We test our graphics card with a full-level playthrough of our selected game or the games’ built-in benchmark tool. We record the run with Fraps. All our games were set to maximum in-game detail settings unless stated otherwise. Resolutions are shown in the charts.
Our test suite is fresh and we don’t have much data to present for now. We will increase the number of cards in the charts as we go on. All data are presented for your own conclusion.

[tabs style=”nav-tabs”] [tab title=”Battlefield 4″]Battlefield 4 is one of the hottest titles of 2013 and continues to prove itself a worthy game. Based on DICE’s Frostbite Engine 3, this game’s lush details and visuals are just stunning but can really stress any modern GPU. Level tested is the escape from Baku with wide open space and collapsing building showing what the Frostbite 3 engine can do.
[singlepic id=17095Â w=680 h=680 float=center] [/tab] [tab title=”Crysis 3″]The most visually intense game to ever been made. Prophet is back to take on the Ceph and Cell after a long sleep and the world isn’t what it was when before he got frozen. CryEngine 3 is behind this beautiful beast that will put a lot of systems to their knees. The opening level shows off the particle and water rendering of the engine.
[singlepic id=17096Â w=680 h=680 float=center] [/tab] [tab title=”Bioshock Infinite”]One of the greatest stories to have ever been told. Bioshock Infinite puts players in the shoes of Booker DeWitt as he takes on the world in this critically-acclaimed title delivered via Unreal Engine 3.
[singlepic id=17097Â w=680 h=680 float=center] [/tab] [tab title=”Tomb Raider”]The reboot of the gaming phenomenon Tomb Raider puts players in Lara Croft’s hiking boots as she explores the ruin of Yamatai in this origins game. Powered by a modified Crystal Engine, the game features TressFX which creates beautifully rendered hair animation.
[singlepic id=17098Â w=680 h=680 float=center] [/tab] [tab title=”DOTA 2″]The most popular game on Steam and the biggest competition in eSports; DOTA 2 is powered by the Source engine. The game is fairly light on low to medium settings but maxed out with heavy action on screen especially during clashes can really stress some systsems.
We use the built-in timedemo and benchmarking tool. DOTA2 only shows average FPS so we will be reflecting that in this test. Our timedemo features a heavy clash in the bottom lane for the maximum real-world system load the game can generate.
[singlepic id=17099Â w=680 h=680 float=center] [/tab] [tab title=”Batman: Arkham Origins”]Batman: Arkham Origins is the prequel to the highly successful Arkham series of Batman games from RockSteady. Rocking Unreal Engine 3, the game has superb detail and puts a decent load on modern systems.

[singlepic id=17108Â w=680 h=680 float=center]The card curiously gets some serious performance boost when OC’d in this game. We’d suspected something was up but a few runs and we still get similar results. Since Battlefield 4 showed the same jump in performance, we’re inclined to believe its well within reason.

hm kaya to?
4k par, nakalagay jan ung price sa review
walang crossfire bridge yan no?
wala bro, bridgeless na crossfire ni amd sa new cards nila eh

can this run dx 11? pasok kaya toh sa board ko asrock n68c-s ucc? ano po kaya mas ok gt730 o r7 250 – in search of a budget ddr3 2gb na playable fps sa watchdogs and witcher 3 sana .. Thanks
Parehas high-end and optimized for nvidia yang games mo bro. I suggest sticking sa GT730 pero pag ganyan kasi case, best recommendation ko is save until kaya mo na mag-midrange like gtx960 although kung ok lang sayo stick sa rig mo muna GT730 tol oks ka na, low-med sa 720p
bossmac thank you sa input!! ill take your advice save muna then palit mas ok na VC tpos baka sabay ko na mobo and proc… baka d na kaya ng 2yr old mobo ko eh.. hehehe…. para kahit papano malaro ko ung mga palabas pa ng games… salamat ng marami boss!!!
you’re welcome bro
boss eh kung mag gtx750 kaya pede na? mas mura eh.. heheheh
Pwede na rin bro, iba lang talaga performance nya sa 750ti pero di naman malayo.
bro maayos ba dota2 dito? 21′ monitor ko. Salamat :)
Plan ko din prang ito bilhin ko.pro…ngaalangan pa,ksi ung monitor ko prang my sira na..kea.ito ba o ung monitor(BENQ 15.6″ BQ G615HDPL LED WIDESCREEN BLK monitor) gpu na gamit ko ngayon is palit gt730 2gb ddr3,96cuda core,700-850(overclocked) ok pa nmm display ng monitor na gmit ko.pro luma na tingnan,so monitor ba o r7 250 nlng? Gamit ko procie athlon x2 250 3ghz.tia po :-)
kung matitiis mo pa bro, irecommend ko pagsabayin mo na. Hindi na ba enjoy sa GT730, mejo bottlenecked ka ng processor mo baka dahil dun kaya di mo naeenjoy masyado ung performance ng gpu?
sir a6-6400k procie and a68-fm2 gigabyte unit ko. swak ba to dito?
sakto lang bro, ano ba games mo?
sir nakabili na ako nito at ok naman ang performance. pero mejo may mga small waves sa screen eh, tapos pag on board ko wala naman. pinalitan namin ng ibang vcard tapos wala na yung parang mga waves na mga lines pero pag r7 ginagamit ko meron na nman. posible po ba na sa power supply ko ang prob? genericpsu lang kasi gamit ko
dota 2 lang naman nilalaro ko sir. gusto ko lang kasi mawala yung lags kasi ang sakit sa mata
hmmm nainstall mo na yung latest drivers and na-set ung optimal resolution?
opo sir,. latest drivers na po lahat. try ko nalang muna to ng dvi cable, sana maging ok
sige bro iniisip ko baka sa VGA cable lang yan, ganyan din kasi ung mga lumang LCD monitors ko. may waves pag VGA.
R7 250 2gb nlng…at cguro add nlng ko 4gb ddr3 1333 pra maging 2×4 na ram ko.. sana d magblema ung athlon x2 250 ko..la na talaga budget eh :-( oonga ..prang d contented sa gt730 dti sana ung gt730 (300+) cuda core nlng binili ko… :-( pro amd nlng muna mahilig ksi ako mga emu katulad ng ps2 psp ps1 etc..try ko performace bka mas bumilis :-) anyway bro bossmac salamat :-)
welcome bro, feedback na lang sa results. mahirap talaga mamili sa ganyang price range kasi konti lang talaga choices. talagang naglalaro sa upper 5k onwards ang magaganda vidcards eh.
sa mga user po nitong r7 250, anu po gamit ninyong power supply mga sir? please reply po
