INTRODUCTION
AMD has been busy the last 6 months releasing a lot of DirectX11 cards for every market segment from the cheap and slow HD5450 up to the expensive and fast HD5970. If we look at the range of products released we notice that there is a big gap between the 170$ HD5770 and the 300$ HD5850. While we are still waiting for NVIDIA to release their first two Fermi products at the end of March AMD is taking the opportunity to release yet another card to fill that gap: the HD5830. As the name implies this is a card that sits between the HD5770 and the HD5850 both when it comes to performance and price.
