Following a drought of graphics cards in South Africa – due to the popularity of cryptocurrency mining – many manufacturers have started producing “crypto mining” editions of their GPUs.
These cards boast higher hash rates and better mining efficiency than consumer graphics cards, and usually do not have the multiple display ports seen on their gaming-focused counterparts.
While stock of most mid-range Radeon RX-series and GTX 10-series cards remains depleted, a number of mining edition cards are now available in South Africa.
We have listed the crypto-mining cards currently available in South Africa below, including the upcoming Sapphire Radeon RX 470 models which have yet to receive a local release date.
Graphics cards listed as “out of stock” were not included.
