What R10,000 Buys in a Graphics Card Right Now
This bracket covers the entry and lower-middle rungs of the desktop graphics ladder: cards built for 1080p at high frame rates, esports titles well past 100 fps, and recent releases at medium to high settings once an upscaler is switched on. Most people shopping here are either putting together a first gaming PC or replacing a card that is three or more generations old.
Two things decide how well it goes. Memory capacity comes first, because a card that runs out of graphics memory stutters instead of simply running slower. Physical and electrical fit comes second: the length the chassis allows, the power lead your supply actually carries, and whether the processor already in the machine can keep pace at the resolution you play.
