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

Рет қаралды 79,348

Күн бұрын

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...

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.

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. 😊

@@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.

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.

@samwalker7567 3 ай бұрын

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 surprised to see it's 2.5 times more powerful than my old HD7770 And that it can actually play modern games. I remember back then if you didn't had enough vram the games wouldn't even open, I had a 64mb integrated memory pentium 4 and then I had to add a 512mb geforce 6200 to play things like half life 2 episode 2 and then I had to get a while new pc with the 7770 to play resident evil 5 and now I've gotten a whole new pc again to play resident evil 4 lol

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)

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.

If you want gaming performance, you're much better off looking for something older on the used market, unless the power consumption and size is more important than performance (or performance per dollar).

Wonder how much performance one would gain from overclocking this bad boi, because it runs extremely cool!

Great, just what we needed. Newer, pricier, and more power hungry display adapters.

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.
