AMD May Have Disabled Overclocking for Its Newly Released RX 6400
In a bid to be the head honcho of the graphics card industry, both AMD and Nvidia have been launching a number of products while there's still time left in this current generation.

That said, for AMD to disable overclocking seems like a poor move on its part, especially for those who were hoping to get a little boost out of the cheap card.
The review also indicates that team red's new budget GPU is cheaper than both the Nvidia GTX 1650 Super and
