XFX HD 4830

I'm going to jot down my initial thoughts and bit about its overclocking ability.


Setup 1

  • Athlon X2 5050e 2.6GHz 1MB L2
  • 2x1GB Super Talent DDR2 800
  • Asus M3A78-EM 780G/SB700
  • XFX HD 4830 512MB
  • Vista 32-bit


Setup 2

  • Athlon X2 7750 BE @ 3.0GHz
  • 2x1GB OCZ DDR2 1066
  • Asus M3A78-EM 780G/SB700
  • XFX HD 4830 512MB
  • Vista 32-bit


Setup 3
  • Athlon X2 7750 BE @ 3.3GHz
  • 2x1GB OCZ 1066 DDR2
  • DFI LP Jr 790GX-M2RS
  • XFX HD 4830 512MB
  • Windows 7 Beta 32-bit


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.

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

Hehe...thanks! I am used to 5k+ CPU scores.

Yeah see in SM2 and SM3 scores you are very very close to my e5200 4Ghz run.

EDIT:

Edited out broken link .....

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.

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.

HAHAHA...the display settings in 3DMark06 are at their defaults....1280x1024, no AA, etc

802/1074 is as high as she goes.

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?
