First-Gen GPU.
What’s Going On?
Based on TSMC’s N6 process, the DG2-128 die packs 7.2 billion transistors inside a 157mm2 die.
For performance though, that’s a totally different story.
Let’s now get into the benchmark phase.
For testing we’re using ourRyzen 9 5950XGPU test system.
to make it test GPU performance we wish to avoid introducing a CPU bottleneck which would skew the data.
Let’s get into it.
Still, the game was playable, so we guess there’s that.
If we limit theRX 6400to PCIe 3.0 bandwidth, it is comparable with the A380.
Without ReBAR, the A380 slows down and quickly becomes a GTX 1050 Ti-like GPU.
In Rainbow Six Siege performance is reasonable relative to the competition.
As shown above, without ReBAR performance drops as much as 26%.
But for the purpose of recording operating statistics it worked, so we’ll use it.
The GPU typically clocked at 2.4 GHz and the memory operated at the advertised 15.5 Gbps.
Overall a good quality graphics card.
12 Game Average
Looking at the full performance breakdown, as expected the results aren’t great.
Frankly, it would be extremely disappointing if Intel didn’t push forward.
Intel did say that support for older games wouldn’t be great.
The focus is on new titles using modern APIs like DX12 and Vulkan.
Clearly, they’re also focusing on newer PC hardware.
There’s also the matter of pricing.
But for gamers on a tight budget, neither the A380 nor RX 6400 would makemy recommendationanyway.
Instead we’d suggest checking out your local used market.
