It almost feels like AMD hoped no one would notice the quiet launch of its ultra-budget RX 7400 GPU
AMD's launch of the Radeon RX 7400 feels notably understated, almost as if they hoped it would fly under the radar. While the RX 7400 is aimed at budget-conscious gamers, its reliance on last-gen RDNA3 architecture with just 8 GB of GDDR6 RAM raises eyebrows. The claim of being suitable for "advanced gaming and streaming at 1080p" seems questionable at best, given current standards. - Expected to retail between $150 and $250, it may replace the RX 6400, but lacks the necessary punch for serious gaming. For those on a tight budget, this GPU might serve as an entry point, but 16 GB alternatives like the RX 7600 offer far better value. In essence, the RX 7400 exists for users who need something more than integrated graphics, but it feels like a compromise. Ultimately, it's a step down for anyone serious about gaming.
