The HD 4770, which was retired with the arrival of the HD 4830, has once again become the center of attention thanks to the "conscious buck".

Expreview has acquired several Radeon HD 4830 graphics cards, which is a weird mode to be expected 640 instead of 800 has a shading unit.

The cooling was removed from all the PowerColor, Sapphire, and Onda products, and thus the bare graphics core could be subjected to a more intense examination, when it was noticed that the number line on the RV770LE in the case of the 800 SP version had extra characters ( “D1”) was added.

In terms of performance, the 800 SP Radeon HD 4830 falls between the 640 SP HD 4830 and the HD 4850, which is also supported by the Expreview test. The following applications have helped:

  • synthetic: 3DMark Vantage
  • opengl: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
  • DirectX 9:
    • Left 4 Dead
    • 4 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
    • Unreal Tournament II
    • Grand Theft Auto IV
  • DirectX 10:
    • Crysis Warhead
    • Far Cry 2
    • World in Conflict
    • Tom Clancy's HAWX

The HD 4830 has also been tested against the GeForce 9800 GT and GeForce GTS 250, but before we morph into buying such a video card, it doesn’t hurt to know that it most likely only hit the Chinese market from the enhanced shaded versions.
