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

Peformance between a 4830 and a 4850 is nearly identical. The 4830 will just run a lot cooler. I will definitely go Crossfire when I get my X58 board. 2 x 4830s = $250!

hmmm, i'm tempted ![]() reckno you can crossfire 4850 and 4830 then? it should give the same performance as 4850 crossfire if what you said is true. 4870 + 4850 crossfire means the 4870 runs at the speed of the 4850 yeah...so if a 4830 is pretty much = to 4850, it should be nothing to worry about!

What about tri-fire with the new hydra chip (fingers crossed its coming soon). That will outperform the current HD4870X2 no doubt ![]()

I had a 4870/4850 setup for awhile. That particular 4850 was a terrible overclocker which restricted my 4870 to 700MHz.

i can't get my model 4850 anymore the shops here in Melbourne don't stock them anymore. and they' don't come with Crosfire connecter/cable so that's annoying. i might pick up a 4830 then, if you can Xfire with them

Ive been hearing about the 4850's as bad overclockers but i have to say mine is amazing! I managed to hit 800 on the core and 1200 on the memory (2400 effective) which was stable ingame for around a while but then would freeze (not due to heat, temps are amazing), with slightly more voltage it would be stable... I leave it to run at 730/1100(2200 effective) for everyday use/gaming, i may vMod one day to reach 800+ core speeds and higher memory speeds... Maybe im just lucky and had a good OC'er?

I meant the 4850's ![]() Btw i see you have got a great overclock on that 4830, i can reach 800+ core speeds with some extra voltage, did you manage to hit that stable with stock voltage? I can hit 800 core but its only stable for around half hour of gaming then it freezes, with extra voltage i could make it stable... I may get one of these 4830's :P

I checked in ORB the results are very close to the 4850, if it stays the same in RL this a real killer buy. Runs off to check 4830 prices. Congrats man that was well done, 3rd place in ORB...
