What a buyer needs to know

$179.99. The Tier-1 pick, such as it is: its vertical mount takes a 270mm card — the first point on the whole list where a real Radeon physically fits. SUB-6L IS A DEAD END FOR A CONSOLE — and not because nothing fits. Cards this short exist (the Sapphire PULSE RX 6400 is 170mm, single-slot, no power connector), but the RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT have NO HARDWARE VIDEO ENCODER — AMD's own spec pages say `H264 Encode: No`, `H265 Encode: No`. No encoder means Steam Remote Play, Sunshine and Moonlight are broken. That is silicon, not drivers: no update ever fixes it. Add 4GB of VRAM and the card is disqualified as a console. The shortest RDNA4 card at US retail is exactly 200mm, which is why 6L is the floor for this whole site. PRICE IT HONESTLY: $179.99 + a $20–90 riser (NOT included) + a Flex-ATX PSU. 37mm of cooler height means an NH-L9a and a 65W CPU, forever.
