ATI Radeon HD 5830 Video Card Specs & Pictures Leak Out
It looks like the Chinese website it168.com has leaked out AMD’s internal marketing slides that are under NDA for the ATI Radeon HD 5830 graphics card that comes out later this week according to rumors. Here is your chance to see all the specifications and pictures of the video card before it even launches! We have all the pictures from the leaked source up in our forums so follow the link below to find out all about the specifications and to see pictures of retail Radeon HD 5830 graphics cards. This is a major leak, so enjoy it as these don’t come by too often like this!
As you can see the Radeon HD 5830 fits between the Radeon HD 5770 and HD 5850 graphics cards. It has the same number of transistors as the Radeon HD 5850, but fewer stream processors and have the ROPs. With just 1120 stream processors the Radeon HD 5830 has 22% less stream processors than the Radeon HD 5850, but tries to make up for it with a higher clock frequency on the stream processors that it does have. By running at 800MHz rather than 725MHz it gets a 10.3% performance boost on the remaining stream processors. This means that that the overall compute performance of the Radeon HD 5830 is an impressive 1.79 TFLOPs, which is 14.4% behind the Radeon HD 5850. Not bad looking! The render backend though gets hammered since it has only 16 ROPs rather than the 32 found on the Radeon HD 5850 and Radeon HD 5870. It also has 56 texture units, which is 22% fewer than on the Radeon HD 5850. The end results here is that the pixel fillrate and z/stencil performance is nearly half that of the Radeon HD 5850…. Very interesting.
