AMD has now officially announced its newest member of the Radeon R7 lineup, the R7 250X graphics card aimed to fill in the gap between the already available R7 250 and the R7 260 graphics cards.


Based on same 28nm Cape Verde GPU as the Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition, which is now called the Oland GPU, it is still based on the GCN 1.1 architecture and lacks True Audio support. The new R7 250X packs 640 Stream Processors, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs as well as works at 1000MHz GPU clock and features 1 or 2GB of memory paired up with a 128-bit memory interface.

Although AMD suggest that the new R7 250X should be available as of this week, some of our sources are still suggesting March as the availability date and it might be that some retailers/e-tailers first want to get rid of the HD 7770 GHz Edition stock.

The price is set at US $99 which is pretty much in line with the HD 7770 GHz Edition and should go against Nvidia's GTX 650 graphics card, which sells for around €100.
