$260.00
Released April, 2010
The Pros:Remains relatively cool (32-33C) even under maximum load. High framerates at 1920x1080 full HD. Essentially silen when idling, only moderate volume increases when working hard.
The Cons:Longer than average for a video card, and power connection is at the end - may be an issue in tighter cases. Driver updates prone to increasing BSOD or video problems.

While playing HD video, the card goes into an idle mode to keep the heat down so that the fan won't make as much noise.
The processor is a 800MHz ATI Radeon HD 5830, supported by 1G of DDR5 memory. The memory runs at 4GHz and uses a 256-bit interface with the processor. It uses a PCI-E 2.1 slot and outputs to VGA, DVI-I, HDMI and DisplayPort. The maximum resolution supported is 2560x1600, although on a standard VGA monitor it can only do 2048x1536. A CrossFire cable is included for those who wish to buy a second card and link them together for improved performance.
