two would be like calling in a nuclear strike for a group of guys hiding in a foxhole

well worth the nuke! show them rats theres no where to hide

+1 to crazy_pyro and lemonadesoda.

To add a point, my case doesn't fit a 4870 well (but I'm making it work for now), I wouldn't mind a couple small 4830's or possibly the 4750's when they come out.

Also, my e-peen is larger than my sensibility concerning this stuff... somehow I'd feel better about having 3 x 4750's vs a 4890. Cuz I'd have 3

@FreedomEclipse: well now what are you going to do when they roll up with a whole battalion of tanks, you've depleated your nuclear arsenal

@Jizzler: That's a good point about the 4830 having a short PCB. I think it might even be shorter than my 8600gts's pcb. It is good to be able to fit a crysis-capable rig in a grandma-capable tower :roll:

oh yeah I forgot to mention... I am happy to see SOMEONE has taken the initiave and has started moving towards energy efficency with graphics cards. I believe that no computer should have to have a power supply greater than 500w (400-450w max load) unless it's something like a ridiculous fileserver with 10TB of storage space or some crunching workhouse with dual quad-core processors and 64gb RAM

The brits are calling in air strikes when they find a bunch of Afghan militants now, you just get them pinned down and then drop some big ol' bombs on them, if they're more spread out you go for the nuke!

i dont think it would be safe use that thing on a pci-e 1 gen slot :mad:

W1zzard · Apr 16, 2009

Surely the 75w cap on PCI-E 1.1 would choke it?

why do people think that? use google to a) find out how much power an x16 1.1 slot can provide b) find out what new features 2.0 brings

PCI-E x16 1.1: 75w, 4000MB/s bandwidth
PCI-E x16 2.0: 150w, 8000MB/s bandwidth
^^according to wikipedia

What most people are worried about is that running this 4830 in a 1.1 slot (75w) would be pushing the envelope. I wouldn't do it.

Hm... Nice card.

both 1.1 and 2.0 provide 75w max to the card. there is no difference

crtecha · Apr 16, 2009

Thats awesome it looks really stubby :roll:

I like that they are making the higher grade cards like this too.

Disparia · Apr 16, 2009

O I C.

The power spec has also been increased. A new version of the power supply connector that is used for graphics cards that need more power than the slot can deliver (sometimes called a PEG connector, for PCI-Express Graphics) has been introduced, changing from 6 pins to 8. A single x16 card may now draw up to 300 W of power (75 W from the slot itself, 150 W from an 8-pin PEG connector, 75 W from a second PEG connector), up from 225 W (75 W from the slot, 75 W each from 2 6-pin PEG connectors) or originally 150 W (75 W from the slot, 75 W from a 6-pin PEG connector).

I think a lot of us have been going off when the early 2.0 boards were coming out, and it was reported by several news sites that it was 150w through the slot.

SirMango · Apr 16, 2009

If performance is on par to the older reference design, that would be fantastic

Cheeseball · Apr 17, 2009

Heh, finally W1zzard cleared this up. I was wondering why people keep saying that PCI-E 2.0 pulls out 150W from the slot. PCI-E (regardless if 1.1a or 2.0) only gets 75W from the motherboard.

i dont think many people buy a 4830 and cf it

I did

O course, I got both cards for ~150$, so it was worth it. Kinda wish they would make this a Low-Profile card to compete with the LP 9600GT... AMD has nothing in that area...

Meizuman · Apr 19, 2009

That looks so cute! ^^

Hayder_Master · Apr 20, 2009

it cool , but it is still unknown company , and can the mobo handle power of 4 of them , quad crossfire

AsRock · Apr 20, 2009

Can some one explain why you would need one in the 1st place ?. Unless programs like powerDVD and such take that much run these days. And if thats why not just go out and buy a DVD player and not even have the need to run a whole computer.. Well unless your monitor is better than your TV that is i guess it's understandable then.

I use a 7300GS with a AMD 3800 x2 and handles all internet based films and such without issue even HD.
