The Youngest of the Cypress Family
Maybe some people feel too heavy to buy a graphics card which is worth U.S. $ 300 or more (such as the Radeon HD 5850 / 5870), Conversely, a cheaper graphics card (HD 5770 down) may not be satisfactory because their performance more or less the same as the previous generation . Well, do not be confused again, ATI has issued a product to fill this gap, namely HD 5830. One of the producers that use the GPU chip is a Powercolor HD 5830 PCS + 1GB GDDR5.
Frill “PCS +” means the series this Powercolor graphics cards are already using non-reference cooler and also has been set to use the clock / memory that is higher than the standard (pre-overclocked). Was armed with a graphics card cooler which looks quite handsome with heatpipe equipped four middle. Unfortunately, Powercolor gives only mediocre sales package.
Although it is not too high, which is applied Powercolor overclock on this graphics card (825/4200) still managed to provide about 5% performance improvement compared to the standard series at the time of the benchmark. If you are still less satisfied with their performance, there are still some more room to overclock the graphics card cooler from Powercolor this because it was reliable enough to reduce heat generated. In addition, like the Radeon HD 5800 series, it also comes with a Display Port connector to apply Eyefinity ATI.
