I don't really know what DVB-T2 is or how it is any different from our current DSTV package, but I did read that it IS coming to SA and that analog will be seized Dec 2013. http://www.dvb.org/about_dvb/dvb_worldwide/south_africa/ Here is a TV card that I think isn't bad. It's both analog and digital...

Thanks! I have checked all the sound levels, they are set to full. Even tried room correction etc! I'll check it out.

Okay thanks, but is it better than the onboard sound? And will I also be able to have access to settings like an equalizer etc?

Guys I'm sorry for the dumb questions, but I reckon rather look like a fool than wondering forever. Components: Asus P7H55-M Radeon HD5750 1GB Logitech X530 5.1 140w Question: I have been struggling to get my speakers to play like I think they ought to. I run my sound through the onboard audio. When...

Mmmm... Interesting! Digital broadcasting? I think I want to google it! Thanks for the advice guys

I'm looking for a TV Tuner Card for my PC, around R500.00 or less. I've searched the web but I have no idea what to look for, there are so many. Basically I'm a student and I'm going to get the DSTV compact package for my flat, I've got a Sasmung 24" HD screen and want the clearest picture poss...

Yeah, downloaded the new drivers from ATI/AMD!

I did uninstall from the catalyst thing, not from the control panel. Think I'll just have to format!

Thanks guys

Well at first when I got the card I installed the drivers from the disc I got with the card. Furthermore I did nothing , now I 've restored the computer to an earlier time and it works again, except when I try to open the Catalyst Control Panel it doesn't open. As soon as I uninstall the drivers and...

It boots fine into safe mode, but I can't get it to boot and stay on in normal mode! I don't want to format cause I just installed BFBC2 and it took forever to update and I don't know how to backup the updates!

Hi!

I've unistalled my Force3D HD 5750 drivers, to install newer drivers. The thing is after I unistalled and rebooted into windows, the PC pops out a blue screen with lots of white words and restarts.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.

ANY HELP PLEASE?????????

Hi peeps! Sorry if this question sounds noobish and irretates people, but it's been a while since I last played games online. I recently built a PC for a bit of gaming and want to get a nice game to play online, and I don't want to pay R349.00 for a game that I wont be able to enjoy. I saw on the SG...

Mmmm....Maybe I'll be able to manipulate the budget a bit and throw in a GTS 250 1GB just for the extra graphics.

Hi to all! It's been a while since I last built up a PC since I've gone to University etc. Basically I want to build a PC that I'll be using for projects in MS Office and just watch movies, listen to music etc. Not for gaming purposes or so on. I have a budget of approx R6000.00 and had the followin...

Rather do more research and clock in your BIOS, much better! Clocking in windows is for noobs who dont understund clocking well...

Plus if you clock in the BIOS it shos in windows, if you clock in windows it doesnt show anything!

It's just better and more proffesional to clock in BIOS, believe me!

Depends on your budget.... GTX280 if you can afford it, otherwise HD4850/70

WTF, get some airflow in the case, take a compressor and blow the fan and heatsink clean, check if the fan is running as it should...

If you don't find a solution to the problem, take it back to where you bought it and let them check

Oh and another question - Will this card work in my mobo? Asus M2N-SLI-DELUXE nForce 570 SLI chipset etc etc?

Cause I hear the new cards are v2 or 2.0 or something, i'n dumb with these things, just wanna make sure?

JA the 4850 is far beyond my budget. I'm still in school, doing matric, and I have a girl to entertain, so money for my hobbies are limited due to that. I've ordered the GeCube HD3850 512mb X-Turbo III edition from prohecy for R1176 inc VAT, It has a nice cooler on it and the reviews are impresive f...

Hi peeps! I sold my 8600GT and I'm looking for a new card. You guys must just note that I am not Bill Gates' son so I don't have a huge budget. I'm looking for something with more performance than a 8600GT, so I looked at a Gecube HD3850 256mb Pro for R999 brand new, this is very cheap and I looked ...

Shot!

And where might I get a 4850 for R2000

It's a joke...Coz give me a ATI card for R1400 that will match the 9600GT's performance?

It's impossible, so no ATI thanks, I'm an NVIDIA fan and my mobo has an NVIDIA chipset, so i'd like to stick to geforce

Hi people.

I currently have a Legend 8600GT as you can see in my sig.

Now my question is - IS it worth it upgrading to a 9600GT and do any of you know or trust the brand Zotac?

Cause I see it is by far cheaper than all 9600GT's, it costs only R1400 brand new.

Any advice, thanks
