Club 3D has joined the fun and announced two new R7 250 series graphics cards, including the Radeon R7 250 Low Profile and the Radeon R7 250X.


While most, if not all, of the R7 series is based on a standard profile PCB, according to Club 3D there is quite a strong demand for a capable graphics card in the low profile form factor as HTPCs are definitely getting popular, thus putting the R7 250 on a low-profile PCB was definitely a good idea.

While not exactly based on the Oland chip like the rest of the R7 250 graphics cards on the market, the Club 3D R7 250 Low Profile uses Cape Verde GPU, which practically makes it a rebrand of the HD 7750. This gives it 512 stream processors, rather than 384 on the Oland GPU, but slightly slower GPU and memory clocks set at 800MHz for the GPU and 4500MHz for the 1GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 128-bit memory interface. Despite slower clocks, it is still a tad bit faster than Oland equipped R7 250 while TDP is still at 67W which means it does not need an extra PCI-Express power connector.

The Club 3D R7 250X on the other hand packs 640 stream processors and uses a standard, full-height, form-factor PCB. It works at 1000MHz GPU clock and packs 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4500MHz and paired up with a 128-bit memory interface. It uses a dual-slot cooler with a rather large fan in order to keep the GPU and the rest of the graphics card components well cooled.

Both new graphics cards should be available shortly but Club 3D did not go into specifics regarding the price.
