Pros

Silvertachaward.png, The price might drift down to $200, Unmatched feature set, Fills the huge performance gap nicely, Full 256bit memory architecture, 1.79 TeraFLOPS for < $250 (at launch), HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces included, Wide selection.
Performance in synthetic tests ran close to the costlier Radeon HD 5850

Cons

Only 1120 Stream Processors, Only 16 ROPs, same as HD5770, GPU clock almost maxed out, Requires more power and cooling than HD5850, Power supply cost may keep card price from falling
Large; uses more power under load than HD 5850; at high resolutions, runs just a few frames per sec ahead of HD 5770

AMD is back to serious gaming business with the Radeon HD 5830 after messing around with a few less exciting budget-oriented solutions. While it is very important to provide gamers with a cost effective option, we feel that the Radeon HD 5570 and...

The name of this card is misleading. It's in fact closer to the mid than high-end. Nevertheless though its performance levels mean it is best reserved for mid-resolution screens, it does retain certain advantages: DX11 compatibility and reduced heat...

The case against the Radeon HD 5830 was made quite clearly in the value scatter plot on the preceding page. This graphics card's price-performance proposition just isn't terribly attractive. That matters a lot in a product like this one, which...

The HD5830 certainly looks like a interesting card on paper. It bridges the gap between the HD5770 and the HD5850 nicely with a expected retail price around $250/€230. The main question right now is when cards will be arriving in the stores as the...
