Maybe have a look at the GeForce GTS250. This will keep you happy for a while, and you can pick one up from Matrix Warehouse for about R1150.

LOL. The 5670 is a better choice.

With DDR5 which gives double the bandwidth of DDR3.

Stop trying to look clever. You're failing.

64GB (5670)against 70.4GB(GTS250). Yea...that's exactly double the bandwith.

Qwikslver: the GTS 250 would give you way better framerates than the HD 5670, BUT it doesn't have DX11 support!

I can't see anything besides power consumption that makes the 5670 a better choice for gaming.

DX11.

DX11.

Like all the games support DX11. And it makes the DX9 card look like an 1988 Atari. I bet you won't notice the difference unless they are side by side. And to recommend a card on the basis of DX11 support to a guy with a R4500 budget is a bit silly.

How does the HD5770 1GB compare to the other 2? (Performance wise)

Only ~R300 more expensive...

Wow... that looks like the one i'm gonna go for... not that much more expensive but much better performance...

Thanks all for your input... i think i'm ready to start ordering the parts
