The Radeon R7 250 was an entry-level graphics card by AMD, launched on October 8th, 2013. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Oland graphics processor, in its Oland XT variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_1, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The Oland graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 77 mm² and 950 million transistors. It features 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. AMD has paired 1,024 MB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon R7 250, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1000 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1050 MHz, memory is running at 1150 MHz (4.6 Gbps effective).
Being a dual-slot card, the AMD Radeon R7 250 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 65 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.4a, 1x VGA. Radeon R7 250 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 interface. Its price at launch was 89 US Dollars.
