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

00:00:06.399 --> 00:00:14.559
5830 this is a part that is positioned sort of between the

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:17.600
5770 and the 5850 but it is more like a

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:20.080
5800 series than a 5700 series hence the

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:24.880
name so this is from powercolor it is a PCS plus which is I believe their

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:30.560
branding for overclocked video cards it has 1 GB of gddr5 memory something about

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.920
unleashing the gaming power and it also has DVI HDMI and DisplayPort like all

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

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:44.840
ATI radio on 5830 it has a 256bit memory

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:46.879
interface PCI Express 2 direct X11

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:52.199
stream technology supports Crossfire and it better for the price built in HDMI

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

00:00:53.719 --> 00:01:00.079
funny they didn't even mention ifinity here but ifinity is here so you can run

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

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:08.159
should probably check that out at some point and why don't we start getting

00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:14.720
this unpackaged okay the plastic is off it's

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

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

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:28.840
go ahead and just like stab through the protective sticker with a pen just kind

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:36.159
of yeah we're making things work there we go the box is officially

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.680
opened and now it's naked no no it's

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

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

00:01:47.479 --> 00:01:55.360
with the accessories you got to be kidding

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:57.640
me this I have never seen something like

00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:02.640
this before I thought maybe it was a a joke

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:10.399
but I figured it out now this is a banana digital King best CDR 52x compact

00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:13.680
disc recordable from GOI digital it is a

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:15.319
grade recordable TD and it is for

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:23.000
high-speed driver so if you drive fast and you

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:25.040
are uh okay so there's something some

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

00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:34.280
drivers so for the first time ever I'm actually going to recommend installing

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.959
the driver that comes on the CD because they clearly downloaded the latest

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

00:02:40.519 --> 00:02:49.000
installation so thank you power color for actually the attention to detail of

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.360
giving us the very latest drivers for this brand new card I'm going to assume

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:57.800
that any future iterations of the 5830 are going to come with a real driver CD

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

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.200
installation guide all right so the installation guide is quite long it's in

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

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

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

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

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

00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:35.760
open oh it's actually like sealed in there

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

00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:47.799
not not a whole lot going on in there let's just put that back okay

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:51.640
let's have a look at the card itself this is the exciting part now something

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:59.159
to note about 5800 Ser or 5800 5830 cards is that

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.720
there is no reference cooler design in fact there is no reference design so

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:09.159
what a reference design is is it's a standardized PCB and a standardized heat

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:15.040
sink that at says okay this is what we recommend that you use and most launch

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:17.199
cards are actually like 99% of the time

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:20.840
based on a reference design but ATI doesn't have a reference 5830 so the

00:04:19.239 --> 00:04:24.560
board Partners were left to come up with whatever they want in this case

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:29.280
powercolor has put together a very attractive looking card it looks like a

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.199
92mm fan with 1 2 3 count them four heat

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:34.120
pipes coming out the top to spread the heat evenly throughout this fin

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.360
Arrangement which we can actually see more clearly from this side so check

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:41.520
that out so you got four heat pipes going across the core of the GPU and

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.600
then they come out here here here and here for really good cooling that's

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

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

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

00:04:56.840 --> 00:05:02.120
cards for the 5800 Series have the VR RM

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:07.000
or the voltage regulator module cooling integrated into the same metal chunk

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

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:15.080
heat sink here and I actually prefer that method because vrms they get hot

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

00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:22.600
incidental air flow and a separate a nice well secured you can see they've

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

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:33.319
remove more heat that way can you see that pretty good awesome two PCI Express

00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:36.960
16x connectors and I don't like this these this is quite a long card actually

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

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

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:51.639
pretty good performance case that's nice and long then you should be all right

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

00:05:53.720 --> 00:06:00.919
cooled but it's all positioned underneath that 92 mm fan so I wouldn't

00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:02.800
worry about that getting hot at all all

00:06:00.919 --> 00:06:06.280
at the top of the card we find two Crossfire fingers okay remember when

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.039
you're running two cards it's actually you can see better performance if you

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

00:06:11.479 --> 00:06:18.919
whole lot to talk about the whole heat sink assembly is held on by four screws

00:06:15.880 --> 00:06:20.639
okay four screws actually those are kind

00:06:18.919 --> 00:06:23.360
of funny okay they're slot screws you can just use a slot screwdriver for that

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:31.919
okay never mind nothing don't look at that okay here we have DisplayPort HDMI

00:06:27.599 --> 00:06:34.680
and DVI so the the old 5800 series cards

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

00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:44.080
cable or adapter remember they are in terms of signal they are identical so

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:47.639
there's no quality loss there's nothing like that and then DisplayPort if you

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:52.639
want to run a third monitor you will need either a DisplayPort monitor or an

00:06:50.039 --> 00:06:57.039
active DisplayPort to DVI adapter you can't just use a like a passive cable

00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:01.560
and then they've actually got I like this too they've got actual slots here

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

00:07:03.400 --> 00:07:07.840
I can tell you already that not all of the air will be directed in this

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

00:07:10.919 --> 00:07:20.280
checking out my exhausting unboxing speaking of exhausting of the radon HD

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:20.280
