    I was expecting the R7 430 to destroy the R7 250. Very disappointing. Great video!

      Hi @PM5kBlast and thanks for your comment mate, yes me too! I thought the R7 430 would be much faster than it turned out to be. Core clock speed appears to be more important in these low-core count GPUs, as I guess the GPU just isn't fast enough to utilise all that memory bandwidth. Cheers, Bob.

      A rebrand of the R7 240, which is basically an R7 250 with lower clocks. The instances where it outperformed the R7 250 are examples of invalid test results stemming from lackadaisical methodology. There was probably some process running in the background the couple of times it performed worse than the R7 430. There is no way that should have happened.

    It's a shame that the card was runing so hot, i think a overclock to match the R7 250 clock speeds (or at least get close) would really benefit this card

      Hi @R3AL-AIM and thanks for your comment mate. $20.00 USD is what I'd expect a card like this to cost, but for some reason, here in the UK. they're much more expensive. I've just checked, and they're still priced on eBay at around $45 USD. I agree that there's much better options in the price range. Here, you'd be lucky to find an RX 550 4GB for that price, but you'd almost certainly be able to pick up a GT 1030. Cheers. Bob.

      @R3AL-AIM Yeah, the GT 1030 is not a terrible card, and would be a go-to for a low profile system. However, I felt that it was overpriced, even on the second-hand market, for the performance it delivered. Prices for this card are becoming more reasonable in the UK, but I think there might better options in the price bracket. I'll be taking a look at these in future videos, when I get there!

    I think that because I was researching this video card, the video on your channel came to me.
    I can't really understand your analysis, I'm Brazilian and I barely speak my Portuguese!! 😁😁
    Well, what I would like to say is that this little card is more than it seems!!
    If you invest in good heat dissipation, it yields surprisingly well!!
    I play SFV at 60 FPS on custom graphics between ultra and medium and graphics scaling at 80%
    And look for the HP driver from 2022 (the most recent) that recognizes the card as R7 430 and can increase its voltage to 1000MHz and 1300 MHz in DDR5; also change the FAN curve to something more aggressive!
    I also increased the power by +20
    (Or make a change in the bios right away, trust me, it works!!)
    Alert!!
    Don't forget to come up with a good dissipation scheme, I tied an aluminum heatsink and a 6000 rpm FAN to the string and it's working for me here!!!
    Do this and redo your test and you'll be surprised!
    Take care!!!

      Hi @emersoncherubic626 and thanks for your comment mate. I may give the R7 430 a second chance, I could clean and re-paste my one and see if that brings the temps down. I don't think I'll go down the route of custom cooling, as there are other cards that will perform better and can be purchased for a cheaper price. Cheers, Bob.

  • @Lurch-Bot

    The R7 250 is cheaper and performs slightly better. Just because the model number is bigger, doesn't make it better. The 430 is essentially a 250 with lower clocks. You need some fresh paste on the GPU. Should be nowhere near that hot. Your result where the R7 250 performed worse than the 430 was obviously an invalid result. Windows was probably installing an update or something when you were running that one . Did you check clocks to see it was running?
    I was using an R7 250 in a Windows 10 retro machine for playing games via digital licenses. I upgraded to a 560Ti to stretch my range and provide support for PhysX only games. Someone didn't use DDU when switching between GPUs, I think. If you ran the R7 250 after you ran the Quadro, it would totally make sense. Probably was confused about which driver it was supposed to be using. If you want to do a test like this, reinstalling Windows between GPUs is a great way to get normalized results. DDU is hardly foolproof. Of course, you could have tested the AMD cards on the same driver and then reinstall Windows for the Quadro test. In my experience, you tend to not have issues switching to an Nvidia GPU but then if you want to go back to an AMD afterwards, there can be problems. IDK if the ordering in the charts represents the order in which you did the testing but that would make sense.
    If you'd done your homework better, you'd know the 430 is a rebranded 240, which is a lower clocked 250 and would have realized your results had discrepancies. Nice try though. I'm sure you'll get it eventually.

    • @yesterdaysram1375

      Hi @Lurch-Bot and thanks for your comment mate. I have to confess, I did not reinstall Windows after each card. I'm not Hardware Unboxed or Gamers Nexus, and I'm doing this for fun, as a hobby. I did however, completely remove the AMD drivers via Windows Device Manager, and reinstall for the R7 430 benchmarks. Yes, it's always possible that something has occurred in the background to skew the results, if I notice, I do retest to get a representative result. The driver for the R7 250 and R7 430, as far as I'm aware, is the same (AMD R7 200 series) as, like you said, they're the same card with different clocks.
      TechPowerUp does list the R7 430 as a rebrand of the R7 240/340, however. the AMD R7 240 I have is a slightly cut down Oland GPU with 320 shaders. Also, on TechPowerUp the memory is listed as DDR3 at 1000Mhz, and the card I have uses GDDR5 @1100Mhz. So I've learned to take TechPowerUp as more of a guide than a code.
      Yes, I'm sure a clean and re-paste would improve the thermals and allow a bit of overclocking head-room, and if it could reach 1050Mhz on the core it would probably perform a little better than the R7 250 thanks to the increased memory bandwidth, but it's just not worth the current asking price. At this price point, there are better options, cheers, Bob.

      Hi @kokodin5895 and thanks for your comment mate. Other channels have covered the DDR3 4GB R7 cards, and say the additional memory isn't worth it as the cards were just not powerful enough to utilise the additional memory effectively. From my testing of the R7 430, I imagine the same would be true for a 4GB R7 240 with GDDR5. Cheers, Bob.

    Recently a local store put on sale a r7 250 oc from msi with 5% more clock speed and more importantly a bigger fan and heatsink, considering it is only at 33$ I wonder if I can get it to surpass the r7 430 with some additional overclocking and not toasting the card in the process 😂

      @yesterdaysram1375  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi @LovelyZaia, the DDR3 on the R7 250 is really going to hurt it's performance, even with a core OC. An R7 430 with an OC would be better, if you can find one that runs cool enough ;)

    • @LovelyZaia
      @LovelyZaia หลายเดือนก่อน

      @yesterdaysram1375 yeah but the thing is that the r7 430 runs really hot (around 92 degrees) when overclocked, or that's what i've seen in other video about the card, probably that little cooler isn't good enough for that, the r7 250 from msi is a dual slot card with a chonky heatsink that was promoted as overclockable

    • @yesterdaysram1375
      @yesterdaysram1375  หลายเดือนก่อน

      @LovelyZaia Mine certainly ran hot, I might give it a clean and re-paste for another video, see if a little more can't be squeezed from the core. That MSI card is full width, and that gives you more options over a low-profile only card, I'm not sure about your region, but are there not better GPUs in the 30$ range available? Cheer, Bob.
