LauncestonianReplacements for RDNA2 low end cards that are still available on the market, at least in my country atm.

ChaitanyaThose 6400 and 6500 were far to castrated and were heavily criticized for it. If these also are similar with pricing above $75 for 7300 then its a manufactured ewaste like the 8GB versions of 5060Ti and 7600 that can rot on shelves.

eidairaman1They are igp replacements or for system inegrators, there are people who don't need a *600+ class card.

The 5060ti 8gb is ewaste due to ridiculous pricing.

ChaitanyaIGPs these days have video decode and encode capabilites(on Intel side they even have good software support) that were left out of and then there was crippled PCIe bus let to disapointing performance on older systems.

• RX 6400
• RX 6500XT
• RTX 3050 6GB

eidairaman1Point is if a port fails, most arent going to go and buy a whole new system, if 1 part can be replaced to bring system back into service.

_roman_It seems the entry level graphic cards have really nice prices.

I tried early 2023 a nvidia 960 gtx with 4gib vram. Bad driver support in windows 10 pro. display reinitialisation in windows 10 pro. Issues handling subnautica or encased.

those games are very demanding, even the smaller ones like encased or subnautica.

those amd apu are just a marketing hoax. Yes maybe a game from 2002 or earlier may be playable, that's it. I talk about whqd in 60fps. the higher need for dram makes an apu not really a proper choice.

i also tried to play with the graphic of the ryzen 7600x with 2x32Gib DRAM. Hardly a difference in the expierence to the trash what nvidia has as nvidia 960 wiht 4Gib vram. I think i gave the ryzen 7600x 16Gib and also 8Gib for the graphics to see the differences.

-- Considering the prices as of now on geizhals.at for the paid offer listenings for amd graphic cards there is lot's of room for cheaper amd graphic cards.



Some consumers are unable to do part swaps. That needs brain and skills with the hands and reading skills. Which is rare these days for some consumers.

NostrasCan be totally fine modern display outputs.
As long as AMD doesn't pull out a stinker and remove the en- and decoders like they've done with the 6400 and 6500XT (wtf man).

AusWolfThey didn't remove the decoder, only the encoder.

GodisanAtheist"You wanted a sub $200 GPU? Well here is your sub $200 GPU you ungrateful little brats" - AMD Probably.

AusWolfBut people wanted a sub-$200 5090 equivalent. How rude of AMD to deny them. :slap:

blinnbanirWhen 6500XT first launched I got one for $200 Canadian. At that time the 6600 was $600. It even had nice features but the review crowd barbqed it for not having an encoder.

AusWolfI got one, too, just to see if it's really that bad - I still have it as a spare card. Honestly, for a 4 GB budget card, it's fine. I don't get what the fuss was about the encoder. You don't need it unless you're a streamer, and if you are, you're not gonna buy a low-end card anyway. Reviews completely missed the target audience with that comment, epic fail on their part, imo.

NostrasI wouldn't consider 4GB fine even when it got released. In this price class 8GB was great and 6GB was defendable, 4GB was a problem.
4GB is fine sub 100$, not 200$.
But then again, it was a product of it's time where AMD (I think?) genuinely tried to get a somewhat decent GPU on the market for as cheap as possible.
