AMD Readies Radeon HD 5830, Seals Upper-Mainstream Gaps
Having reclaimed the positions of having the fastest
graphics cards and the most powerful GPU with the DirectX 11 compliant
Radeonhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif HD 5000 series, AMD is looking to make DirectX 11 accessible to all market segments. Later this month, AMD is expected to announce its lower-mainstream Radeon HD 5600 products, but with it, also an addition to the Radeon HD 5800 series: the Radeon HD 5830. This product is expected to fill the gap between Radeon HD 5770 and Radeon HD 5850.
The Radeon HD 5770 is priced in the sub-$200 range, while the HD 5850 at around $300. This gap is currently held by the previous-generation Radeon HD 4890, which faces competition from some
NVIDIA GeForcehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif GTX 200 series products. It is expected that the Radeon HD 5830 will be about as powerful as a Radeon HD 4890 in current
applications, while being priced slightly lower, and a little more competitive owing to its feature set and future-proofing. The new product could be announced on the 25th Jan. No additional details or specifications are known at this point.
