XFX RADEON HD 5830 1GB GDDR5 Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2010-05-31

The RADEON HD 5830 comes to fill in the gap between the best-buy 5770 and the 5850; it features dual 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors and has about the same performance as the 4890 in DirectX 10 games. The XFX model comes with a custom made heatsink that sports 5 heatpipes, meant to cool the card better than the stock solution.
