14 DAY TRIAL // The Radeon R7 250 is the second weakest of AMD's current generation of consumer video cards, but that's not all bad, because that means the power draw and heat generation are low enough to allow for a passive cooler.
Sapphire pounced on that and released the Radeon R7 250 Ultimate, which is the first “in this generation” to “use a passive heatpipe and heatsink cooler with no fan.”
That's what Sapphire says in its press release anyhow.
Spec-wise, the card runs the GPU at 800 MHz and the 1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM memory at 4.5 GHz.
Sapphire says it makes this card the fastest passively cooled 128-bit video board out there (that's the memory interface). The price should be just a bit higher than the normal $89.99 / €89.99.
