AMD has been spitting out new graphics cards like crazy since launching the Radeon HD 5000 series five months ago. With today's release that translates into almost two new graphics cards each month.

Looking at the budget and mid-range segments you'll notice that there is no more than $40 separating each card. So why the big gap between the Radeon HD 5770 and 5850? As it turns out AMD has been planning to plug this hole all along with yet another offering. The Radeon HD 5830 is expected to come in at somewhere around $250, ~15% cheaper than the 5850.


Appearance and form factors aside, what we are most excited about is having a new Radeon HD 5800 product at more affordable price tag, that is, as long as AMD has kept the value proposition and performance balance as good as it sounds on paper. Let's find out.

No, I always find the red rooster conclusions unusual.

It's kind of a raging roided ragging rude and wreckless roundabout way for them to "support the underdog", tell a bunch of lies, justify their stupidity in their idiotic purchase, make up for the GSOD's, lack of PhysX Cuda and openCL, and all the rest of the crap they put up with owning the low rent dirtball card, ati.

So, in order to make up for it they go on wild spinning sprees that would make most politicians blush.

They're really good at it, they fool eachother all the time.

It's like being pop culture cool and a tool at the same time.

So that's what they do, just claim a wad of BS, repeat it to each other and everyone else, then pretend that's what everyone should believe.

It's like a wussy with estrogen and PMSD controlling everything they think and say.

Thanks for counting. I know it was a hassle, I've had to do it before a LOT. They lie all the time.

LOL troll much? What was the rant all about? I have to say that made absolutely no sense but I am getting the feeling that you have shares in Nvidia?
