XFX HD 4830....Overclocking, Temps and 3DMark, etc
___________________________________________
Highest Results 802/1074: 59 degrees under load 12,033 in 3DMark06 6,614 in 3DMark Vantage ___________________________________________ XFX HD 4830 I'm going to jot down my initial thoughts and bit about its overclocking ability. Setup 1
Setup 2
Setup 3
Aesthetics The card looks great! Typical XFX quality all around. It has a flat black finish, a black PCB and a black PCI bracket. Did I mention that its black? ![]() Cooling First off, with the stock fan profile the 4830 idles around 38 degrees and loads in the low 50s! That is a huge difference than what I used to see with my reference 4850 and 4870. Fan noise is pretty quiet as well but picks up a little as the card is loaded (obviously). Overclocking The factory clocks are set at 575/900. So far I have it 3DMark06 stable at 802/1074. Any memory frequency above 1078MHz causes instant artifacting on the desktop. In addition, overclocking the core and memory haven't raised the load temps above a couple of degrees. 3DMark06 Setup 1 575/900: 8,883
675/1050: 9,459 700/1050: 9,445 721/1050 (CPU @ 2.8GHz): 10,056
3DMark06 Setup 2 575/900: 9,878
749/1078: 11,253
802/1074: 11,561
3DMark06 Setup 3 802/1074: 12,033
3DMark Vantage Setup 1 802/1074: P5993
3DMark Vantage Setup 2 802/1074: P6469
3DMark Vantage Setup 3 802/1074: P6614

Yes, they do. I've had a couple and both have been great. The 'higher' end 4830s can generally hit 700MHz+ on the core.

What's your cpu scores for those runs? I'm contemplating getting the Sapphire 4830.

Very impressive, the 4830 is a beastly little card. I probably would of saved a few bucks and gone for the 4830's in crossfire rather then my 4850's if they had been out. No regrets though.
Are you going to do some vmods on it? |

I might volt mod. Depends on how they crossfire together.
*Updated maximum stable clocks to 700/1050*

Congrats! So, I am just guessing here, that this card would have no issues with most gaming titles at 1680x1050 at max then?

I think it would be safe to say that. Not all of the 4830s OC this well. Although I've personally had a MSI 4830 OC edition which was a monster clocker too.

What did you use to OC your 4830? I get nearly the same 3DMark Vantage score but with a 3.2Ghz cpu and 750MHz gpu. Is it game stable?
