Hey, sup, my girlfriend recently bought an used computer with a AMD Radeon R7 200 series and I was wondering if it's any good, I dont know anything about AMD (only Geforce), so is it any good to play games ? (dont need to play on ultra) ( an example would be great)

This covers 4 of the desktop models(there are two lower), should give you some idea,

The article is from 2014, so I'm guessing not that good/new  XD

There are lots of "R7 200 series" graphics cards....which one do you have?

This assumes you have a desktop computer and not a laptop...and also assumes you do not have a APU.

Oh sorry, I dont know right now and I dont think we can do a dx.diag because she had problems installing the drivers ( PC froze up and crashed)  and it will probably not detect it  : /  . I was actually going to ask for help here but I thought it would be best to send it to a technician since I dont quite know what to do.

DX diag is not needed. Use Speccy.

You can run Speccy to get a picture of your computer or laptop...Download Speccy | Find your computer specs, free!  It will be a general view, but it will identify the processor/APU and other useful info. Take a screenshot and post it here.

You can compare graphics card performance here > PassMark Software - Video Card (GPU) Benchmark Charts
