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
  • 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.

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!

Thats not the only difference...

The 4850 has 800 unified shaders, the 4830 has 640 unified shaders

Other than that they are the same

Thanks for pointing that out.

In my experience those extra 160 shaders are only noticeable when using hi-res, hi AA/AF settings.

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

Exactly!

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?

Just to clarify, did you mean 4830s or 4850s?

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...

This is all on stock volts.

What am I in 3rd place in?

Yep, I got 10,197. A decent dual-core would really unleash this beast
