    However, if you want to play games, you'll have to settle for 1280x720 res.
    My pc at home currently has a GT210 in so i'm not worried about low graphics or resolution, currently i can play chivalry, SC2, Dota2 and a couple of other games but was looking for a cheap upgrade that will not require me to update anything else in my box.

    I use a sapphire radeon hd 7970 3gb 384 bit and it workd very well...
    The fans can be adjusted to make it super quite and it can run your games in full hd without issues...
    If radeon discounts are coming to SA aswell, then i recomend it (otherwise fork out R6000)

    Whose asking for a 7970? Other than me two months ago...

    Anyway the 630 is good but you could get a better value for money with AMD.

    Hi Glordit, those are outside of my scope... the GT630 is R579.

    7750 --- R1,278.00 -- wootware

    more than double the difference in price and the power requirement is more as well.

    How do you feel about buying second hand graphics cards?

    If you look around, you can probably get a AMD 6770 for around R600.
    The 6770 will knock the socks off the GT630 when it comes to gaming.

    I have no problem with second hand cards as long as they have not been used to death.

    With a very low buget for a GPU like that I would go second hand or APU. If you already have a system definitely go 2nd hand, not worth the R500 for a 630.
