According to what we've managed to find out, ATI's HD 4830 is as good as dead. ATI apparently already sent out the last batch of these chips and some partners didn't even want it, as once the RV740 comes into play we are pretty sure that this card will go the way of the dodo.
The reason is pretty obvious as the RV740's price will be very close to that of the HD 4830. If the info about two versions of the RV740 is correct, HD 4830 is definitely a goner, as the RV740 with GDDR3 memory might even be cheaper than the original rumored US $99 price. The RV740 with GDDR5 memory is also close to the HD 4850 perfomance, at least according to that engineering sample that Guru3D had a chance to test.
