So i'm getting a new PC soon, and the graphics card that comes with it is AMD R7 250. Is anyone else using it? Are you satisfied with the results?

Well mine are much weaker and I am still using it, and that one can be fine I guess for now. And if AMD did a great job on this one then there is no worry. :)

It really depends, what do you plan on using it for?

Web browsing, movie watching, and 4K Experience without Gaming? That's fine.

Gaming at 1080P with low settings? Easily on most games, but not COD, BattleField, or BattleFront.

Moba Games, and CS:Go are pretty easy to run with almost maxed out settings.

Best Of Luck!

I use a rig with that exact card.
It runs most of the newer games on about Medium for just playing. If you want to record, you might have to dumb down the graphics a bit, but it's not too bad.

If you check out my channel and look at some of my newest stuff, CSGO looks very nice with it. However, if you're going to do a gaming rig, you should really go with Nvidia or Intel.

Well,i'm with Amd radeon HD 7750 and i'm really satisfied,so i think AMD are excellent for Gaming and really bad for videos rendering/montage,like seriously, my opinion is don't go with any of the AMD video cards if you're going to work with programs like Adobe After effects or similar.

I have an AMD Radeon HD 250x series card. I use Adobe Premiere CC to edit and render videos and have only seen one crash and I've edited at least 20 videos since I have gotten my rig and don't really have much of a problem other than that one crash.

It's not about the crashes,it's about the Render time,i was watching some statistics which shows that Nvidia can render faster than AMD.

Mainly gaming, and editing, but i don't really want to play all games on ultra/high with 60fps, i just want to play newer games with decent framerate. Like Battlefield 4...

I'm sure your card will do it on the lowest settings possible, but I'd recommend getting a R9 380 or a 390 if you want to not have to upgrade for atleast 5 years down the road, with playing games at decent frames that are above low settings.

I'd recommend checking out Can I Run It, it's a website that will let you know if you can run games at the minimum requirements, or recommended. If you qualify then your fine, if you don't, then you may need to upgrade(Unless you don't mind playing at below 20 fps, which I've done before on a Geforce GT 610 lol)

Sincerely,
