The latest generation of graphics card has been available in South Africa for a while now, and although there are still some stock shortages, many local gamers are wondering which GPU will give them the best performance for their money.<\/p>\n

Both Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 10 Series and AMD’s Radeon RX lineup are available from South African retailers, with the former focusing on high-end gaming performance and the latter on high-value entry-level graphics processing.<\/p>\n

We have measured the pricing of each AMD and Nvidia graphics card against its respective PassMark score in order to create a performance-per-rand value score<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is important to use South African pricing, as the best-value card internationally may not be the same as the best card to buy locally.<\/p>\n

Check out our Radeon RX Series and GeForce GTX 10 Series comparison below:<\/p>\n

Pricing versus Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Because we want to depict an accurate difference in performance per rand, we have used pricing from a single source in order to avoid discrepancies in value score.<\/p>\n

Pricing data is taken from Rebeltech<\/strong> <\/a>and is accurate\u00a0at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
