New video card day! - Powercolor Radeon R7 250

Got a new video card yesterday from Newegg, got to test drive it a little this evening.
I have to say, I'm very impressed. I was able to run Red Faction: Guerrilla at high settings at 1440x900 with good framerates. I downloaded Planetside 2 just to really test it, and I was able to do medium settings at 1440x900 at
fantastic
framerates (Great! Now I can delete PS2 and forget it exists).
I'm tired of seeing games get benchmarked with lower-end cards at 1080p at medium detail, posting average framerates of 25 FPS, and then gamers be like, "games r totally unplayable, stupid card, might run Minecraft but u still get only liek 115fps, not acceptable, only by if you need use Notepad or cmd prompt, maybe MS paint but u still need radeon r9 290x to get that run smoothly lol BY 2 TITAN X RUN IN SLI OR U NO GAME EVER kthxbai"
Remember the days when we ran games at 15 fps at 320X240 and
liked
it?
Basically, anyone needing a perfectly capable card for gaming on the cheap, I can recommend the R7 250. Doesn't even require any external power, so if you've got a PCI-E 16x slot and a 300+W power supply, you can game with it. Can confirm.
EDIT: Just tried the all-important Unreal Tournament (UT4) Pre-alpha. Runs butter-smooth at 1280x768 with FXAA on at low details. Sure, it's a little... fuzzy, but it plays great and still manages to look fairly nice. Should mean I'm good for both SolC and D:U.

I, for one, hope this is
much, much
more than a reconnaissance mission.

You get used to it. You get used to seeing the better graphics and high framerate then anything less just looks bland. But I guess that goes both ways... If you find a fun game and the graphics or framerate aren't so great, you get used to that too.
But your pic isn't showing so I looked it up on Amazon:
Amazon.com: Powercolor Radeon R7 250
Edit: now your pic is showing, because I looked at the link from the page source. If the pic isn't showing for anyone else follow this link then see if it shows:
