AMD Radeon R7 250 vs AMD Radeon HD 8470

Radeon R7 250 vs Radeon HD 8470 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon R7 250 graphics card is better than the Radeon HD 8470 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon R7 250 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon R7 250 has significantly more memory with 2 GiB of memory compared to 1 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon HD 8470 has a significantly lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the Radeon R7 250 at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R7 250 is better than the Radeon HD 8470.
