I actually might do that if I can get my hands on both cards. Especially the 5300 XT.

@@ASMarrucate Honestly not a bad idea. I might consider that if I get my hands on one.

@@LexyDaShmexxy I can see that yeah. I wonder how far it could be pushed if you soldered another Samsung chip on the empty spot it has on the board. It would probably be able to make good use of the lanes having it.

@@BudgetBin i have a suspicion that one COULD do that but obviously it requires skill, then we're also playing with the chances that it might flat out not work

@@LexyDaShmexxy it would have to be done very well, and then you would have to alter the BIOS to even register the RAM anyways. Might be worth it, 5 years from now? Lol

it also has lower clocks

@@TryboBike I agree, but at a price point of nearly $200 new, I feel like there are better options out there for the consumer.

@@BudgetBin Its Dell and its practices of asking $1000 for a basic 32gb of memory. Those are corporate prices. Once these start cropping up at usual places - like AliExpress or used market - they are going to cost $20.

Thing is even for that the 6300 is still problematic at times since it doesn't have any video decoding capabilities.

@@kindzadza134 don't jinx it!

@@Fender178 the 6400 is also a low profile card in many cases which, for a cheaper price, seems like a no brainer for SFF builds.

@@zepplinc20 thanks :)

@@violetlobo892 glad to see you did :)

@@BReal-10EC that is a fair point honestly, I just wonder how many of these cards are in circulation and what the prices for them will eventually become.

@@skorpysk while that would be the case, back in the day, these office workers might have used something like the GT 710, which was $40 new. The price is heavily limiting on why you should get this card. So you would hope to expect it to be able to do a bit more for $20. But yeah, I agree the 5300 is a near little card.

@@BudgetBin no i meant like, when the company provides the PCs. or for some school PC

@@skorpysk oh you mean like including it with the PC?
