PowerColor Slips in Pair of Cost-Effective Radeon HD 5800 Series Graphics Cards
Without making too much noise, PowerColor introduced a pair of new cost-effective ATI Radeon HD 5800 series graphics cards, the PowerColor HD 5830 V2 (AX5830 1GBD5-DHV2), and PowerColor HD 5850 (AX5850 1GBD5- DH). The two are based on a new common PCB design that's shorter (10.4"), and uses a cost-effective component layout. The cooler also keeps up, it is more compact, and has a simpler heat pipe-based design. Both cards stick to the AMD reference clock speeds: 725/1000 MHz (core/memory) for the HD 5850, and 800/1000 MHz (core/memory) for the HD 5830. As far as connectivity goes, the HD 5830 V2 lacks one DVI. While PowerColor did not give out pricing details of these two cards, one can expect these to be priced on the lower side, with much more flexibility for the company to lower the prices further down in the future.

That green on the 5830 though :wtf:
Lots to comment on already just seeing the cards in the those tiny crappy pics, a full review would be fantastic!
I'm kind of curious if the bios could be flashed for a higher voltage, if it is possible i'm sure powercolor would proberley not be to happy with you flashing a review sample so i geuss that will be left to an overclocker on a budget that would hopefully post their results somewhere on the net.
