The Radeon R7 250XE was a graphics card by AMD, launched on August 21st, 2014. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Cape Verde graphics processor, in its Cape Verde 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 Cape Verde graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 123 mm² and 1,500 million transistors. It features 640 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. AMD has paired 1,024 MB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon R7 250XE, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 860 MHz, memory is running at 1125 MHz (4.5 Gbps effective).
Being a single-slot card, the AMD Radeon R7 250XE does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 80 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.4a, 1x VGA. Radeon R7 250XE is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface.
