AMD Readies Radeon HD 5830, Seals Upper-Mainstream Gaps (tpu+nordic)

[silvias]

I think there will be decent retail availability at or close to launch. The board partners know this could be a huge card for them depending on price / performance but I am not sure if there will be some delay due to the fact they have to design and certify their own cards.

Thanks for the info.

You can always mod it! And thats free, if it dies you can just buy the card you thought you might anyway. Look at my sig, the card does 830 core and 1140 (2280) ram benching...it's near the 5770's stock performance.

It's not too complicated either...there are guides everywhere.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to take a look at those guides. I just hope they don't involve a soldering iron or it would be like inviting a disaster to happen, considering my soldering skills.

That's a pretty nice overclock you have there, by the way. I don't think I'll be getting anywhere near that, but I could give it a try.
