In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 EVGA Superclocked 1GB Edition.
The GTX 750 has a 215 MHz higher core clock speed than the R7 250, but the R7 250 has 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 750. As a result, the R7 250 exhibits a 9.1 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 750. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 750 has a 215 MHz higher core clock speed than the R7 250 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 750 providing 3.4 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 750 was released less than a year after the R7 250, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The R7 250 has 1024 MB more video memory than the GTX 750, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the R7 250 also has superior memory performance overall.
The R7 250 has 67 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 750, which means that the memory performance of the R7 250 is much better than the GTX 750.
The Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire has 768 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 750 EVGA Superclocked 1GB Edition has 512. However, the actual shader performance of the R7 250 is 685 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 750 is 894. The GTX 750 having 209 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the R7 250 performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire requires 130 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 750 EVGA Superclocked 1GB Edition requires 55 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the R7 250 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GTX 750. The R7 250 requires 75 Watts more than the GTX 750 to run. The difference is significant enough that the R7 250 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 750.

Mini Review | Overview Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire is a solution of two Radeon R7 250 1GB put together using AMD's Crossfire Technology. Architecture It consists of 2 GPUs Codenamed GCN 1.1 Oland XT which, together, offer 768 Shader Processing Units, 48 TMUs and 16 ROPs. GPU The central unit runs at 1000MHz and goes up to 1050MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory Each GPU accesses a 1GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 1125MHz. Power Consumption Power Consumption lies between 125W and 135W. Performance Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire Offers slightly more Performance than the Higher Positioned Radeon R7 260 but comes at a higher cost and relies highly in proper Driver Support.. System Suggestions Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a Performance Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | GeForce GTX 750 EVGA Superclocked 1GB Edition is a special edition of the fast-middle-class GeForce GTX 750. This edition comes with a custom cooling cooling solution which by itself will allow a slight performance boost, as GeForce GTX 750 benefits from the GPU Boost 2.0 technology. Furthermore, it comes overclocked out of the box in the central unit that was raised from 1020MHz to 1215MHz, while the Turbo Boost is now of 1294MHz, instead of 1085MHz. The operating memory clock was left untouched. Further overclocking can be achieved easily, as the GPU has great OC potential. Benchmarks indicate its performance is around 6% better than the reference card. |
