US $239 card

In addition to Redwood, AMD is cooking up yet another card that should show its face by the end of this month, probably on January 25th, the HD 5830. According to our info, the card should have a suggested retail price of US $239.

Following its well known naming scheme from the HD 4000 series, the HD 5830 should be quite similar to the HD 5850 as it might be even based on the same PCB and even use the same cooler. The exact clocks or number of shader processors are still blurry, but considering the fact that it will have a lot in common with the HD 5850 you can expect it to use GDDR5 memory.

The card should fill the gap between the HD 5850 and the HD 5770, while performance should be similar to the HD 4890, but this time with DirectX 11 support.
