The RTX A400 is a 50W card using a GA107 GPU, which is the same chip used by some of the RTX 3050 cards (i.e. the 70W and 115W versions).

I watched that video a week ago. Is this tech news?

Good for you, I did not.

This site buys a lot of articles from independent guys lately. You can see the difference in the quality of the article written by the actual employees which appears to not be a lot of guys.
I suspect web sites like this are going the way of the old PC magazine days. Kids attention span seems to only tolerate 30 second tik tok videos.

Who will deliver a real low-end hero in 2025, Intel, AMD, or Nvidia?

Used HP rx 6400's have been going for about $100 on ebay, guessing it's from people are upgrading the refurbished budget desktops.

Thanx for the BBO link. Lotta good stuff I'll like there.The article mentions the RTX A400 a couple times and doesn't say how much VRAM it has.Kinda important. And the ray tracing stuff. It runs at 480p and then the fake frames thing double(s?) it to 960p? And nothing about quality,lag,artifacts of various kinds and smoothness.

"GPU-Z didn’t recognize the card but said it had 768 shaders, 4GB of GDDR6 memory... "

Tom's doesn't have the card in their possession, making it harder to do a full review.

What I don't understand, why bother selling it as anything other than an RTX A400, not like there was anything wrong with it. In fact, it being a Quadro would enable additional software locked rendering features in products like SolidWorks. Selling it as a 4010 is a downgrade IMO.

I think Intel is winning that race already. A380 is not terrible for the money. Nvidia RTX 3050 6GB is actually a reasonable card in a lot of situations.

B580/B570 is quite good for the money. They may make a smaller B380 at some point though we may have reached that point where smaller cards aren't worth it as integrated graphics grows larger to fill that price point.

RX7600 isn't bad either, and a follow up to that card could fall in that sub-$250 range and be pretty good.

Certainly not going to see a sub $200 Blackwell or Ada GPU anytime soon. Maybe after Rubin has been in production for a while.

Thank you froggx.And my sincere apologies to the author.I'm a fool for not reading more carefully.
More importantly, thank you for the oddball story. It was very interesting. I love stuff like this.Everyone have a good day.😊

I really hope intel's drivers are better this time. Before they launched their last line I thought they'd be able to do better because of their extensive history of igpu's. Eh..turns out it's a bit different.
And boy did nvidia and amd prove you need a certain wizardry to make good drivers for gpu's. But heck yeah, I would love it if Intel made some noise and got some market share in the GPU sector.

I have multiple systems that could use a 75W card. Just want to see it be cheap and good. B380 might qualify, and AMD always has the option to make an RX 7500 (like the Radeon Pro W7500) or RX 8500/8400 if Navi 44's top card is the RX 8600 XT.
