Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon RX 6400: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon RX 6400

The Radeon RX 570 and Radeon RX 6400 post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming. The Radeon RX 570 packs 2,048 stream processors versus 768 on the Radeon RX 6400.

Price & Value

The Radeon RX 6400 currently lists from $10 EUR, $1,090 EUR less than the Radeon RX 570 at $1,100 EUR. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 6400 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~10595% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 6400 is trading below its $159 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $931 EUR above its $169 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

At 53W against 150W, the Radeon RX 6400 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern RDNA 2 architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Memory & Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 570's memory is faster — 224 GB/s versus 128 GB/s (256-bit vs 64-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The Radeon RX 6400 is roughly 5 years newer than the Radeon RX 570 (RDNA 2 vs GCN 4.0 (Polaris)), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: Radeon RX 570 or Radeon RX 6400?

Choose the Radeon RX 570 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Radeon RX 6400 stretches your money further for near-identical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 570 better than the Radeon RX 6400?

They're very close on raw performance. The Radeon RX 6400 edges ahead on value, so price and availability should decide it.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Radeon RX 570 or the Radeon RX 6400?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon RX 570 worth the extra $1,090 EUR over the Radeon RX 6400?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Radeon RX 6400 comes out ahead.
