Official 5830 Bashing thread.

The $200 HD 5830 keeps pace with the GTX 465 ($279)...

Some examples from my review:

Dirt 2 1920x1080, DX11:

The 260 does not perform at the level of a 5830. You might find a game or two but overall it beats a 260 more often than it loses and usually by bigger margins. Then you've got triple monitor gaming and a DX11 spec which you can actually run on a 5830. That comparison is kinda silly.

LOL yeah, triple monitor gaming on a scrub card that will push it all at 15fps. Where do I sign up for the slideshow. Or, you can buy used cards with negligible difference in performance for $100-$120. Sorry, the card sucks. If you want last-gen performance like the 5830 offers, last-gen cards are a better value. If you want current-gen performance, then you need to pay up and buy a REAL current-gen card instead of this midrange garbage.
