[H]ard|OCP reviews the AMD Radeon HD 5830 which we have talked about over the past few days. The 5830 is to have 1120 unified shaders running at 800 MHz, 56 texture mapping units, 16 render output units, and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory running at 1 GHz. The suggested retail price is $239. It appears, however, that this is a paper launch, and that the 5830 will not show up until next week. Right now, I cannot find any 5830 graphics cards for sale at NewEgg.com. How does it perform? We will let the article answer that question.
The Radeon HD 5830 is simply positioned perfectly between the Radeon HD 5770 and Radeon HD 5850 in performance. In all three games we tested, we found that it fits well in-between these two video cards performance wise. It delivers a gaming experience that is superior to the Radeon HD 5770. If the performance of the Radeon HD 5770 is just not enough for you, the Radeon HD 5830 will offer big improvements in every game.
