1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:09,320
okay so today I'm going to be having a quick look at the allnew ATI radon HD

2
00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:14,559
5830 this is a part that is positioned sort of between the

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:17,600
5770 and the 5850 but it is more like a

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:20,080
5800 series than a 5700 series hence the

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,880
name so this is from powercolor it is a PCS plus which is I believe their

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,560
branding for overclocked video cards it has 1 GB of gddr5 memory something about

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,920
unleashing the gaming power and it also has DVI HDMI and DisplayPort like all

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:41,000
of the other 5800 series cards so around at the back you can see it is powered by

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:44,840
ATI radio on 5830 it has a 256bit memory

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,879
interface PCI Express 2 direct X11

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:52,199
stream technology supports Crossfire and it better for the price built in HDMI

12
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:55,520
with 7.1 surround sound and all of this basically looks like the same stuff it's

13
00:00:53,719 --> 00:01:00,079
funny they didn't even mention ifinity here but ifinity is here so you can run

14
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:03,680
up to three displays um I also have have a guide on how to set up ifinity you

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,159
should probably check that out at some point and why don't we start getting

16
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:14,720
this unpackaged okay the plastic is off it's

17
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:20,320
naked sort of it's not oh I don't have a knife I never have a knife see and I

18
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:24,200
think someone actually took the knife that I keep in this room so I'm going to

19
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:28,840
go ahead and just like stab through the protective sticker with a pen just kind

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:36,159
of yeah we're making things work there we go the box is officially

21
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:38,680
opened and now it's naked no no it's

22
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:45,479
still got another box see this is this is like an unbox box box bag in because

23
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:48,399
there are lots of boxes and bags ah another bag okay well why don't we start

24
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:55,360
with the accessories you got to be kidding

25
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:57,640
me this I have never seen something like

26
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,640
this before I thought maybe it was a a joke

27
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:10,399
but I figured it out now this is a banana digital King best CDR 52x compact

28
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:13,680
disc recordable from GOI digital it is a

29
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:15,319
grade recordable TD and it is for

30
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:23,000
high-speed driver so if you drive fast and you

31
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:25,040
are uh okay so there's something some

32
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,519
data burn to it I'm going to go ahead and assume that this is the latest

33
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:34,280
drivers so for the first time ever I'm actually going to recommend installing

34
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,959
the driver that comes on the CD because they clearly downloaded the latest

35
00:02:35,959 --> 00:02:43,480
driver off the ATI website burned it to a CD and there it is ready for your

36
00:02:40,519 --> 00:02:49,000
installation so thank you power color for actually the attention to detail of

37
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:53,360
giving us the very latest drivers for this brand new card I'm going to assume

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,800
that any future iterations of the 5830 are going to come with a real driver CD

39
00:02:55,159 --> 00:03:02,760
but uh that's still pretty funny all right so what's next next we have an an

40
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,200
installation guide all right so the installation guide is quite long it's in

41
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:12,159
a wide variety of languages it shows you how to install a graphics card in 8 * 2

42
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:15,200
is 16 different languages and I'm going to go ahead and close that right back up

43
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:18,599
while the cameraman tries to look at it oh hey I actually folded it out to the

44
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:25,159
English side check that out so they have a 5750 there for their demo okay next in

45
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:30,480
terms of accessories we have a part of the box that I can't figure out how to

46
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:35,760
open oh it's actually like sealed in there

47
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:42,680
okay and in here we have a crossfire bridge and a DVI to VGA adapter okay so

48
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:47,799
not not a whole lot going on in there let's just put that back okay

49
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,640
let's have a look at the card itself this is the exciting part now something

50
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:59,159
to note about 5800 Ser or 5800 5830 cards is that

51
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,720
there is no reference cooler design in fact there is no reference design so

52
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:09,159
what a reference design is is it's a standardized PCB and a standardized heat

53
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:15,040
sink that at says okay this is what we recommend that you use and most launch

54
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,199
cards are actually like 99% of the time

55
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,840
based on a reference design but ATI doesn't have a reference 5830 so the

56
00:04:19,239 --> 00:04:24,560
board Partners were left to come up with whatever they want in this case

57
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,280
powercolor has put together a very attractive looking card it looks like a

58
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,199
92mm fan with 1 2 3 count them four heat

59
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:34,120
pipes coming out the top to spread the heat evenly throughout this fin

60
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,360
Arrangement which we can actually see more clearly from this side so check

61
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,520
that out so you got four heat pipes going across the core of the GPU and

62
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,600
then they come out here here here and here for really good cooling that's

63
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,280
actually kind of a neat shot you can see the structure of the heat syn there if

64
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:54,120
you look down at it from that angle so this is a PCI Express 16x card all right

65
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:59,880
you got a lot enough angles there oh I like this too check this out okay most

66
00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:02,120
cards for the 5800 Series have the VR RM

67
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:07,000
or the voltage regulator module cooling integrated into the same metal chunk

68
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,360
that cools the RAM as well as the GPU but you can see we've got a separate

69
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,080
heat sink here and I actually prefer that method because vrms they get hot

70
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,400
but they don't actually produce a lot of heat so as long as you've got some

71
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:22,600
incidental air flow and a separate a nice well secured you can see they've

72
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:27,800
got actually three pegs through this thing to make sure it stays nice and well attached heat sink you can actually

73
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:33,319
remove more heat that way can you see that pretty good awesome two PCI Express

74
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:36,960
16x connectors and I don't like this these this is quite a long card actually

75
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:42,600
and you can see that these are coming out this side so that means you have to account for an additional like you know

76
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:47,840
couple centimeters out the back of the card to make sure that it can fit in your case I mean as long as you've got a

77
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,639
pretty good performance case that's nice and long then you should be all right

78
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,680
okay RAM so it has 1 gig of RAM and you can see the RAM is actually not directly

79
00:05:53,720 --> 00:06:00,919
cooled but it's all positioned underneath that 92 mm fan so I wouldn't

80
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:02,800
worry about that getting hot at all all

81
00:06:00,919 --> 00:06:06,280
at the top of the card we find two Crossfire fingers okay remember when

82
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,039
you're running two cards it's actually you can see better performance if you

83
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,560
just use one crossfire bridge and then at the back of the card there's not a

84
00:06:11,479 --> 00:06:18,919
whole lot to talk about the whole heat sink assembly is held on by four screws

85
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,639
okay four screws actually those are kind

86
00:06:18,919 --> 00:06:23,360
of funny okay they're slot screws you can just use a slot screwdriver for that

87
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:31,919
okay never mind nothing don't look at that okay here we have DisplayPort HDMI

88
00:06:27,599 --> 00:06:34,680
and DVI so the the old 5800 series cards

89
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:40,080
usually had two dvis right here and here but you can just use DVI and HDMI to DVI

90
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:44,080
cable or adapter remember they are in terms of signal they are identical so

91
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,639
there's no quality loss there's nothing like that and then DisplayPort if you

92
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,639
want to run a third monitor you will need either a DisplayPort monitor or an

93
00:06:50,039 --> 00:06:57,039
active DisplayPort to DVI adapter you can't just use a like a passive cable

94
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,560
and then they've actually got I like this too they've got actual slots here

95
00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:05,360
for the air Escape out of your case even though based on the design of the cooler

96
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,840
I can tell you already that not all of the air will be directed in this

97
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:13,199
direction a lot of it will go here a lot of it will go here but at least we're exhausting some air thank you for

98
00:07:10,919 --> 00:07:20,280
checking out my exhausting unboxing speaking of exhausting of the radon HD

99
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,280
5830
