I want to know why the R7 250 2gb DDR3 is slow than the R7 250 1gb DDR5? the ddr3 version with 2gb sdram is cheap whereas R7 1gb DDR5 is slightly high,
which one is best to buy, i want to run Crysis 3 and watch dogs in 1280*720 30 fps

Can' t buy RX460 im short in money, its either the r7 ddr3 or r7 ddr5
Tell me which is best? 2gb ddr3 or 1gb ddr5 and why all say ddr5 version is fast inspite of 2gb in ddr3? is it difference in hardware?
 
Gddr5 version is faster because the vram is faster. 1gb vs 2gb doesn't help here since the gpu is too weak. It's a low end card and they put on more vram for other uses that just need more pixels and not performance. It should get 30fps on low for those games.
 


Does it have to do with the amount of stream processors? like 384 in 2gb version ddr3 and 512 in 1 gb ddr5?
 


how much is your money and where do you live ? I can try help you find good price
 


I live in Chennai, India. Here in India the prices of graphics cards are way high than in US, for eg. if a card sells at 75$ in US its 90$ here (its in INR just telling you the difference in money), plus we have no access to specific retail shops that have these cards rather rely on amazon.in like sites but they are likely to sell the cards at high prices and delivery charges are high, hence lots of poor gamers in this country,
My specs
Intel i3-2120 3.3 GHz
4gb RAM (2*2) Both 833 Mhz
Intel DH61WW motherboard
1TB Toshiba 5400rpm HDD
Intex cabinet with 450W (20+4 pin sata)
I can afford r7 250 and its the cheapest and fastest card at its price compared to the GT730 at its price rate,
hence tell me which one to buy the R7 ddr5 version 1gb or 2gb ddr3 version?
Why the ddr5 version perform faster than ddr3?
