AMD Radeon RX 6400 Launched at $159
AMD formally launched the entry-level Radeon RX 6400 graphics card. At an MSRP of $159, this is the most affordable graphics card from the Radeon RX 6000 series. It is based on the same RDNA2 graphics architecture as the rest of the RX 6000 lineup, and the smallest silicon of them all, the "Navi 23." This chip is built on the TSMC N6 (6 nm) silicon fabrication process.
The RX 6400 shares the "Navi 23" silicon with the RX 6500 XT launched earlier this year. AMD enabled 12 out of 16 RDNA2 compute units on the silicon, resulting in 768 stream processors, 48 TMUs, 12 Ray Accelerators, and 32 ROPs. The memory configuration is similar to the RX 6500 XT, with 4 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 64-bit wide memory bus. This is the same 16 Gbps-rated memory, which means 128 GB/s bandwidth on tap. There's also 16 MB of Infinity Cache. The engine clocks (GPU clocks) are set at 2039 MHz (game) and 2321 MHz (boost). With its given specs, the RX 6400 has a typical graphics power (TGP) of just 53 W, and so cards can do without any power connectors.

That being said, this is still ~$30-50 too high. Far better thanyhe atrocity that is the RX 6500 XT MSRP of course. But still too high. Wonder how it will perform though - anything new under 75W is interesting to me.
More like (almost) $100 too expensive. This is a GT 1030 class of card, and that launched at $80. This should've been the same.
more or less *gtx 1650 non super 2019 performance at price of **gtx 1650 super 2019 and with less pci-e lanes and decode and encode capabilities in 2022
:)
As for this being a 1030-level card... Well, in a sane world where things had scaled normally since then, sure, it would have been a 1030-class card for 2022. But given the slowing update rate of GPUs and the ever-diminishing architectural improvements, the 40 tier is more accurate - and it shouldn't lose all that much performance from the 6500XT, which is an RX 580/GTX 1060-level GPU. If this delivers 75% of the performance of that, it's more like a 1650. If it's 60% of that it's similar to a 1050 Ti. The 1030 delivers 24% of the performance of a 6500 XT according to the TPU database, and there's no way this is that slow.
For fuck sake Gigabyte even went and made a dual fan version for some reason!? I get the desire to reuse the designs from the 6500xt (that also could do without dual fans quite well) but this is getting ridiculous

Nevermind just saw saphire and powercolor also went small single slot, still shame on the others
:)
good slides but if want recording gameplay maybe this card have hardware encoder
:)
various models stay around 250 to 280us around 1 month ago but now stay around 189us and other with rebate until 169us and without rx 6400 launched
now can see if nvidia gives order to cut more prices, retailers cut price severely of gtx 1050ti and gtx 1650 or them are so scumbags to absorb loss and dont sell anything
