For HTPC newer cards are needed, all cards doesn't have VRR, are limited to 8 bits, but 6400 sucks for that purpose.

And to answer your question, no, 6400 has better video playback and 3D power than a 1050ti.

Yes, the 6400 is 25-50% faster than a 1050 Ti in 3D, comparing slot-power to slot-power. At PCIe 3.0, not even 4.0. I have both and ran them thru a few games last week with an i7-4790. I could not care less about encoding from a low end GPU as the 1050 Ti crashes when encoding while playing unless you power restrict it to ~55W. :eyeroll:

But missing current decoding just kills the 6400 for HTPC for those who want a smallerish PC for that. Which I also don't care about as I use a NUC for HTPC, which is an actually unobtrusive computer.

Not just decoding, also lack of VRR and can't detect 10 or 12 bit on Smart TVs (at least on my Samsung)
