Entry GPU for basic desktop output

The MSI Radeon R7 250 1GB GDDR5 128bit graphics card targets users who need a discrete display adapter for everyday computing. It fits a PCI Express 3.0 16X slot and draws power from the motherboard without extra connectors.

1GB GDDR5 frame buffer at 4600MHz

The 1GB GDDR5 memory running at 4600MHz across a 128bit bus handles office applications, video playback and multiple monitors up to 2560×1600. Modern games or heavy 3D workloads will exceed the available capacity and bandwidth.

Compact board with standard bracket

The card uses a standard full-height bracket and a small heatsink, so it fits most tower and small-form-factor cases. Display outputs provide VGA, DVI and HDMI for legacy and current monitors without adapters.

Questions about this item

Will this PCI Express 3.0 16X card run in my older PCIe 2.0 motherboard slot?

Yes, the PCI Express 3.0 16X interface is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots, so the card will function at the slot's maximum speed.

How can I verify the 4600MHz memory clock is active after installing the card?

Open GPU-Z or AMD Radeon Software and check the memory clock reading; it should report 4600MHz GDDR5 when the card is under load.

Does the box include a DVI-to-VGA adapter or only the card itself?

The listing states there is no original packaging and no other accessories are included, so only the graphics card is supplied.
