[name_less]

Thanks mate, This 6770 looks promising http://www.ikonicit.co.za/graphics-cards/ati/hd6000-series/msi-hd6770-1gb.html

How much do they charge for shipping? (404 error)

I'm not sure cause i mostly pick up my order from them.
If you click on check it out it gives a price of R90 for shipping not sure how accurate it is, the best is to actually phone and confirm from them.

Brought it, thanks again mate

Says it needed a 450w PSU and 2 spare power rails, but I only have a 400w and 1 spare power rail, seems to be working okay though, can I expect any problems?

Well the card won't work on full power, won't give very good performance as to what it should and as far as I know could shorten its life span if the required power needs is not met

 

[tpex]

Thanks, Guess I will start looking for a new PSU, LOL

 

[simon]

Yeah sorry for that bit of bad news, however a good power supply is never a bad investment unless you overpay for it of course. It should be something that you only need to buy once or something that lasts the longest of the computer other then the case.

 

[tpex]

LOL I need a new case as well. card does not fit 100% and therefor the VGA plug does not either!

Okay looking at 500w PSUs, which is better?

or

Stay away from Rebeltech..

I remember reading somewhere that they scammed 2 guys over on myBB.

Otherwise save up and get a better card. You wasting your time buying something that's < 6850/550Ti.

I have heard of the Isonic being called the sonic booms because they tend to blow up inside people's pc's. Don't know how often it has happened but I would stay away from them if I were you.

However if you can muster about another R200 odd then go for the Huntkey 550W. It is 80+ certified and has a better reputation then XGR and Isonic

 

[tpex]

Huntkey it is then, thanks guys

The HD5770 is a much much better card than the 6670 and not much more http://rebeltech.co.za/index.php?ma...earch_in_description=1&keyword=HD5770&x=0&y=0

I'm a rebeltech loyalist, however, I have never shipped. Always pick up. Same with Zaps. Both shops are good. both cards are the same. If it is a choice between those two, get whichever is cheaper with shipping included. but I would recommend getting a better card :/ expecially with Skyrim coming out

Rebeltech is an amazing shop, with amazing pricing. Friendly staff and always ready to help with any queries I have. I only shop at rebeltech and they have yet to let me down. The people who got "scammed" probably didn't pay up soon enough or whatever. I always rock up with cash or do an EFT the day I order.

No problem, my brother just picked himself up one. Got it for R440 so it isn't badly priced. It is the green edition so when in idle mode it's power consumption is really low which is pretty cool.
