It appears that 'R7 250' can mean either a cape verde or oland radeon depending on the model. Both are GCN parts. 4k 30Hz should be possible with HDMI, 4k 60Hz on HDMI requires HDMI 2.0 Both claim support for displayport 1.2 which should be able to do 4k 60Hz. HDMI 2.0 seems to only be on later hardware with DCE >= 11 carrizo (not carrizo-l which is mullins), polaris etc. With the low end radeons displayport is sometimes only available on oem models of cards sold as options for systems marketed as business desktops or workstations. And as mentioned earlier for acceleration you'll currently have to build a different version of Mesa than what OpenBSD releases/snapshots ship with.
