What Owners Say

Owners like that it runs cool and needs no extra power cables, making it a drop-in upgrade. The usual gripe is it chokes on modern games past low settings thanks to the small memory.

Pros
  • Plays 1080p games without a fuss
  • Runs cool in tiny cases
  • Needs no extra power cables
  • Great for budget PC builds
Cons
  • Only four gigabytes of VRAM
  • No hardware encoding support
  • PCIe 4.0 x4 cripples performance

Verdict

Our verdict on the RX 6400

The RX 6400 is a low-profile, no-power-connector card made for basic gaming, but its limited memory and cut-down bus cripple performance.

Get it if you need a tiny, fanless graphics card for a basic office PC or a very small media build. Skip it if you want to play modern games at decent settings, as its limited memory and bandwidth will choke performance badly.

Buy it if…

  • You want a basic display adapter for an office PC with no games.
  • You need a low-profile card for a tiny prebuilt desktop upgrade.
  • You are building the cheapest possible PC to play old esports titles.
