PowerColor Introduces the R7 250X Graphics Card
TUL Corporation, a leading manufacturer of AMD graphic cards, today announces another cost effective model at R7 series, the PowerColor R7 250X. Being the sibling of other R series models, the R7 250X is surely packed with the latest technologies, including ultra resolution gaming, the Microsoft DirectX 11.2 support, ensuring extreme gaming experience for gamers without any compromise.
The PowerColor R7 250X is based on GCN architecture with a total of 512 stream processors, delivering massively parallel computing power for graphics and other accelerated applications. The new model is fitted with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory connected via 128-bit memory interface; Clocks are 1000 MHz core and 1125 MHz for the memory, delivering the most out of its ability.
The R7 250X is successfully introduced with bunches of innovative technologies. With Mantle support, game developers can get the unparalleled access to the GPU core, and bring a brand new way of looking at the world of digital gaming. The AMD Power Management technologies combine AMD PowerTune technology and AMD ZeroCore Power technology, delivering intelligent power monitoring and allowing GPU to consume virtually no power when in idle mode. By using the AMD CrossfireTM technology, users can get exceptional performance scaling with a second GPU.

And the official AMD slides say "up to" 640 stream processors: www.guru3d.com/news_story/amd_silently_injects_amd_radeon_r7_250x.html
what is the highest card I could get for cf?
and whats up AMD with the UP TO 640 ???
I dont get it, we will see an R7 250 XX or an R7-250 XXL cause i would love some extra fries with that
As flemeister pointed too in his link, the whole "up to 640Sp" is really stupid miss-leading. Those AMD sides also say 95W and a 6-Pin... it better have all 640Sp like a 7770.
The strange part is that the 7770 was deemed as a 80W TDP, although there were some saying it was 100W (I consider the truth is somewhere like 85W). My hope was AMD had found some production/process improvements and a slightly more efficient power section that let this 250X "Limbo under" the 75W, even if it meant minimal OC'n.
There were those "900Mhz" 7750 that got a 6-Pin, those could provide OC’s into 1Ghz; could this just be a 512Sp part at 1Ghz and gets a 6-pin? Even that doesn't make sense as the 7750 was like a 55W part, because if it was the 512Sp part just clocked 25% higher, it would be bizarre to believe AMD would believe 45% increase (95W) in TDP workable.
I seeing this is much like the new Maxwell, all this information is meant to be misleading and a little dodgy, so we’ll wait and see. It would be nice it both this, and the GTX 750 hit the same day (or there abouts) so we’ll get some direct comparisons, but I’d say we’ll se Nvidia with the stronger rejoinder.
The previous 'generation' (essentially the same card), the HD7770 Ghz Edition and the HD7750 had only DL-DVI-I / HDMI / mini DisplayPort: www.techpowerup.com/160532/powercolor-introduces-its-radeon-hd-7700-series.html
