ATI Radeon HD 5830 Video Card ReviewEver since the introduction of the ATI Radeon HD5770, PC gamers and enthusiasts have been looking at the wide gap between the HD5770 and the HD5850 and knew that it would only be a matter of time before ATI plugged the hole in their product line. ATI is taking a slightly different approach with the Radeon HD5830 video card; selling only the ASIC chips to their Add-In-Board (AIB) partners. In this article Benchmark Reviews is going to demonstrate a prototype ATI Radeon HD 5830 video card, and our benchmark tests are going to put an end to the rumors about the specifications and graphical performance of this highly anticipated GPU.
The Radeon HD 5830 is not a 'reference card' as we know it, because that concept is not being used this time around. We have to wait for the AIB partners to start shipping their own board designs to see what will actually be available in the marketplace. No more slapping a label on a complete card that you buy from ATI's captive supplier... For now though, we have a quick and easy way to assess the performance of the ATI Radeon HD5830 chip, lovingly wrapped in an HD5870 package. Yes, a 5870 package; I'll explain later why this is necessary. Please follow along as we give you a sneak preview of things to come from some of ATI's AIB Partners. About the company: ATI

Oh gawd, the fanboyism from reviewers (excusable to a degree because of card tester givie me one for free review reverso rate pressure) let alone the pock marked apocalypse of the raging reds is almost unbearable.

THIS CARD IS COMPETING WITH THE GTX260, AND SINCE IT CANNOT BE OVERCLOCKED WORTH A DING DANG, THE GTX260 BEATS IT PERIOD!

Ok, now back to the red ragers fanboy fantasies that crank the red rooster cards a full card tier or two above where they actually are when comparing them to Nvidia. Carry on red raging ravers.
So tell me , whos being a fan boy? , you or the truthfull reviewer
YOU are the insane fanboy fool, not I.
The card competes with the 260 as I said, P E R I O D.
It doesn't compete with the 285, P E R I O D.
Six fps, or six percent, at 60-70 frames per sec, means very little without minimum numbers, and the GTX260 wins in that, especially with the 8x and 16x the reviewer kindly included.
( almost every other review site will only include 0xAA and 4xAA since the ati cards take a HUGE hit compared to the nvidia cards when AA is cranked up - same with Tesselation now).
So, I am still absolutely correct, PERIOD.
I'm sure the blathering, raging red rooster fanboy in you allowed you to only look at one game review, drool into your tinfoil hat cup (after it fell off your gyrating epileptic gourd), and screech "my 9500gt!" - oh man - WHAT A FREAKIN FAN BOY! HAHAHAHAH YER 9500GT ! HAHAHAHAHA
After several complaints of your bahavior, you are banned.
