The Radeon RX 6400, which has been available for OEMs since January, has now also been released for consumers by AMD. It sits at the lower performance end of the RDNA2 GPUs and is compared to the Geforce GTX 1650 and 1050 by AMD. The official MSRP of the Radeon RX 6400 has been set at $159.
AMD recently released its low-power consumer graphics card, the Radeon RX 6400, without any big announcements, after having been available to OEMs since January. This means that the Radeon RX 6400 will be on the market earlier than expected, since it was speculated that it would be released in May. The embargo on custom designs from board partners has also been lifted, many of which come in low-profile and single-fan designs. Asrock and sapphires have so far presented their Radeon RX 6400 models in the versions mentioned, while Asus the graphics card also in the Dual fan design showed.
Technical data, comparative values and prices
The Radeon RX 6400 is the weakest of the RDNA2 graphics cards released to date. It is based on the Navi 24 GPU with 768 Stream processors, making it a slimmed-down version of the Radeon RX 6500 XT. The card ships with a base clock of 1923MHz, a game clock of 2039MHz and a turbo clock of 2321MHz. The memory is 4 GiB GDDR6X, connected via a 64-bit memory bus. Factory overclocked versions have not yet been presented by any board partner, which is why it can be assumed that the Radeon RX 6400 will not be offered with higher clock rates. Connections are HDMI 2.1 and Displayport 1.4.

None of the models presented so far require an external power supply. The required power of 53 watts is to be provided by the PCI Express interface alone. Chinese media were also allowed to test the Radeon RX 6400 for the market launch – there is about one to see Sapphire Pulse or XFX Speedster model. In these synthetic tests In terms of performance, the Radeon RX 6400 landed between the Radeon RX 6500 XT and the Geforce GTX 1650 from Nvidia.
AMD itself reportedly compared its Radeon RX 6400 to the Geforce GTX 1650 and 1050, both 75W solutions from older generations. In games, the limited 64-bit memory bus is said to be a performance barrier. Furthermore, the RX 6400 suffers from the same problems as the RX 6500 XT, which has to make do with a PCI Express 4.0 x4 interface and a missing H264/265 encoding function.
The official MSRP of the Radeon RX 6400 has been set at $159. This is $40 below the RRP of the Radeon RX 6500 XT. The competition for Nvidia has not yet issued any of its graphics cards from the Ampere series for such a low price. The MSRP of the Geforce RTX 3050 is meanwhile at 259 US dollars, but it cannot be found for this price. in the PCGH price comparison the Radeon RX 6400 has already found a home. A model from Asrock is listed there for a minimum price of 185 euros and is therefore not far from the RRP.
