All of our tests were performed with our ambient room temperature at a comfortable 23c. To determine our idle temperatures we let the machine idle in Windows for 30 minutes, then we fire up Crysis Warhead to heat up our GPU to generate the heat that determines our results. After gaming testing is done we also run the card through a Furmark torture test just to see how well the cooler works under conditions that it would not normally be subjected to. The fan on our 5830 will be left on auto to help determine the true ability of the cooler.
The cooling on the HIS 5830 works very well. Our idle temperature was 35c and we hit 60c playing Crysis Warhead. With the fan on the 5830 set to Auto our temperatures never passed 68c during our Furmark testing and the fan speed never passed 61% which is very good considering the stress Furmark places on a graphics card.
They aint bad cards but the 460 has just killed them, as stated on the conclusion. still ive noticed some 5830s selling cheap locally so they might be picked up cheap in the next month, especially with the new range hitting shortly.
My brother has a 5830 and it was a good buy then, it doesnt seem such a good buy now. then again with the 460 pricing, neither really does the 5850.
Saw this in a local store for $50 off recently. might be worth it at that price. full price ? no thanks.
Interesting. I heard one of the v turbo coolers and they are pretty loud. not a great design from HIS sadly. card isnt bad. overpriced.
The 460 has killed the place for the 5830 IMHO but all and all it’s not a bad card
Wow this card looks huge and bulky compared to my gtx 460 which is barely longer than the pcie connector……just looks old.
Can somebody upload the vga bios for this model?
