My XFX Radeon HD 4830

My XFX Radeon HD 4830 finally arrived this morning after 2 weeks of waiting due to restock delay. Gotta hate that, but looking at the pricetag (RM440) compared to the HIS 4830 IceQ4 which sells at RM495. This new XFX baby is quite the Hot Bargain since it’s capabilities are not to be trifled with. Hence, given the nickname 9800GT Killer. How many of you believe it is another matter though.

This will most probably be my last GPU upgrade, since i have finally reached the targeted High-End of a single card. Unfortunately, going for a Crossfire is a NO for me. Given the fact that current multiple GPU accelarations still doesn’t truly give a double performance boost. Plus, there’s only a number of games on the market that currently supports multiple accelaration since SLi/CF is pretty much a new thing for the rest of the world. On the other hand, Nvidia’s pricepoint have been ticking me off since the day i learn about “3D Cards”. Be it good or not, There’s no way for me to have a SLi setup in my system since a single card from them would cost a month’s salary. I’d rather save some money for Gaming Consoles ya know. But that’s another story to frustrate myself another time.

Have a look at the video below to see what it’s all about.
