Graphics Card

Post by NiteShade »

Hey guys,

I need advice regarding a graphics card. I don't really want to spend more than R3000.00 and to be honest I have no clue what a decent new card costs.

Any suggestions? I do prefer Nvidia.


Thanks okes,

Jarrod or Skoup should know, only think I would say is don't limit yourself to nVidia the AMD 7850 series (I think ) is extremely good value for money

for uber card (if you like nvidia) that ain't too expensive: http://www.landmarkpc.co.za/store/gtx760-xlr8-nvidia-geforce-graphics-card-p-10292.html
R3300 - just R300 over budget - but speak to skoups/drags - likely they can source from frontosa which is dealer priced rather than retail priced and if they stock the PNY ones, it'll prolly be round about the R3k mark on-the-nose

I've only been wrong once, and that's when I thought I was wrong.

^^ Good choice that for the price. I don't have access to my Frontosa price list at the moment, will get prices for you on Monday. I doubt it'll be cheaper though, Frontosa typically don't price well on GPUs.

Hello. If you can get away with a 7850, my friend has ridiculous pricing on some GPU's etc that he bought in bulk. Have a looky loo :
