I'm still undecided on a card. Are HD6850's/70's the way forward atm or am I on the wrong track alltogether.

Suggest a card for me in that price range guys pls, I'm so outa the loop hardware wise it's sad hehe. Thanks in advance :twisted:

Edit:

This is the one I have in mind. Anything I should know about, like any downsides to getting Gigabyte. I've never bought that brand before so not sure what I'm getting into.

GIGABYTE AMD Radeon HD6870 - 1GB GDDR5, 256-Bit Memory Bus, PCI

You can pick up a VTX Radeon 6870 for a little over R2000 from The Prophecy Shop or Wootware. Computersonly, Wootware and Prophecy are also selling GeForce 560 Ti for around R2300-R2400.
 
Your looking at a Geforce 560 Ti for that price, they just happen to range from 2.5 to 3k

And the ATI card in that price range is the Radeon HD 6870 i think

At R2500-3000 there really is no choice. You get a HD6950 for R2600, unlock it to a HD6970 and done
 
Can all of them be unlocked or is it just certain cards? *thinks back to the 6800 Ultra days*

Why not get the one from wootware/prophecy? Stock issues? Where are you based?



Success rate is somewhere around 95% iirc across all reference models/manufacturers

I'm here in Durban, seemed logical since ngr are just up the road from me. I'll check out prophecy and wootware but they may be miles away from me.

Edit: They that Take2 card isn't a bad price.
