The Radeon HD 5830 is also coming

The novelty will come between the Radeon HD 5770 and the HD 5850, and if it is priced right, it can even become a hit product.

AMD has regained the title of fastest video card with the currently most powerful DirectX 11 compatible Radeon HD 5800 series, but the HD 5700 series is also conquering the mid-range, while the soon-to-be-launched HD 5670 wants to put it in the sub-$ 100 range. business card. In addition, there are indications that AMD feels that there is still market area to be covered in the upper category, as it plans to introduce a Radeon model with model number 5830, which it positions between the HD 5770 and HD 5850.  

The Radeon HD 5770 needs to be in the mid-range $ 200 range, while the HD 5850 is much more expensive in the $ 300 segment. Of course, there are the older HD 4870 and HD 4890 models out there, but they will no longer be available for a long time and will not offer DirectX 11 support. Sure, there are GeForce GTXs out there, too, but they’re even more outdated in terms of technology. The Radeon HD 5830 can therefore be justified at a reasonable price, which is expected to be faster than the HD 4890 in older applications. The new model will be unveiled to the general public on January 25th. No further details on price or specifications are known at this time, but we’re curious to see what AMD is welding in the workshop this time around.
