"AMD has had a very good year when it comes to graphics cards. The HD4000-series has proved to be competitive in basically every segment and the best proof for this is the fact that it has forced NVidia to rethink their pricing-structure and lower prices to meet the competition.

If we look at the various models we however notice a small gap in the line-up. The gap obviously is between the HD4670 and the HD 4850. Either you spend around $80 or take a steep step up to $150 and above. The GPU that we are going to talk about today is aimed to fill that gap and give users an opportunity to get more speed while still not having to pay for the HD 4850. The GPU is of course the HD 4830 and the RSSP is $100 - $150.

HIS was kind enough to send over their newest card, the HIS HD 4830 Fan (Full HD 1080p) HDMI and it is that card we will review at the same time as we present the HD 4830."
