Updated 4 November 2026

In South Africa, an entry-level graphics card costs about R 950 to R 2,999, a 6 to 8 GB card about R 4,399 to R 8,629, and 16 GB cards about R 11,499 to R 30,152. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. To compare the right card for your PC, post a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Warranty and what it covers

Gigabyte lists three years of limited local warranty on its graphics cards, and NVIDIA gives three years of consumer coverage on GeForce cards. Under the Consumer Protection Act, a card also carries an implied warranty of quality for six months, so it should be suitable for its purpose. Warranties cover manufacturing defects and normal use, while accidental damage and customer-induced damage are excluded. Check the terms before you install the card.

Memory, size and PC fit

Video memory is given in gigabytes (GB), and the card's length in millimetres and its power needs in watts must fit your case and power supply. Check the free PCIe slot on your motherboard before you order. The climate is hot in summer, from December to February, so check the airflow in the case as well.

New or used, and delivery

Ask whether the card is new or used. Used cards can be cheaper, but the warranty may not carry over, so ask the seller to confirm the terms in writing. Ask whether delivery to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town or Gqeberha is included and how long it takes.

What to write in your request

Name the card model if you know it, or say what you want it for, such as gaming at 1080p, editing, rendering or office work. Give the memory you need in GB, whether the card should be new or used, the brand you prefer and your budget in rand. Add your city for delivery.
