AMD's last series was 7000, 200 series was actually a tad bit of a joke cause Nvidia had an 8k series then went down to 200... so AMD sorta followed suit and that's a remnant of the fact they nearly named it the 8k series

Just wanna make sure that I really bought a 270x and didn't get scammed or something...

Yup, if you search you can find the older cards before they were renamed to the 200's that follow the same numbering system :)

Same cards, different names.

The 8xxx series AMD cards are OEM versions of the 7XXX series. If it's a 270x then it will most likely be the drivers confusing it with an OEM card for some reason because 7870=8870=270x

 

Installed the drivers and then it told me there was a new version SO MORE FUCKING WAITING...

 

I hate drivers right now...especially since I'm only using this card for 2 days...

Honestly I commonly just sit on old drivers for 3 months or til drivers known to be good come out as to save time...

This is why I don't use the "auto detect" drivers. If you just select your card in the first place it all goes smoothly.

*Risky click of the day*

How do I find out what my frames per second  is?

 

Fraps, afterburner overlays. There are a few utilities now that will display frame rates in the corner of the screen for you. I just use whatever GPU overclocking utility I have installed at the time. At the moment I've got EVGA precision X installed and it does the job pretty well
