    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.
    Rather get a 5770 or a 5850, I am sure you can still find quite a few of those lying around Carbonite. As far as I remember the 6770 wasn't as valuable as a 5770, considering you can get a 5770 for cheaper because of it being 2 gen old.
    contact me if you are in Cape Town and looking for PC Hardware at very competitive pricing. We also do web and graphic design.

    That true for the 5850.
    I was considering about the warranty part.
    Since most cards, except EVGA, comes with 1-3 years warranty, a 5770/5850 would be out of warranty by now

    I have/had a 5770 and it has a 3 year warranty, it is getting replaced as we speak

    As much as I love Nvidia; the 780 isnt that much of an improvement over the 7970 to justify such a R2000 price bump. However if you are able to hustle it for lower than get it good sir and enjoy
