Hi everyone, been a long time since I posted anything here. First of all my PC specs: AtomicHood - Saved Part Lists - PCPartPicker This is my first PC build. I'm very satisfied with my choices but I still haven't got a new GPU. I have around 300 USD saved up and was planning to save more and buy a GPU around Christmas. Planning being the key word. I'm okay with the bottleneck and can wait before playing newer games but my GPU is straight up messing with me. First of all, this old XFX R7 250 1GB stopped getting driver support and I currently have the 21.5.2 driver version installed. Windows 10 is all up to date. Last week I noticed my PC restarted when idling. I panicked of course and when it booted up again I saw a message that Radeon Wattman settings have been restored due to system failure. I checked Event Viewer and the error is: Event ID - 41, Source - Kernel Power. At first I thought it was a one-off but it happened a few times more during the following days. Today I ran OCCT CPU, Memory, 3D, VRAM and POWER tests each for half an hour and no errors came up. Then another peculiar thing happened. When starting a game it crashed and AMD Report Wizard said a driver timeout has happened. I tried searching for why that is but couldn't find anything concrete. I also tried downclocking both the GPU Clock Speed and VRAM Clock Speed for 100 MHz but to no avail. I also downgraded the drivers but for some reason the games just black screen and don't even work. TLDR: My GPU is giving me problems with my new build. I know its old but I wanted it to last for a bit longer. Should I troubleshoot more or buy a new GPU? Also sidenote, in the OCCT POWER test my CPU temp was max. 75 °C and my GPU temp was max. 65 °C. The CPU seems fine to me, maybe a bit high I don't really know, but since the fan speed for my GPU read out like 750000 RPM I'm not sure how accurate the GPU results were. That is all, thank you.

I wasn't sure whether to put this on the 'GPU' thread or 'CPU, Motherboards and Memory' thread but I decided to put it on this one in the end. I have an i5-2400 PC with 8GB of RAM and an R7 250 1GB (GDDR5). The only current bottleneck of the system is the GPU and I was wondering what upgrade path I should go considering the motherboard only has a PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot. I know that all PCI-E 3.0 cards are backwards compatible and I have done some research and everything points towards there not being a huge differene between PCI-E 2.0 and 3.0 performance, although I have been told that HBM cards suffer losses on PCI-E 2.0 as they need all the bandwidth they can get. I do want to be able to game comfortably at 1080p but I don't want to spend too much and I also only have a 430W PSU so a card like the 1050Ti seems like a good option. I was also curious as to what the maximum card with similar if not identical performance on PCI-E 2.0 as on PCI-E 3.0 would be. Any responses/help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been triying to fix this for 2 weeks and nothing...I have got new (used) mobo and ram and has finnaly happy that i will be able to play some games but ofc no.The problem is my gpu.When i try to play some really gpu intensive games (rise of tomb raider nfs the run etc),I get big fps spike in first couple of seconds (60-70fps) and than it drops into the 20s.I tried running them on max and lowest(even resolution) and same thing.Its like gpu is trying for couple of seconds and nothing.I looked into msi afterburner graphs and immediately i saw that the gpu clock was the problem,after restart and boot in to the game it spikes into 100mhz or 1150 mhz and drops and goes bettwen 300 mhz and 400mhz and never goes up(while fps is the same 15-25).I tried uninstalling gpu drivers at least 10 times ,used DDU and it stays the same.Any help would be great,thanks.

I remember Linus's rant against cheap GPU's and how they are not worth it, but currently can get a R7 250 for £30, or less, which is almost half the normal price for them, is it worth it now or are they still not worth it? I can use it as I have enough parts to make a spare PC for me to either do the occasional gaming session on it in games like minecraft or just cause 2, nothing major, I'm not running my heavily modded skyrim on it or anything incredibly GPU intensive on it.

My PC is running a AMD Athlon II X4 630 @ 2.8 Ghz, along with a R7 250 (Cape Verde, 2GB DDR3 Card). I had MSI's hardware monitor on my second monitor, and I noticed that it was stuck at 800 Mhz, considering I oc'ed it to 1070 Mhz, Theres something wrong since the stock frequency is 1000 Mhz. Any Solutions? It's driving me crazy!

I have an r7 250, which I successfully overclocked to 1150 core clock and 1250(?) memory clock, all was stable and good until a power outage, after which I began seeing weird flickering on my secondary monitor, and I thought the whole video card was fucked, however I found out that the power surge is what caused the overclocks to do that to the monitor. The secondary monitor is plugged in the VGA port, and the main one in the HDMI port, the main one having no issues like that whatsoever. The weirder thing is that it does this flickering even when underclocking, basically whenever i mess with the default values whether it be increasing or decreasing. I've heard this could be caused by fucked VRMs on the graphics card, but I'm not sure really. It works fine with +20% power in furmark (+20% in furmark is the only increase in power that allows the gpu to fully ramp up to the base 1050 speed, otherwise it power throttles down to 1000, and it only happens in furmark). There is no artifacting going on anywhere while the flicker is happening on the secondary monitor, so what can I do to fix this? A workaround that I thought of would be to load an OC profile before playing a game then just turning off the monitor and deal with it that way. Yes, last time I checked (which was before the power outage) these overclocks WERE stable Regardless I would like to know exactly what happened. Fucked VRMs or is someting else fucked? Maybe just the VGA port itself? I can't test the DVI port, I don't have any DVI-D monitors or any DVI-D to VGA adapters for that matter, I only have DVI-I ones. Looking back at the video, I also noticed that messing around with the clocks (both core and memory) for some reason it underclocks the memory to 150. Here's what it looks like on video

In theory, a pcie 2.0/3.0 graphics card should work on a Pcie 1.0 x16 motherboard albeit with reduced speeds. The motherboard in question: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2669#sp The graphics card in question (sapphire r7 250): http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=B4DBE4FA-071A-4291-B92E-F4434BD796FA&lang=eng However the system requirements of the GPU state: PCI Express® 2.0 or higher version based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard in order for the card to be compatible with Which is it? Can the graphics card run on my PCIE 1.0 X16 slot or not?

I recently acquired an old Dell XPS 400 from a friend and decided to upgrade it a bit. First I swapped HDD's and put windows 7 on it, then I purchased a new MSI Radeon R7 250 OC edition and 4GB of ram, the max it can hold. When I got the new card I installed all the new drivers and software before installing the new card because there is no onboard video port. After I installed the drivers I put the card in, it then clicked three times and rebooted then repeated the process until I forced it off. During its off on process an amber led flashed on the Ethernet port and it displayed an error code of 1 and 4, from what I understand the numbers are similar to beep codes. I checked the power supply and I didn't meet the requirements for the card so I swapped it for an older 500w power supply I had hoping it would solve the problem, it didn't. I then looked up the code it was displaying and found that it apparently isn't a code or at least wasn't listed in the manual. Unfortunately I don't know what else to do the GPU should be compatible with it. Hopefully someone will be able to help me, Thanks. My system specs are here, http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/servicetag/597Z891/configuration PS, I also tried swapping the processor to a 3.0 Ghz Pentium 4 with hyper threading with no luck either, I have since switched back to the old one.

Would a 7870k in crossfire with an R7 250 be any good compared to an FX 4350 with gtx 750ti? Anyone have benchmark results for the APU crossfire setup I mentioned?

So i currently run a A8 7650k rig overclocked to 4GHZ on integrated graphics, so im looking for a dedicated graphics card, the problem is im not sure what way to go Option 1: Get an R7 250 for roughly $75 and run it in duel graphics mode along side the APU Option 2: Get a GTX 750 TI for about $115 and run it as a single card What would you suggest is the better option for the money?

So, I want to play PC games like CS:GO and Team Fortress 2 at high setting and still get good fps. However, my prebuilt PC from Best Buy is not up to the task. I figured I might as well install a Graphics Card and a new PSU. My GPU of choice is the MSI Radeon R7 250 2GB, because it is really cheap on Newegg right now. My PSU of choice is the EVGA 430W 80+ Certified. I have two questions, does my case support a dual-slot graphics card, and would I be able to install that PSU in my case. Like, is there any reason for my GPU and PSU to not work with my case? Please help me if you can.

My APU is an A8 7650K, and I'm looking at getting a graphics card to put in my system to up performance, but I'm not sure whether to go with the lower end 250 to get dual graphics, or the higher end 360 by itself. Any advice would be appreciated (I may overclock either gpu slightly, if that makes any difference) 500W PSU 2x4GB 1866 DDR3 (GSkill RipJaw) ASRock AMD FM2+ FM2A68M-HD+

I have a 7870k and MSI DDR3 2gb r7 250 and an MSI A88xi v2 mini-itx motherboard (I'm on Windows 10 btw) I have three options in bios pertaining to dual-graphics. I can set PEG or IGD / set Disabled, Auto, or Dual Graphics / Set frame buffer. I have selected IGD / Dual Graphics / 2gb (since i have a 2gb r7 250). I see both my integrated graphics in the APU and my R7 250 in the Device Manager under Video Adapters. I am currently using Catalyst 15.11.1 beta as I've read the new Crimson drivers don't yet support dual graphics. I've tried every configuration of the bios dual graphics settings and I've tried 15.11.1, 15.7 and the newest beta of the Crimson drivers, just to make sure. The Dual-Graphics option does not come up in CCC. Please help. I'm about to pull my hair out, if i don't figure this out.

So I got this computer for around 330- 340 us dollars. It has 8 gigs of ram, AMD APU 7870k overclocked to 4.1ghz stock and 4.5ghz turbo with integrated r7 250 1 gig and assrock fm2a88m-hd+ r2.0. The stock frequency of the gpu is 866mhz but I can overclock it to around 930-940 without any problems(thanks msi afterburner). My question is: Is it worth it getting a second r7 250 for dual graphics(and if yes which version the ddr3 2 gigs one or the gddr5 1 gig one), or getting a new gpu(for example r9 390x)? I have low budget and in my country few people actually sell pc parts(I mean like on ebay) so the "how much time and money does it take" factor is also very important. I'm happy with the processor (it rarely goes over 3.8) but the gpu is not satisfying at all. To get 40-50 fps on AC rouge I had to to lower the resolution to 1024x720p and that's on medium settings. What do you guys think?
-
so cause of damn budget i needed to get this r7 250. I went to game debate and i compared it to gtx 650 its only 5% worse is that true and is r7 250 good card for its own price. Can you guys pls reccomend so games for this card x4 860k r7 250 8 gb ddr3. I will play mostly older games like lol la noire, resident evil 6..... mostly games from 2011-2013. Are the games from those period playable to high-ultra something mixed. I will play on 4:3 monitor 1280x1024. When i upgrade then i will play on 1600x900. Can u help me out pls. Ty

(Measured with Fraps) * My queries are: 1) Should I change my NB frequency to higher (I can push to 2100 keeping current voltage levels) 2) Do I need to dial down my iGPU OC and bring my CPU OC up? 3) What are the ideal voltages for NB and CPU OC? 4) My iGPU Clock speed in GPU-Z is shown as 1108 Mhz, even though in BIOS it is OC to 1150 Mhz. Is this normal? 4) During Unigine tests my iGPU rarely reaches 1108Mhz. Most of the load seems to be on the R7 250. Is this normal? 4) Any more optimizations/tweaks that I can do?

Hi guys, I hope you can help me with this problem: I´m assembling two computers in my job, with asus m5a97 r2.0 mother and a fx 8320 processor, I chose a asus r7 250 1gb ddr5 video card ( http://www.asus.com/mx/Graphics_Cards/R72501GD5/ ), but believe or not, this is incompatible with the mother (LoL), well again I´m choosing a video card for these pc, these are my options: - SAPPHIRE R7 240 4GB DDR3 WITH BOOST (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1226&pid=2025&psn=&lid=1&leg=0#) - AMD Radeon R7 250 Core Edition - Low Profile (http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/amd-radeon-r7-series/amd-radeon-r7-250-core-edition-r7-250a-zlf4) These are just the only options that I have because my provider manage these (again believe or not, LoL) Both computers need video and good resolution for autocad and sowftware like that. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

So, i have an AMD a10 7850k in a small htpc case, because at the time it was all the space i needed. Now i want to upgrade and throw in a graphics card, but i can only use a low profile card. I know that i could upgrade the case and get a better GPU, but I'm not snobbish and don't mind having these "low quality" cards. So my question is, whats a better card for me? The r7 250 in dual graphics? or the 750ti, with effectively an 860k? Sorry if i put this in the wrong section, or did something else wrong. I'm new here.

NCIX: http://bit.ly/1kG9yJG Amazon: http://georiot.co/2gPt Using AMD Dual Graphics to speed up your system when you have a 7850k and an R7 250 is a no brainer edit: ...or is it???? We've got TWO videos on this topic now! The first one includes just AMD's latest APU against itself and a low end discrete graphics card. In the second video we expand our testing to include other CPU and APU test platforms, and some more powerful graphics cards!

So I went into the bios of my MC server to OC the ram a little bit and make sure it was running okay, I saved and exited the BIOS. The system restarted and now it wont post. HDD light is on all of the time, no blinking. There is also no power leaving the PC through the USB ports and nothing leaving the HDMI, or DVI ports. Here are some things that i've tried: Restarted the PC (About 50 times) Cleared the CMOS(3-4 times) Unplugged all power cables, and plugged back in. Removed the GFX card to run on the IGP, no luck Put in the HDD from my laptop, no such luck' Tried different displays in case my display was bad, nope Used different cables to display an image Tried different RAM, no luck So I went from stock 1600mhz ram and OC'd it to a light 1866, just because. the bios on that board is supper buggy and really bad. Everything is at stock speeds. Please suggest something because I need to get this thing back up and running.

Hello Community! I want to build a cheap video editing pc and I came up with the following parts: cpu: AMD FX 6350 gpu: AMD Radeon R7 250 ram: kingston Hyperx blue DDR3 1333mhz 2x4gb motherboard: ASRock 960GM/U3S3 fx I need your advice for the following questions: 1-what psu should I use? I would like a non-modular, 450watt 80+ bronze psu possibly under 70euros, or alternatively a case with a similar built-in psu for about the same price. if it's insufficient, please let me know. 2-is the cpu good enough, or should I purchase an fx 8320 instead for more cores at the expense of frequency? bare in mind that this pc is ONLY for video editing and I am not interested in any other function except maybe for managing multiple monitors. 3-Is the gpu excessive? or insufficient? would pinnacle 10 make use of a better gpu or not? as montioned, I might have to use multiple monitors on this pc, so I need a gpu that can manage them. 4-did I go too cheap on the motherboard, provided I do not intend to overclock? 5-I was planning on installing windows 7 but I heard that windows 8 manages the AMD fx architecture better. is this true? Thank you in advance for any answer!
