South Africans are still buying expensive graphics cards

Despite the high price of top-end PC hardware in South Africa, local gamers are still buying high-performance components.

An AIB supplier or an AIB partner is a company that buys the AMD (or Nvidia) Graphics Processor Unit to put on a board and then bring a complete and usable Graphics Card or AIB to market.

The Sea Hawk is going to be around R16,000. That's what my 980ti cost.

Add In Board partner. They buy the chips from AMD/nVidia and add it into a board.

Not if you care about DX12. Then it's the RX480. 1060 is fine if all you care about is DX11.

@ R12.500 and climbing in price to R16.500 I would agree (and that is just the Graphics card?) Wonder what the rest of the gaming machines out there costs?
