I doubt the HD5830 will dethrone the HD4890 -- why would ATI cannibalize the 48xx series flagship...?

because they hav sold almost all the remaining HD4800 chips that was left and so availability is going down down down.

HD5830 makes perfect sense although I dun approve AMD disabling an originally HD5870 GPU into such a lowly GPU with 2 SIMD engines shut down..

why not sell the HD5870 and HD5850 at lower prices instead? :P

Fella, I have both 24" i.e. 1920X1080 and 22" 1680X1050.

Tried Crossfire and single both.

Crossfire on dual core 10FPS higher than Single card on Quad.

However for descent gaming all you need is 30FPS-35FPS.

Which was also achieved on Dual Core PC with 4870.

But when used on Quad I could do Antialiasing, Very High/Ultra Settings, etc which was completely possible on Dual Core (i.e. E8200/8400), hence Quad Core (i.e. Q9450) was a real achiever here.

Try Benchmarking new games on Quad, they will perform much better don't try on old lame games which are not optimized for Quad Core and will only utilize 2Cores.

Adios!

I play on 24" inches. With everything maxed out --- and it runs just fine. I benched RE5 and got around 115. Warhead tool gives 38 at Enthusiast. Would the extra 2 cores really help for FSAA / AF..?

Which games you ran, which enabled the 4 cores during game play..?
 
due to some circumstances I had to give money to my brother for his office system so I have to wait for abt a month and then upgrade my processor to Athlon II X3 425 and then may be wait a bit for fermi to show some benchies

Yantra Online sells it for this price in another forum :( Hope our dealers gets some stocks soon for competitive prices :D
 
I m with fshaharyar , u can get the 5670 for Rs.5500 512mb and when fermi comes out may be after June then can think for Lower prices Ati 5830/5770 or may be 6000 series from Ati...
 
Hi,
Isnt Nvidia launching the top off the line single GPU Fermi in March and the lower versions will take around 2~3 months after March to even Launch??( assuming ATI like launching)
So I dont think he really has an option for Fermi unless he is waiting till June/July, n Yes that system will be a bottleneck, the very reason I did not go with 3650 AGP version GPU.:)
 
I have a question. Can he get it @ 2 am and does he need money to get the card? Thanks man. :)

No point wasting money on 1 5xxx series. Upgrade your system for now. Wait for Fermi to show up and then go and get it!!!
