The Radeon RX 6300 - It's Real, But Can It Game?
Вставка

- The RX 6300 is one of AMD's lesser known graphics cards, and carries with it the same limitations as the 6400 and 6500XT. It's probably not designed for gaming given it's elusiveness, but we're still going to try...

Thanks for watching :) - Наука та технологія
Half of the world’s supply of RX 6300s are in the hands of UA-camrs 😂
Ah just saw your videos too!
Yay now both my tech boys have done an rx 6300 vid
ayyy
You two are way too freaking wholesome! Keep up the good work Iceberg and Random y’all both make my day better thanks dudes
This has maximum 'we have RDNA2 at home' vibes. If you can't afford a Ryzen 7640HS mini, this is the GPU for you🤣
Kinda a shame that they stopped producing this tier of card for consumers. Like the ~$60 cards that were available almost 10 years ago are still the same ones they sell today.
Yeah I remember a few of them. Would be good to see the ultra budget market return
Yeah, I'm simply looking for a display adapter that can play 4k video. That's all.
Does an Arc A380 count as a cheap display adapter? Lol. (I know, it's still about double the price.)
@@Gatorade69 iGPUs now cover that tier of consumers. In fact, CPUs without iGPU are becoming rare.
@@aleksazunjic9672 I think that class of graphics card could still be useful for a very old system with a inadequate iGPU. Something to provide better acceleration for general desktop compositing and such.
Now i'm waiting for the "Сan RX 6300 Handle Ray Tracing" video :)
Probably not my ryzen 7840u framework laptop APU beets it's performance and in quake 2 rtx is single digit framerate
😅 that's only something this guy here is mad enough to do 😂
At the very best you would be looking at still images.
Any card can handle ray tracing as long as you don’t care about frame rate😂
Raytraced powerpoint slides?
Honestly speaking, for a 32 Watt TDP this is kinda impressive. Nothing that i would wanna daily drive at all, way too slow for today's gaming standarts, but keep in mind that 10 years ago similar cards could consume as much as 250 Watts!!! And there's a reason these are put in OEM systems specifically, it's basically just a modern day GT 1030 meaning it's more of a "display adapter" meant for extra display ports rather than a "gaming card", something i am noticing a good chunk in the comment section is not quite understanding.
Actually no. This is performace of gtx 960 which was released almost 10 years ago and had a tdp of 120w
@@rafradekiStill use a 960. Great card.
@@rafradeki "as much as 250w"
It would be impressive if they made the memory speeds the same as higher models
@@rafradeki If I didn't get a 3080 when they became available, I would be using this comment to justify not using my GTX 970 any more. GTX 960 performance all in that tiny little card? Time to upgrade.
Now you can build a 6300-PC with a FX-6300 & RX 6300. :D
Never heard of that card before, if the GT 1010 would be available somewhere, that would be a good battle..
I'd waged RX 6300 beats GT 1030 hands down, even the "fast" version.
I had a 760-PC with a gtx760 and a athlon II 760k.
Now I have a 3090 and a 5900x. at least both with a 9 in it i guess.
@@Booruvcheekthat's a little obvious, 1030 is old and has slow memory
U can build a 16 pc, with a ryzen 5 1600, 16gb ram and a 1660 super
Would be a nice balanced budget build too
It would be bad, because most motherboards for FX-6300 have only PCIe 2.0 .
25 w... Really cool for its performance
You should see what Intel celeron N100 does at 6 watts. It plays GTA 5 800p normal settings at 38fps avg. Peaks at 47 fps. Which is insane for an iGPU and cpu combined at 6 watts (like an arm chip). Still its fun what and pushes out 25w. Sadly they didnt gave it 4gb which is not that expensive but I think there is a manufacturer that would slap 4gb on this maybe... Like those old gtx 730s with 1gb or 2gb ddr3 or even 5. We'll see
@@ff7soldierff7 There are some people modding the 5600 XT with 24 gigs or 32 on the steam deck so giving this guy 4 gigs should be possible.
@@ff7soldierff7Those Celerons would be amazing in a desktop socket. If they could price it at like $20, it'd be a great ultra budget system when paired with a GT 710. You could give it 8GB RAM and the GPU would have its own VRAM so it'd all do fine.
It's a system on a chip design though, so it doesn't actually need a motherboard. And it probably has no free PCIe lanes.
The 6W limit is artificial. Once you disable it in the BIOS, they pull up to 12W and doing so become unironically good CPUs. It exists because "cooling" on the devices you can find them in is a sheet of copper foil.
@@ff7soldierff7 Now pair the 6300 XT with that chip.
Wild to see a card that looks like this, that 's more powerful than my R9 280 back in the day.
Well said, my 280x is sweating rn.
i love unknown graphics cards like these, or lesser known ones, like the 5300, 5300XT, 5500 OEM and 5600 OEM, basically I love OEM cards, one I still have never seen is an RX 640
Had an RX 640, never could get it to work, heard they were fussy with older boards, I was trying to run it in a 6th gen i5 pre-built. I ended up throwing it in as a sweetener when I was selling another card
Always nice to see a video that makes me feel good about my RX 6400. :P [sadly, my only local used options at the time were more expensive, and out of my budget range, and the only other "new" card I could afford was an RX 550... Oh, and your videos on the RX 6400 are what convinced me that it'd be worth it since it was replacing an ancient HD 6770, so thanks for that :)]
The way I see it not everyone can afford STOOPID EXPENSIVE GPUs so if it was the best in your budget & lets you have fun playing games you like it is an AWESOME! GPU 🙃👎
There is also the issue on getting a high tier card from a few gens old, because if you have a budget PC, your PSU might not be able to handle it. I just got into that issue when building a quick 3600+1080 pc for VR, the PSU was a cheap one without the PCIe cables needed.
I also have a friend that "didn't want to spend much", but after switching the GPU, had to get a new PC bc the bottleneck was too much.
Just try to use your weak but decent GPU to it's fullest and save up for a new build in the future, don't upgrade piece by piece for some time. 😊
Nothing wrong with your RX6400, buddy. It is a modest card but IMO a solid product that was way too expensive on release. It should have been released earlier, too. That card gets a ton of shit everywhere but if you got it for a good price and you like it, then who can judge? Screw haters and enjoy!
your videos are my meditation. thank you
Glad you like them!
Love your videos my dude! Keep it up
Thanks!
It's great that you cover every gpu you can. Please keep doing what you're doing!👍
"Display Adaptors" can game, if you temper your expectations and choose the right titles. And while it might not be as performant as the latest gen of APUs, it's a lot cheaper than a complete internal overhaul of rig.
5:08 nice drivin
It's GTA...
I know it's nearly 10 years old, but I bought an XFX Black Edition RX 470 factory sealed for the same price as this RX 6300 at $60.
That's a STEAL!! You can also flash most of those to rx570 vbios for a good boost in performance.. awesome card
It is also is limited to a 32-bit memory bus. I'd be interested to see how bad it does in an older system with Gen3 slot. I tried to find one on eBay and found one for sale. I imagine they won't be easy to find until businesses start liquidating newer systems.
Wow, I thought a 64-bit memory bus was bad enough, but 32-bit...?!
@@TheSpotify95 That's also almost the lowest you can get with 2GB vram. The limit is 3,2GB or something like that. (If it works the same as system ram allocation in the 32bit windows xp era)
@@TheSpotify95 Yup, just imagine that the RTX 3050 6GB has a 96Bit .-.
I gamed on an r7 240 for YEARS. It looked exactly like this. I was so happy playing Minecraft at 30 fps.
Would be like to upgrade to a R9 285... 🤔
I haven’t watched your videos in a while, but I love your content. I love how this video started you’ve heard of these other graphics cards this one’s just like it but worse😂
Love your videos brother
your videos are so oddly satisfying to me
I might buy this for my old egpu laptop setup. Wouldn’t lose out on performance much when I use it for ps2 emulation (currently have gt730)
Alright, you finally got one! I have one in a backup PC and it does its job just fine.
you can buy this and a brand new 4500 cpu for the same price as a 5600g id love to see a comparison video of that
4500 supports only PCIe 3.0 . 5600g could have advantage in large texture games, although if you keep things under 2 GB 6300 wins.
@@aleksazunjic9672 5600g is also pcie 3.0 this is why i think 4500 and 6300 would be better plus with a low end cpu like this theres a high chance the motherboard your using is gen 3 anyway
@@aleksazunjic9672 5600g is also pcie 3.0. 5600g/5700g and 5500 are all pcie 3.0
Very interesting video. Had no idea these existed!
I like these videos where you test low-end budget friendly cards. However, I would like to see you do more retro gaming stuff with them. Like games from 2000-2010, perhaps even older. Just my thoughts.
early today, love the videos!
I was awake till 4:30 am working yesterday, and I kept playing your videos while doing so because I adore your voice bro 😂💙

@@ZA-7 And what's that supposed to mean?
It is one of THE graphics cards of all time. That's for sure. If it had Windows 7 or XP drivers, I would have loved to see it inside an old system just for the hell of it. I mean you can technically still pair this with a Q6600 or something like that on Win 10.
No. Cards like this works ok only on modern pcie4 interface. All you got on old pcie2 is stutters and freezes.
Just realize this thing have the same compute unit as 680m igpu
It looks like my old Radeon 9600 XT from 2003, down to the red PCB and tiny fan!
Hi, about Baldur’s Gate and blurry graphics: counterintuitive, but if you use FSR and it’s not a pretty high resolution… disable anti aliasing. It’ll be pixelated, but things will look better. Side note, this knowledge is from playing on the Steam Deck, and importantly as things might have changed, back then there was just FSR1 in game.
It would be great if you would start adding comparings with other similar gpus on those benchmarks
And they said the 4060 was bad value
😁
It is, but anything that's a cut down RX 6500XT should be on your "do not purchase" list...
@@markjacobs1086 Pretty sure the 6500XT only won by a small margin compared to the older 5500XT, and lost in every case when in PCIe 3.0 mode.
@@TheSpotify95 The 6500XT is still a bad GPU, no sugarcoating that. However just imagine what a cut down bad GPU is like. 😂
this gpu was not sold alone, it is only in used market
Not bad results for video adapter. Clearly improvement over HD X450 or GT X10.
would love a video explaining these terms TAA, FSR, FXAA, AA, Presets etc.. i'm not very well versed in graphic options 🥲🙏
Including active cooling is pretty optimistic IMO
Its actual kinda impressive, that such an efficient and small card can do what it can.
A lot better than I expected.
Great video! Would love to see this compared to Vega 8 graphics (2200g/2400g, etc) since they both have 2gb of vram. 2200g has been my daily driver with my NOS CRT monitor for years now. Quiet and cool while the low power offsets the power draw of the CRT.
My old r5 3500u in my laptop had vega 8 and gta only got 30-40 and red dead got about 6-10 so this is much better
that's pretty impressive!
All this bang for 24watts. Nice!
Hey use it for a compact retro build slap MS DOS, XP Win 7 and decent storage, fill it with the classics and you got a nice project
I'd be curious to see how well this card could handle multiple simultaneous H264 encoding & decoding tasks, as it would fit perfectly in a 1U rackmount server we have at the place where I work running our security camera, and would be a good alternative to software encoding on the CPU.
that's really impressive giving the size and power usage of dat thing, it's so smol, maybe it can run older games even in 4k
expected slideshows , and i think it runs better than my old gtx 960 ; seems like a good card as a backup card at least
Not a bad card, probably good for video editing and photo editing. Hey, I did well with a GTX 460 with 768mb of vram for 10 years up until 3 years ago.
For cyberpunk you should have tested in the Dogtown area. I can run high settings all day in the city but in dogtown it goes low 20s
Can you add Batman: Arkham City or Origins for testing? As one of the best looking games with UE3? I would show how GPUs works in older but great games.
Hey, would be great if you test jrpgs like persona 5 royal, persona 3 reloaded, the yakuza series, valorant on this card. Which card is this rx 6300 eual to?
very nice results how does it perform vs ryzen G ?
It's actually really decent for what it is, it can play esports titles and uses so little power and has a little fan that's kinda cool, you should compare it to a 780M to see the results and compare both power usage of CPU+GPU and performance, anyway I have a GPU that looks just like that with a different cooler because it's from asus but it's so bad that I wasn't expecting this one to actually play modern games so nicely
0:57 This giant cooler caught me off guard
They would be a good upgrade for SFF prebuilds with weak PSUs. But all the ones I've seen on eBay come with a high profile bracket only.
I know we all like those new graphics bricks but its good to see a card once in a while. Reminds me of when gaming didn't cost as much
A perfect fit to use AFMF in a hybrid GPU setup:)
Yeah would be :)
This card is probably 3 times more powerful than what card I was stuck with during the GPU shortage (an hd 7750). Thankfully my PC has had a glow up since then and now rocks a RTX 3060 ti
This thing does as good as a gtx 970 on cyberpunk !! That’s kinda crazy to me, knowing how far we’ve come this thing is so low power and tiny like wow
Hey, if those Starfield frame times were framerates, that'd be pretty good!
Honestly wouldn't mind picking up one of these for a chiplet Zen 3 home server, like a 5700X or 5900E. On some boards it'll refuse to boot without some form of graphics, and it saves having to load the heavier and propietary Nvidia drivers for a GT710 when all you need is an X server in a blue moon.
You can just use nouveau for that purpose.
lil guy
Surprising amount of performance for something with just 2GB of VRAM. Definitely more of a display adapter but could play retro games or slightly older titles without issue. GTA V, Borderlands 2, etc.
I was most surprised by the FH5 test, I never would have thought it would run with only 2GB.
Hey this card seems like a pretty decent choice if you just use your pc for working, but also want to do some light gaming here and there. 30fps is honestly fine tbh.
Slap this in a used mini-pc and you've got yourself a little media center with emulation capability.
This is basically a IGP 680M put into a pcie board with some memory modules xD
PD. funny to see the small square cut in the heatspreader to access the bios chip
looks like older cards are going to be more compelling for builders or OEM buy-and-upgraders who are stuck with PCIe 3.0, especially people who prefer indie games over triple A ones.
8:30 - textures at ultra in RDR2, 1080p? I doubt it really worked. IIRC ultra textures could only be enabled on 4 GB VRAM GPUs and it was close to a VRAM limit.
That’s one hell of a heatsink for an i3 😂
what a beast!
Regards from Poland 👌
For 25W its really efficient.
Better than onboard. Great desktop/mild gaming card.
Amd seems to utilize cards with both 64 and 32 bit memory buses quite well! ( this one has a 32bit bus )
That setup would likely outperform my Dell Inspiron "computer-in-a-box" pre-built w/a Core2Quad Q 9400, I swapped out the PSU with a Thermaltake "Smart" 430watter and added an RX 470 4GB and an SSD, running windows 10. Maybe it's finally time to upgrade? . . . . hmm . . . . this just might be compelling enough to persuade me.
Power consumption seems a bit high. I dunno.
You would think in such a tiny, lightweight GPU that's also only x4 that they would size the pins accordingly. It looks funny to see the x16 length but only pinned as x4. It feels like a missed opportunity for an easy way to save material. It doesn't seem like a lot, but on a major scale where if every ten boards they made, they were able to make another one out of what would have otherwise been waste, that's a decent amount of money saved in materials at the end of the run.
I don't know if that's how it works with PCB's and saving the fiberglass and other materials and stuff, but you showcased that 4060 a while back that was only pinned to x8 and that was a big card, they have to had done that for a reason.
My guess would be for literal physical stability... x16 length means more contact with longer slots even if you're not using that as electrical contact. A x4 connector has physically less material to keep it in place when inserted.
When you consider that these are mostly intended for business use to drive multi-monitors, the design choice makes sense - it's going in some box that will get knocked, kicked, bumped etc, especially as non-technical users stick a bunch of DisplayPort cables into them. The cost of a small amount of extra PCB (which isn't really "extra" anyway as a shorter slot just means more cut-off waste) is nothing compared to the cost incurred by companies calling IT support for display issues.
So the manufacturers just price up a bit to cover their costs there and it's a non-issue.
Whilst these aren't Radeon Pro cards (and therefore aren't in the high reliability guarantee product lines) I would guess a fair few out there in the wild are using the AMD Software: Pro Edition for the more stable drivers given their intended use case.
I’m waiting for the “Hello everyone and welcome today we try RT on this potato” 🥔😂
I bought one of these off eBay as a backup/testing GPU and then threw it in a server to replace an ageing GT710. Much prefer yhe AMD card for Linux compatibility if i need to use a GUI on the server directly.
Strange thing is that GPU-Z shows it as half the shaders at 384. Unsure if that is accurate or a bug.
Interesting card. Probably only good as an upgrade for a small form factor PC with integrated graphics (so therefore allowing a few games to be played) but ONLY if the motherboard supports PCIe 4.0! PCIe 3.0, and especially PCIe 2.0, will likely be severely hampered, jut look at those PCIe lanes! 4x is what a lot of SATA adapter splitters and NVMe adapters run at, not GPUs...
I think it's better if you use act 3 as benchmark in BG3. That entire section is an FPS killer and it would make a much more 'real' performance benchmark to see how a GPU handles crowded areas.
Is it better than the 780M that is on the newer G series AMD processors?
Hell no. I've the 8700G. Try playing Alan Wake II on that 6300. The 8000g series can assign as much "vRAM" as you have RAM (minus the background OS). If you get 32GB DDR5 you can play modern AAA games at 1080p with the 8000g series (not the 8500 though)
Nope
Would be interesting seeing this and maybe the gt 1010 facing the other ultra-ultrabudget options as the aging gtx 750ti, integrated Vega 6 and Intel's A310 (funnily enough there's almost no content on the A310)
Yeah I’ve been looking for an a310 and 1010 for ages
@@RandomGaminginHD Yeah unfortunately looking around the A310 doesn't seem to go for cheaper than 100€/£ . On Amazon US it's 109$ but not sure how much extra you'll have to spend for taxes to ship it in GB.
While the GT 1010 is extremely elusive
Glad you took the "gpu bullet" for others.
better then my gpu, then again i'm on a laptop from 2011 with a amd a8 apu
That's actually kinda impressive, thats a nice performance for just 25w of power
This is the tier of gpu I'd have had to settle with when I was a teenager and back then with this kind of performance I wouldn't have known any better and would have thought it was fine. Unreal 1 at 18 fps boys, yea! Those were the days, lol.
Gaming with 25w! that deserves more praise.
The big advantages of buying a newer weak GPU is lower power usage AND better driver support. But IcebergTech said he had to use HP's old drivers... which sucks.
G'day Random,
Yeah I'd really like a PCIe3 vs PCIe4 comparison to see if it is a Bottleneck.
Honestly, it would be good for CSM machines that can do light gaming, there are a few more options for those kinds of computers, however. The RX 6300 is a little faster than a GT 1030 but it can probably play Skyrim all the same.
0:06 Reminds me my first GPU - ATI Radeon X700 Series 256MB VRAM... In fact it looks exactly the same, unless we look at the ports...
It's all to do with expectations. The weird thing is that I've been gaming for a very long time. I remember a time when anything above 2-3FPS was considered acceptable and polygons weren't filled with textures, or even were not filled at all and were just wireframes. In slower-paced games 20-30fps seems perfectly playable to me, so long as the game engine doesn't slow down (as a few do) to "keep up" with the graphics. Also most games look pretty good to me even on low/medium settings and I usually prefer to drop a detail level than to use upscaling. As I like to say "I have better things to spend my money on than slightly more detailed backgrounds".
Well. I did that they until I started to muck about with LLM and generative AI. oh, lord. THEN you need the 24 gigs. :-) It would be nice if a quick image could be done using something like Stable Diffusion and via Automatic1111 at the end of these reviews - just to add something other than gaming. Just a set series of imagine with a known seed number, so it's always consistent.
I wonder what graphics card would be the better option for a old office pc with pciE3 and no pcie powerconnectors. Is it gtx 1050 or a rx 6400
RX 6400 would be somewhat nerfed by PCIE 3.
GTX 1650 might be worth a look
Great, just what we needed. Newer, pricier, and more power hungry display adapters.
I just got an RX 7900 GRE. I think I’ll stick with that for now. 😂
Am I wrong to be kinda blown away by how it performs? It will 100% work on any Optiplex out there with no need to upgrade the PSU. A bottom tier budget computer with modest gaming capabilities for as little money as possible. It would all depend on how cheap you can score a used Dell for.
all said its fairly impressive for 24w
idk man, for 60 bucks it seems pretty okay and you get the benefit of driver support^^
I'm surprised how well this 6300 worked in all of those games, also wonder how much power consumption would drop if this card would be undervolted
I'd like to know how it compares to "video output" cards like GT 610/710/10100?
This video has indirectly shown me that I should be able to run BG3 on my RX6400.
