Besides telling me to get a new card, and knowing I play mostly older/emulation games, is there any optimizations I can do with 6400 4 GB card?

Running Bazzite as the OS and 16 GBs of ram.

FSR and lower settings (texture resolution and shaders in particular) are your friend. Also Gamemode to reduce background load from other processes, but Bazzite already takes care of that I assume.

Other than that there's hardly anything you can do except limit your gaming to any game with a mininum requirement of <=4gb VRAM. In some special cases there might be mods available that pull down the graphics harshly beyond what the game intended (I know such mods from e.g. NieR:Automata), but that's pretty much the limit of possibilities for the end-user.

In emulators there sometimes are settings letting you adjust the texture sizes, internal resolution and alike, those are definitely most interesting if some game lags on your machine due to VRAM.
