So, my budget xfx 5830 arrived (£120@scan), as I haven't got time to do some proper testing, I thought I post my first impressions, sorry for the rubbish pics, let's blame apple for them:
package and bundle:
usual XFX stuff, 2 pcie power connectors, "do not disturb I'm gaming", cd and papers, dvi-dsub converter, crossfire bridge...
yeah, the card is hugethough it fits well in my 300...
I've fired up AvP, which has been struggling on my HD4850 1GB especially in the forest and during the boss fight with the predator, so I had to lower the res and settings...Now I've started it in dx11 path, and cranked up everything to max (1080p) and yeah...it couldn't be smoother...
as for the noise, this is the quietest stock card what I had...during idle it keeps the fan <20% and under load I could not hear it either...mind you I have very quiet fans (all of them are less than 10dba), so it would definitely annoy me if it would be audible
as for now I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this card, however I'll only be able to test it properly next saturday. I'll post some oc results and temps too.
If you would like to see how this performs in any particular game then post it here and I'll give it a go![]()
