With the dedicated graphics market in the doldrums for months, companies are trying to win back customers by introducing increasingly modest models. That is the case RX 6300 2GBA GPU that began to be seen many months ago, but AMD was not encouraged to launch until recently, at least in China, as this is where the image comes from, which points to a possible launch that would be just around the corner.

The RX 6300, as the name suggests, is a relatively modest graphics card. If the 4GB RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 can be enough to run many games with limited graphics settings and at 900p (it depends on each case), the 2GB VRAM built into the RX 6300 seems too little for the time. .up-to-date, so the latest model is aimed at running very old video games or emulating platforms that aren’t very graphics intensive.

Another negative point that is common with models like the aforementioned RX 6500 XT and 6400 is the limited bandwidth of the PCIe bus because they only occupy four lanes. As a result, whenever the available buffer is saturated, the graphics card will lose performance if mounted on a motherboard that supports PCIe Gen3 or earlier.

Looking at the specs, the RX 6300 doesn’t appear to be an attractive product to extend the life of an old computer, although the 32-bit memory bus should give it a low-power profile that’s spiced up by its price about 60 dollars at least for Chinese market.

And as the name suggests, the RX 6300 is a graphics card that uses the RDNA 2 architecture and not the RDNA 3 of the RX 7000. To make matters worse, the most modest models of RDNA 2 graphics cards lack support for the AV1 video format, both play it as a render, while higher RX 6000 models will play it (rendering was introduced with RDNA 3/RX 7000).

The RX 6300 is aimed mainly at very low-profile computers, so it can only be recommended to those who are clear about what they want and for what they want.
