XFX Radeon HD 5830

Pros: Good Cooling, power efficient
Cons: None

XFX Radeon HD 5830 Review: The radeon HD 5830 is comes within HD 5770 and HD 5850. It is a derivative of the HD 5870 with fewer stream processors and texture units. This HD 5830 is churned out of the HD 5870 silicon chips.  In contrast to the HD 5850, which has 1440 stream processors and 32 ROPs, this has 1120 stream processors(22 percent less)  and half the number ROPs.  To make up for fewer stream processors and  ROPs to some extent, the HD 5830 is clocked 10.3 percent faster than the HD 5830.

   1GB of GDDR5 memory tied to the 256-bit wide bus runs at the same speed of 1000Mhz. Like the HD 5850, the card draws power from a pair of 6- pin PCIe connectors. The cooler is slightly different than that on the HD 5850. This one's much lighter, with a 75 mm fan in the middle of the heat carried by four copper pipes emerging from the base.

 The HD 5830 is around 33 percent slower than the HD 5850 and around 12 percent slower than the 1GB variant of GTX 460. At 1920*1080, it churned out 27 fps in just Cause 2 (Very high and 8*CSAA), and 26 fps in Crysis Warhead(Enthusiast mode and no AA). It took a very bad hit in the Unigine Heaven 2.1 benchmark and tessellation enabled, in which both the GTX 460 and HD 5850 were 30 percent faster.

Specifications:

GPU:  ATI Radeon HD 5830
Core: 800Mhz
Memory speed: 1000Mhz
Video Memory: 1 GB GDDR5
Memory bus width: 256-Bit
Stream Processor: 1120
Power: 2*6-pin PCIe

Price in India: 15500 approximately.
