Konklusion
Club3D HD 5830 OC er for dem der gerne vil have et kort der yder godt i spil men ikke vil betale alverden for det. Problemet ligger i, at på grund af den manglende konkurrence fra NVidia og stor efterspørgsel, er priserne på DirectX 11 grafikkort steget siden lanceringen tilbage i November sidste år. Kortet yder ikke godt nok i forhold til prisen, og for 200kr. mere kan man få et 5850 med 32 ROPs, bedre ydelse og lavere strømforbrug.
Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Vi kommer ikke uden om det, selvom 5xxx serien har været ude et halvt års tid, byder Club 3D 5830 OC på den nyeste teknologi såsom Eyefinity og DirectX 11 jeg vælger dog at droppe karakteren til et 4 tal, da NVidia i skrivende stund kommer på banen med DX 11 kompatible kort.
Bundle/Tilbehør - 1
Der kommer ikke meget ekstra med dette kort, der er kun det obligatoriske DVI->VGA adapter og en CrossFire bridge.
Design/Layout - 4
Kortet er lækkert at se på, den store blæser og de 4 heatpipes sætter forventninger op, og giver et indtryk at høj ydelse. Det ville dog have været en ide at placere de 2 sekspins strøm tilslutningerne i siden af kortet frem for i bunden da dette kun gør det i forvejen lange kort længere.
Software/BIOS - 3
ATI Catalyst Control Center fungerer fint og har mange gode features, brugerinterfacet kan godt virke lidt uoverskueligt i starten, men man finder hurtigt ud af hvor de forskellige ting ligger. Jeg har dog endnu ikke fundet noget sted hvor man kan indstille billedstørrelsen på fjernsynet, og jeg ved at det er muligt i Nvidias drivere. Dette er en god funktion og den mangler desværre.
Ydelse - 3
Club3D HD5830 OC redder sig et 3 tal i denne kategori, udelukkende på grund af det gode overclockings-potentiale, det yder simpelthen ikke godt nok. Det formår end ikke at give det gamle, noget billigere 4890, baghjul.
Pris - 2
Jeg fandt Club3D HD5830 OC på nettet til 1768kr. hvilket jeg mener er for dyrt, 4890 koster 350kr. mindre og klare sig næsten ligeså godt og for 200kr. merpris får du et 5850.

hereUK summary
Club3D HD 5830 OC is for those who want a card offering a good gaming performance, but aren't ready to pay the world for it. The main problem lies in the lack of competition from NVidia and of a high demand on the cards. The price on DirectX 11 graphics cards have increased since its launch back in November last year. The graphic card does not provide quite enough "bang for the buck" - for 200,- dkr. more you can get an HD 5850 with 32 POPS, slightly better performance and lower power consumption...
Innovation/Technology - 4
We can not escape it, even if 58xx series has been out for half a year´s time, offer the Club3D HD 5830 OC the latest technology such as Eyefinity and Directx 11. I choose to give the high score of 4, since nVIDIA right now has released their answer to AMDs DX 11 cards.
Bundle/Accessories - 1
There´s only the mandatory DVI> VGA adapter and a CrossFire bridge bundled with this card.
Design/Layout - 4
The card is nice to look at, the big fan and the 4 heatpipes bring the expectations up, and give an impression off high performance.However, it would have been an idea to place the two sixpins plugs into the side of the card, instead of the bottom, as this only make the already long card further.
Software/BIOS - 3
ATI Catalyst Control Center works fine and has many good features. The user interface might seem a bit confusing at first, but you quickly locates the different settings. I have not yet found any place where you can set the image size on the TV, I know that it is possible in the Nvidia drivers, it is a good feature and sorry to say missing.
Performance - 3
Club3D HD5830 OC saves itself a 3 in this category, only because of the good overclocking potential. It simply doesn't perform good enough. It fails to give the old, somewhat cheaper 4890, any competition.
Price - 2
I found Club3D HD5830 OC online for 1768kr. which in my opinion is too expensive, the 4890 is 350kr. less and perform nearly as well and for 200kr. extra you will get a 5850.
