Pros: Put this in an old Dell sff with an i5 4570 and 8gb ram. It's for my son so its mostly used for Roblox, Minecraft, and some other light games. The computer is hooked up to a 32" 720 tv. I can get 60 fps at 720 on horizon zero dawn with mid to high settings. Haven't played with the settings too much though. In the sff case it can get up to 82° c.
Cons: The only downside with the GPU is that it runs a little hot in a sff case. The Dell 3020 sff doesn't have very good airflow, if any. I took the shroud around the CPU off which helped. I'm also having problems with the free xbox game pass and raise the game bundle from AMD. The product verification tool doesn't recognize the GPU is installed. I tried everything I could find online but no luck. Apparently this is a common problem. I have a support ticket open with AMD but nothing back yet.
Overall Review: Great card for light gaming in a sff case.
Pros: I've been using a GTX 1050 for a while now and I had the chance to upgrade my GPU to a RX 6400. I'm super happy I can finally play games at a decent fps. Pros: Budget Friendly Easy to Install Great results!
Cons: None! I love it!
Overall Review: Great board for those who want to play triple AAA games at decent frames and don't want to break the bank!
Pros: -Extremely low power usage, uses around 50 Watts, no PCIE cable needed for power -Will last much, much longer into the future with updates than many other budget cards, especially used ones, as it is newish hardware, just scaled down, so it gets features like Smart Access Memory -Fan is perfectly silent -Comes with plate for low profile and for regular, swapping is just a few screws in obvious places -About the same performance as a 1650 -Sapphire TRIXX compatible for monitoring, testing, etc, and of course a top tier brand in general -Does H.264, H.265 and HEVC decoding up to 4K
Cons: -Not that powerful, but that should be obvious in the sub $200 market -PCIE lane is only x4 of the total x16 length, so without PCIE 4 it takes a performance hit (all new-ish logicboards of the generation of this card are PCIE 4, except 520 models, but even some 550 models are sub $100 , just something to be aware of) -Doesn't do AV1 decoding (doesn't effect me personally but something to be aware of) -Notably, has no specialized media encoders (a bigger deal, but not enough to knock an egg off considering this card's market position, but this can be a downer depending on what you want to do so it's a more serious flaw than these others)) -Overclocking is not possible (... again, for the market segment this card is in, ok)
Overall Review: Needing a low powered GPU to power a mid-scale Ryzen cancer research system without integrated graphics on a 300 watt SFX PSU was a strange place to find myself in, but this was the perfect GPU for the task. Despite having decent air movement, it is completely silent. It was rather simple to change out the plate on this card to fit into the case, and with such a low power usage, despite having modern tech in it unlike virtually every other card in this price category/performance/power usage. It has so far done exactly as I needed, a snappy desktop experience while sipping power and able to do a few tricks, even game at medium in a pinch (Doom Eternal 60fps+).
Pros: - Got on sale for $139 - Small form factor to fit in a low profile slot - Was able to turn a old terminal PC into a gaming PC - Software was easy to install with not to much bloatware
Cons: - non for this price point - Obviously not going to handle high end games and settings
Overall Review: I had an older terminal PC designed for Office work that I got for free. It had DDR4 Ram and an i5 processor but just built in Intel Integrated Graphics. It was a small form factor and wanted something at work to play with on breaks. This card essential made it an Xbox 1 equivalent for $139. It runs Rocket League at Max setting / 60FPS / 1080 which is really all I was hoping to get out of it. Plays all my older Steam games with no issue (Star Wars Battlefront / Squadrons / Doom / etc.) I was hoping for 1080p/60fps (Max for the Free Monitor I'm using) and that's what I got and then some. The packaging recommends at least a 300 watt power supply but I've been running it off a 180 watt supply for over a month without any issue.
Pros: -Is a single-slot, low-profile, low-wattage card so it will fit into one of those small form factor prebuilt office PCs easily -Offers similar if not better performance to a low profile GTX 1650, while drawing roughly a third less wattage -is cheaper than most low profile GTX 1650s
Cons: -Is only a 4GB card -lacks encoding capability -is PCIe 4.0, when most people buying this card will still be on motherboards that have PCIe 3.0
Overall Review: I bought this card in order to put it into a Dell Optiplex 7060 SFF for my sister to use. Im still sorta new to building PCs, seeing as this is only the second PC Ive built, after my own. But man, I was blown away by the performance this card offers. Im really into flight games, so I tested Ace Combat 7 and Project Wingman on this PC. The RX 6400 in this case is paired with an i7-8700 and 32 GB of 2666 MHz DDR4. With these specs, Ace Combat 7 and Project Wingman run brilliantly on the highest settings. Almost as well as they do on my own PC in fact, which has a 10850K, 64 GB of 3600 MHz DDR4, and an RX 6600. If youre looking to get into PC gaming on a budget, this card and a used Dell Optiplex are an amazing combo for 1080p gaming. Its a single slot card, meaning that it will fit into more computers than the low profile GTX 1650. Speaking of which, it offers similar performance to the 1650 on PCIe 3.0, while only drawing 53 watts to the 1650s 75 watts. Its also much cheaper than the 1650s have been selling for as of late. Now, this being a 4GB card, dont expect to play Cyberpunk 2077 on ultra settings. It also lacks encoding, which will be a bit of an issue for streamers, but if your CPU has encoding youll probably be fine. This is also a PCIe 4.0 card, so it will take a performance hit on PCIe 3.0 motherboards. But its not that big a performance hit. All in all though, this is an amazing card to use if youre new to building PCs and/or youre on a budget. One more thing to note: apparently the Sapphire Pulse version of the 6400 (this one) has better cooling than the XFX Speedster version. Keep that in mind when choosing which model to get
Pros: Happened to pick up a used 49-inch 4K TV to use as a monitor. The current fan-less GT710 couldn't handle it. I searched for the highest rated 4K card, with noise being a key factor. Went with the Sapphire. Card works effortlessly, staying below 35% utilization and 60 degrees C... and never hear the fan running. Handles all the browser tabs/ videos I throw at it. Great card for my use!
Cons: None at this time.
Overall Review: Highly recommend for office and HT use. Very quiet, would claim it is noiseless. Great performance and value.
Pros: Upgraded from an ancient GeForce 210. Massive improvement. Went from playing games at 720p - 360p lowest settings at 5-20FPS (if it would even launch) to a comfortable and enjoyable 60+ fps on most games at low to medium settings. Great option if you need a low power draw, half height card for an older computer. Paired with an Intel i5 3475s and 16gb DDR3.
Cons: Be sure you have at least PCIe 3.0. And adjust your expectations. You wont be playing ultra high settings, but youll still have a fun time on low settings. Cant really complain, it does what I expected.
Overall Review: I put this in an older Dell optiplex 7010 DT (2013). After some research, I chose this as it seemed the best option within my budget. I was constrained by budget, slim form factor, and low power draw. This fit the bill. If you dont need a low profile GPU, and arent limited by an under powered power supply, look elsewhere. This isnt for you.
Pros: It's a true Single Slot Card, I can run AC Valhalla at medium settings with no problems.
Overall Review: If you've got an SFF build it's a great card!
Overall Review: I needed an upgrade to my gt 1030 that could also fit a thin case without upgrading the power supply. I have this paired with a i3 6100 and pcie 3.0 and i wanted to get 1080p 60 fps. It does much better than i thought just tweak settings for lower memory as that seems to be the biggest restriction. Otherwise i love this little card.
Pros: -Great performance for the form factor -Low profile -Single slot
Cons: -Tad too expensive
Overall Review: AMD did a great job with this graphics processor and the performance it is able to offer with such little cooling and power needs. Sapphire designed this one very well!
