Today we're testing the AMD Radeon R7 250 With Boost!
This entry level card dates back to 2013 and while it could play games back then at 1080p with respectable frame rates, a lot has changed in the last decade.
0:00 Introduction To The R7 250 Boost
1:42 Cyberpunk 2077
4:16 Elden Ring (Fail)
4:27 Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
6:03 Forza Horizon 5 (Fail)
6:37 God of War
7:46 Red Dead Redemption 2
10:10 The Witcher 3

A friend of mine used to play GTA 5 Online at 480p windowed on the lowest of lowest settings to achieve 30+ FPS. He was running an i7 3770 with integrated graphics. Don't underestimate what budget gamers will do to play higher end games. Certainly they'll go beyond what you'd call "playable" I sold my used GTX 1660 to this friend for a pretty low price when I upgraded Edit: HOLY shit this blew up...

oh yes I can confirm that, a friend of mine played (~2019) fairly recent games with an HD4770 (on an old af FX-CPU). Even RocketLeague looked atrocious. I couldnt bear watching him, but he would refuse me buying him something better. So when he had his Birthday, his friends and I bought him a brand new Rig with a 2400G which literally quadrupled his fps despite being integrated Graphics. (And it gave me the chance to overspend on the Budget without him knowing)

We need more cards like this. Who wouldn't mind a tiny modern card that is basically a 3050TI/3060 sub 75W mobile card? Good enough for all tasks, with a bit of gaming oomph. Perfect for a tiny PC that is mostly used for graphically undemanding work, but is sometimes used to game a bit. Yes, the new AMD 7000 chips have decent graphics, but it's basically either 6-7 y/o games or eSports at 1080p/30fps. I'd really like a card capable of 1080p mid-high in Cyberpunk that is only 2 slots, one fan and doesn't require additional power. Basically, a laptop 3060.

2 slots is 2 thicc. ONE slot or bust. Half height, too. Some of us have SFF Optiplexes. The RX6400 or T1000 come closest to these requirements, but are more in line with a GTX 1650 in terms of performance. But the T1000, though its feature set is awesome for its size, is too damn expensive. If AMD could just include the damn VCE with the low end of the RX 7000 line (RX 7400?) instead of cutting it out like they did with

I have Dell variants of this card (the low profile, AMD Reference ones) based in DDR3 memory, and let me tell you a little nice secret: the DDR3 ones are almost always capped at 65W, and almost always have turbo as well, idk about the GDDR5 ones. Using MSI Afterburner you can actually bypass the power limit up to 75W and you can bypass the core clock/memory clock limits, and almost all cards overclock wonderfully well. On my dual R7 250s, I think I have managed to make these card run at 1250MHz core (when turbo-ing, when hitting base clocks it hits like 1175MHz or so) and managed to make the memory run at 1300MHz no hassle, getting around a 33% performance uplift on each card. On their own, they are pretty weak, but running two in games that actually run in crossfire, they are around 45-55% the performance of a 1650, in fact, the two in crossfirex ran Crysis in high at 1080P without dropping to 60FPs in anywhere on the entire game, so for retro gaming they are pretty solid if you don't mind hacking with them to get the performance you want.

I did something similar but with an R7 240, this things OC really well. Mine did 1100MHz memory (800MHz stock) and 1050MHz clock (730MHz stock). and when running it in dual graphics mode with an R7 iGPU (also OCd to 910MHz because that was the maximum allowed) some games ran really well considering it was being run in shitty hardware lol. Some games had issues with frame timing tho due to the difference between the iGPU and the R7 240. Fun times :)

@@nachogsr5085 I also have an A10 chip, but I decided to go with dual R7 250s due to my slow memory kit (And I couldn't afford to replace it, it was cheaper to grab two graphics card lol), as it did bottleneck really hard the graphics card if I used Dual Graphics with that memory kit, although it should be fine with A10 systems with DDR3-2133 or higher. Ditching the IGPU and running on two identical cards did increase the CPU performance a bit too.

You can't buy one now and say it was crap, just because it can't play modern games in 4K resolution.

I wasn’t aware that amd has this two memory models differences cards. There was a couple of Nvidia cards I had a while back that had both a higher memory size but slower bandwidth and smaller and faster memory and for those two cards I purposely searched for the smaller but much faster memory models. I think the two cards I am referring to is Nvidia GT730 and Nvidia GT1030. Both have low profile and/or single slot models. The performance gaps between the smaller but faster memory model and the bigger but slower memory model was literally the faster smaller one being 2x faster than the bigger but slower memory model. I think it was 2gb gddr3 or ddr4 (yes ddr4) vs 1 gb gddr5.

Try Nimez drivers, maybe they'll help. Maybe not, it really depends in my experience, but if they did your issues it'll be worth it.

I'd love to see you benchmark older games that are more relevant to the cards horsepower. NOBODY is buying or using old ass low powered cards to play Cyberpunk (at least nobody sane). The thing that's awesome about the PC platform is you can play old games at higher resolutions and frame rates and this is my fave use case for PC gaming. Would love to see more classsic/older game benchmarks depending on the card!

Oh men, that was the time of the entry level cards back then ... But hey, if you need only to have a display then this should do the job 😀 I'm wondering if the R9 360 will perform better (?) than the r7 250
@doesitgame
@doesitgame Год назад
Unequivocally, the R9 360 will wipe the floor with the R7 250. It’s a GCN 2.0 card to start (250 is GCN 1.0), and has ldouble the shader count.

I had a VisionTek R7 240 2GB that I threw into a pre-built and OC'd. Had I known the 250 existed, I would've used that instead because apparently, I could have used that with my A10-7800 APU in crossfire.

If this is the Oland-based 250 (and you can), re-test this card in Dual Graphics mode. This is one of the cards you could pair with the FM2 APUs (The 7850K for example) for a little boost in GPU power. As for the memory interface, yes: the GDDR5 version was faster, but overall the 250 cards (Oland or Cape Verde) were a downgrade from the HD7750 they replaced, as both that and the HD7770 were condensed into the R7 250X rebrand, which was hotter, but cheaper than both at USD99 at launch.

I'm surprised that Cyberpunk 2077 actually ran at a somewhat playable framerate. I bought a HD 8570, which has the exact same GPU and memory as the R7 250, but with lower clock speeds. I used it in a secondary PC for a time and played Dark Souls Remastered with my room mate, I had to use the lowest settings at 1280x720 to get a solid 60fps in that game.

So glad that my first GPU was the 2GB 650ti. Apparently, Spiderman will run on it. But with some graphical errors - and that's with the 650ti Boost. I know that with it however - I just need to look for GT 1030 results to get a good estimate of performance in anything modern. And at least it's better than the R5 340X - nearly half the memory bandwidth of the 250
@mclarenf1gtr99

GT1030 got trash driver support from Nvidia because "not a gaming card". Would target RX550 as the benchmark of entry level cards in current titles.

Apparently, you could pair one of these with A10-78xx series APU for some crossfire-ish dual graphics shenanigans. I wonder if it would actually improve anything or slow down such systems even more... On a side note, I recently added a8-7680 to my collection as the last FM2+ cpu to be released and I wonder if it could be compatible with any dual-graphics solution. Detailed information about this cpu seems to be unobtanium
@nathanhale3006

That is what one of my HTPC has is a 7890K and R7 250 in crossfire in a slim case. Works fine for that and old games.
@reik019
@reik019 Год назад
They do work, but most likely the APU is going to slow down a R7 250 if you are not using the A10 7890K and with memory well over 2133MHz, pretty solid if you ask me. Memory will be your main bottleneck on these systems, so DDR3-2133 is the bare minimum, anything higher, as long as your chip supports it will make some big improvements to the graphics. For anything below an A10 7890K or slower memory kits, use an R7 240, no bottlenecks, same performance as if you were using an R7 250 with a chip bottlenecking it. Or do as I did, I ditched the IGPU and brought two 250s instead, they were cheaper than to replace 16GB of DDR3-1866 (And yes, I have the FM2+ board that has the dual x16 PCIe slots) and run well, overclock well, but are slightly loud (They are tiny Dell reference ones, with a teeny tiny fan, but are surprisingly well built for Dell standards), I am running them in a GIGABYTE Sniper A88X board with an AMD A10 7870K overclocked to 4.5GHz and with a custom boost of 4.7GHz. Didn't get rid of the system as it was my machine from when I was a kid, instead I finished it and sometimes I fire it up just because of the nostalgia, Good ol' times.

I had a a10 7800 on the am3+ socket with a r7 250 gddr3 boost card. I used dual graphics crossfire with it, and use that setup for a littler under a year. The key to 'performance' was to get the highest possible ram speed you could afford. I settled for 2133mhz gskill sniper and was able to complete far cry 3 and watch dogs on a *crispy* 720p 60 fps playthrough on $250, with a used case and power supply from my old system. I had to upgrade the cpu cooler to a 92mm arctic tower cooler, because using all of that *"power"* with a stock cooler would cause the system to severely thermal throttle. Overall, most of the games I played ran well enough, and better than the aging xbox 360 I had. GzDoom modding was what kept me on that dual graphics setup for a while, because it ran so well for the price I paid. I was using windows 7 at the time, and I upgraded when I switched to windows 10 due to performance falling off a cliff. Upgraded to a gtx 960 ti and used that until 2020. Never looked back, and now I'm on a pny rtx 3070 LHR.

Unless I overlocked any important detail even the 2400G in another video RandomGaminginHD did was mostly faster than this GPU. It was only better in 1% and 0.1% fps dips where the APU struggled a it more. Sadly the video about the 2400G lacked any info about the memory settings apart from being DDR4-3200.
