Don't be afraid of the Blue Factory's disruption, pure play games thousand yuan graphics card or RX 6400 incense!

Generally, the installation of home users is required to play mainstream games at 1080P resolution, and the price of the whole machine is maintained at 4,000 yuan. In this way, the thousand -yuan independent display is the standard in this type of installed scheme. In this price section, the latest Rad Radeon RX 6400 using the latest RDNA2 architecture is undoubtedly explosive desserts with very affordable specifications and prices. However, INTEL, who has been in the desktop market not long ago, finally joined the independent battle regimen in the desktop market, and launched the A380 graphics card that positioned the thousand -yuan market. So does it have the strength to challenge the Radeon RX 6400? What is the actual purchase value? Let's take a look with us.

The same 6nm process, Radeon RX 6400 architecture advanced energy ratio is better than

First look at the specifications. Although A380 and Radeon RX 6400 are different, they cannot simply compare the number of calculation units to judge the performance level, but some universal specifications can still be separated. The first is the process, both of which are 6nm, but the Radeon RX 6400 uses the RDNA2 architecture with better energy efficiency than. Therefore, you can see that its typical rectification power is only 53W, and the upper limit of the 75W of PCIE slot is the upper limit, so it is completely complete No external power supply is required. The requirements for power supply can be said to be very gentle, and it is also convenient to make ITX cards. In the case of the highest acceleration frequency as the Radeon RX 6400, the typical rectification power reached about 92W, which was almost 74%higher than the Radeon RX 6400. Secondly, it is the light chase. Although both thousand yuan graphics cards provide hardware pursuit, the Radeon RX 6400 light challenge unit is more than 50%than A380. The video memory part, although the memory capacity and level of the A380 seem to have some advantages, don't forget the Radeon RX 6400 with a highly high 16MB unlimited cache. It can provide higher efficiency when the game is actual. The actual combat contrast is very clear. In addition to the gap between the hardware specifications, we cannot ignore the black technology of the driver, AMD Software Adrenalin Edition, RSR (Super Resolution), Radeon Anti-Lag (Anti-Delay), AMD LINK and other dozen items. The features are very familiar and often used by players. This aspect is also unable to provide Intel's independence. In the end, the game optimization is also the advantage of AMD. After all, AMD and game manufacturers have cooperated for so many years, and even unified the game console market. This is a giant -like existence for novices like Intel.

In summary, although the "newcomer" like Intel has a passage of the A380's first -time answer, it is still very immature than the AMD Lai Lai who has been working in the graphics card industry for many years. Of course, the comparison of specifications is only theoretical analysis. Next, let's take a look at the situation of actual combat.

"Just asking for running is like a tiger", it is not advisable to run, the actual combat is still Radeon RX 6400 better

testing platform

Processor: Intel Core i9 12900K

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero Eva

Memory: Kingston FURY DDR5 6000 16GB × 2

Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 6400

Intel ARC A380

Hard disk: WD_BLACK SN850 1TB

Power: ASUS ROG Thor 1200W

Operating system: Windows 11 Professional Edition

In order to facilitate comparison, we chose the test platform used in the first test of the A380 and opened Resizable Bar and Above 4G Decoding. Of course, in order to give full play to the advantages of the 3A platform, we still suggest that you choose the Ryzen platform to match the Radeon RX 6400 during installation to achieve the best compatibility and collaboration efficiency. The first is the 3D MARK benchmark performance test. In the previous test of the A380, we have already said that the A380's targeted optimization of 3D MARK is relatively in place, and basically it has exerted its entire performance. Therefore The RX 6400 actually played a back. However, the 3D Mark score can only be used as a reference for the level of hardware specifications. The actual game is likely to be completely different.

Sure enough, as soon as the actual comparison of the game, the real performance level of the A380 was exposed. Among the ten mainstream games of the test, the Radeon RX 6400 has 9 victory. Among them, the frame rate advantage of "CS: GO" has even reached 105%, which is more than doubled! Other advantages such as "Tomb Raider: Shadow Shadow", "World of Warcraft: Shadow Kingdom", "Final Fantasy 14", "DOTA2" and "PUBG" are also like 10%to 20%. The difference between the two is relatively small. In summary, the Radeon RX 6400 has a frame rate advantage of about 19%compared to the A380, which is almost two grades. It can be seen that the game optimization is self -evident. In general, everyone also saw that the difference between the 3D Mark running score and the actual combat of the game may be very large. Even if the A380 can play with the Radeon RX 6400 in 3D Mark, there is a back to play a back. Immediately exposed the real level, in popular online games such as "CS: GO", "DOTA2", "World of Warcraft: Shadow Country", was thrown far away by Radeon RX 6400. Therefore, if you want to create a set of 4,000 yuan home consoles, considering the smoothness and compatibility of the game, and the richness of the driver function, the Radeon RX 6400 is obviously a better choice in the thousand yuan graphics card.

Summary: mainstream home installation, thousand yuan graphics card is still Radeon RX 6400 best

Let's briefly summarize the comparison situation now. First of all, in terms of actual combat performance, the average frame rate of AMD Radeon RX 6400 is compared with the Intel ARC A380, which is about 19%higher, almost two levels higher. The gap is still very large; followed by the energy efficiency ratio, although the same 6nm process, Intel ARC A380 typical rectifier power reaches about 92W and needs external assistance power supply. The Radeon RX 6400 is only 53W. Small chassis (a lot of Radeon RX 6400 on the market has made LP semi -high cards) and users who are pursuing mute, and at the same time have lower requirements for power supply; again, in the driver and black technology part, although Intel also claims to have XESS like this like XESS, Screen stretching technology to increase the frame rate, but currently only in the game DEMO experience, the official version of the game will be installed one after another, and the AMD FSR game already has 110+ models. language. The last is the sales method. AMD Radeon RX 6400 naturally opens up retail. There are all high card half -high cards. Players have a wide range of choices. The Intel ARC A380 graphics card can only be obtained by purchasing the whole machine. The player's choice is very small. Essence

We chose a more representative Intel ARC A380 machine. The core configuration of this configuration is Intel Core i5 12400 + Intel ARC A380, and the storage is a combination of 16GB + 512GB. It cannot be called 4000 yuan configuration. In contrast, the same level of the Zen3 architecture AMD Ryzen 5600 processor and Radeon RX 6400 graphics card, the total price is only 4109 yuan, and the graphics card performance is 19%, the hard disk capacity is doubled, the power supply rated power It is 100W higher, whether it is a actual combat game experience or the future upgrade space is better, and the obvious cost -effectiveness is victorious.

All in all, regardless of performance hard power or actual purchasing value, the Radeon RX 6400 is undoubtedly the best solution for the current mainstream home computer installation.
