5830 any good ?

[86JR]

I need a card thats better than a 260gtx but dont want to pay much more than £200.

Seen this card for around this price and wondering if its any good ?

or should i just buy a 5850 ?

Need one for BC2 and then BF3.

260 will be kept as a spare.

no its to overpriced rather get 5850 if u can find good price on them

The 5830 appears to be a little better than the 5770, but the price point is far too close to the 5850 to be worth even considering, go for the 5850, you won't be dissapointed

I can't access that thread anymore, too much tumbleweed and cob webs over the entrance!

I have a source for cheaper cards can probably find one for £150.

Then it becomes an excellent choice!

'Probably' or 'can'?

Good choice, maybe a little over priced though

 

[Stonedofmoo]

Maybe a little?
About £50 overpriced tbh.

Dude, wait and save the little extra and go for a 5850 the 5830 is overpriced for what it is, you'll be very glad in getting a 5850. I was looking at the 5770 (few months ago) till I checked benchmarks and saved the extra for a 5850.

I bought an 8800GTX for £130 when it came out! Same guy reckons he has some. But he only sources around 5.

Im going to see if he can get a 5870, but i really wanted the sapphire vapor x version.

cannot decide between 5770 or 5850 is the extra £100 justifiable I'm coming from 8800GT

5850 all the way

The only way that happened was if it fell off the back of a lorry.
