The only one available

Powercolor has announced its overclocked Radeon HD 5830 card that will be a part of Powercolor's PCS+ series. The card uses the same coolerwe've seen on Powercolor's HD 5850 PCS and features a slight factory overclock.

The card still has 1120 Stream processors, 256-bit memory interface and runs at 825MHz for the GPU and 4200MHz for 1GB of GDDR5 memory. Just for comparison, the reference card works at 800MHz for the GPU and 4000MHz for the same amount of memory.

Powercolor decided to go for the same dual-slot cooler that we've seen on its HD 5850 PCS and it features four copper heatpipes and a 92mm fan. The backplate features a single DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

It looks like most of the HD 5830 GPUs went to either Sapphire or Powercolor as these are the only two brands that are listed on both Newegg.com as well as on our price search engine. It also appears that this time, Powercolor was a bit faster and is currently the only available card in Europe.

Unfortunately, Europe has pulled a shorter straw again because the card is selling for US $239.99 after mail in rebate, whereas the same card in Europe sells for around €250.

You can find it here.
