It's time to see what the overclocking potential of our review sample is like. The card we are testing comes overclocked directly from the factory. The reference clock speeds for the 5830 are 800/1000 and our card comes clocked at 840/1100. With some additional help from MSI Afterburner we managed to get as high as 900/1200 while maintaining stability.
Our increase in clock speeds gained us an additional 2 FPS on our minimum and average results and 4 more on our maximum FPS. While not a massive increase any free performance is always welcome.
Vantage also show gains across the board gaining an extra 755 points in our overall GPU score which is not bad at all.
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?
