Ati 4830

Helios1234 · 27 Sep 2008 at 00:54

Seems that AMD are looking at more ways to deal with the green camp. The new HD4830 is gonna be released next month on the 21st to compete with the 9800gt.

Looks pretty good I must say and with 640sp, it should still perform well especially with AA as are the rest of the HD4xxx series.

Looks pretty darn decent if you ask me :eek:

if thats the US price $150 then its going to come in at approx £96 here inc vat for that amount id rather get the 4850
Unless it comes in sub £70 inc vat then it might be worth a second look

Oops - That's what happens when you quickly read posts. Surely there has to be a reason to buy one of these cards so I can't see them being so close to the pricing of the 4850.

If it comes in at under £70 inc VAT then yes its worth looking at as it will be approx £60 cheaper than the 4850 when including vat
Point noted just noticed the <$150 but how much under that is it going to be

Its the specs as what was rumoured to be the HD4850 before they came out with the 800 steam units bombshell.

Helios1234 · 27 Sep 2008 at 10:57

Well it's aimed at the 9800gt so it's probably gonne be priced at £80 or thereabouts or even less by the time it comes out. That's what I imagine anyway.

love the ATI charts

Looks good to me, although it will have to be priced properly.

Hmm these charts are pritty well done by amd.

How many people that game at 1900x1200 would buy a very mainstream card.

I would be willing to put money that the 9800gt is better at lower rez(which this card is aimed at)
and better with less AA aswell.

The 9800GT is the same performance as an 8800GT. Which isn't THAT much faster than a 3870. This card has twice the stream procs of a 3870. Now you tell me the 9800GT is faster.

It's basically a cut-down 4850, and we all know how much that outperforms the x800GT. This only has 160 less SPs.

If those results are to be believed it would make the best bang for buck crossfire setup ever.

Awesome arent they, make it look so impressive when most of the time it shows 1.1-1.2 increase ie 10-20% @ huge resolutions, so we are likley talking very small amounts fps wise.

That said could be a killer card if the price is right.

Monkeynut · 27 Sep 2008 at 15:30

Might grab one of these in January is something better isn't out by then.

LoadsaMoney · 27 Sep 2008 at 17:21

If pricings right, then 2 of these in Xfire would be a bargain, be faster than the 9800 GX2.

jrodga2k5 · 27 Sep 2008 at 17:30

this could tempt me to punt my 9800gtx and get two of these instead should the price of course be of a decent level! its great to see AMD/ATi start to take it to NV again!

Lightnix · 27 Sep 2008 at 17:38

Hm, looks pretty good if it's the same price as the majority of 8800 GT (so what? £75-80?) cards floating about. Now all they need to do is introduce that RV770 'LE' (what is apparently a RV770 with a 192-bit bus and only 480 shaders) out in the open to compete with the 9600 GSO/8800 GS and 9600 GT.

Happy · 27 Sep 2008 at 17:40

It looks good, hopefully it'll run a lot cooler than the 4850

psychas · 27 Sep 2008 at 18:09

looks good hope it is around 70£ mark
