I'm confused

I was searching for a good graphics card for my pc for a better gaming experience [Not for die hard gaming] and for my work [Photoshop]. I selected R7 250 1GB DDR5! but now I saw R7 250X 2GB DDR5 it has more memory than the other. I don't know much about the X version.

My PSU is 450W please suggest me the best one from this and I need to know that if what are the benefits of more memory. I searched on Gpuboss.com but couldn't find anything useful! Please help me guyz

Hello,

What would probably be best is to tell us how much money you have to spend and let us pick the best card for you. The R7 250X does have more all around power, but that doesn't mean it is necessarily the best card for you. Gpuboss.com isn't a good place to compare how good parts are relative to each other. At Tom's Hardware we maintain a list of graphics cards that compares by performance and by cost to help you pick the best card, so it would be best if you check it too.

AMD does the cad, and an X version. The X version (of the 250) is the same card but with slightly faster turbo clock speed, more shader units, as well as higher memory bandwidth due to there being 2GB VRAM instead of 1GB.

I would go for the 250X if it is not too much more expensive as it performes better and most modern games require at least 2GB VRAM.
