Power Color VGA PCS series of models of HD 5830 and HD 5850 has similar specs but different. Again again ATI makes a fanatical gamer giddy with ATI products. And brings back the code name X830. Each
manufacturer made modifications to the ATI HD 5830 models, as well as change their heatsinks with PowerColor PCS technology.

Display the image below is the view port of the PowerColor HD 5850 and HD 5830.
PowerColor HD 5850 has 4 ports with 2 DVI outputs, HDMI and DisplayPort. While PowerColor HD 5830 only has 3 ports with DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. The number of ports from PowerColor PowerColor HD 5850 and HD 5830 are different 1buah.
PowerColor HD 5850 is more flexible use of multiple displays, which can allow users PowerColor HD 5850 HD with 3 output monitor. But a combination of both together, because the PowerColor HD 5830 is also capable of displaying three displays. And second VGA should be connected to DisplayPort to activate an additional port to monitor.
From the VGA capabilities, can be seen in the specification below.
PowerColor HD 5850 specification was working at a lower clock speed. Just reach 760Mhz but higher than the ATI design which only reached 725MHz.
Most unique is the PowerColor HD 5830, it has a higher speed of 825Mhz. Not surprisingly, determine power consumption PowerColor ATI HD 5830 should be larger. When the detail images shown are not too complex and wide. PowerColor HD 5830 certainly more capable of displaying images speed, because speed PowerColor HD 5830 clock speeds are higher than the PowerColor HD 5850.
From the technology owned by PowerColor HD 5850 is not to emulate the PowerColor HD 5830 which is smaller. PowerColor HD 5850 has shader process larger, with 1440 units while the PowerColor HD 5830 only amounted to 1120 units. Overview tdaik much different but there are weaknesses in the PowerColor HD 5830. The number of ROP was owned only half of the PowerColor HD 5850. Ability is what makes the PowerColor HD 5850 perform better.

Clock speed PowerColor HD 5830
Both VGA require power supply with 2 PCIe connectors
Power needs for PowerColor HD 5850 and HD 5830. Both have a 2 port power connector. And must be installed both, if not installed then the VGA will not work. To use PowerColor PowerColor HD 5850 and HD 5830, required power supply output cable with 2 PCIe connectors. Given PowerColor PowerColor HD 5850 and HD 5830 requires power big enough to 150W and 175W. We need at least a good power supply with an output of 500W or higher.

Test is intended for those who want to upgrade the VGA but still retains the old hardware with the ability of Windows XP. Test this time still retain the old processor to overclock.
Test type HAWX Arcade games, high settings without AA. Score both are still well received. Speeds reached a level above normal FPS of 60fps
Test game GRID. This time the ability of distant menungguli PowerColor HD 5850 PowerColor HD 5830. With the number of procesing larger, detailed images with the highest settings without AA. PowerColor HD 5850 HD 5830 left much kemampuah. Views racing game is indeed more smoothly with the HD 5850.
Test results from the game First Person Shotter, Battlefield Bad Company 2. On average, the ability of HD 5850 appear taller. But it can be seen in the graphic display below. Able to stick to the speed HD 5830 Powercolor HD 5850 speeds. In the graph below the speed PowerColor HD 5830 looks more stable than the PowerColor HD 5850, considering the clock speed of the HD 5830 is higher than the PowerColor HD 5850.
MW2 COD game with high settings without AA, the ability PowerColor HD 5830 should remain with PowerColor HD 5850. To speak different MW2 games, because games First Person Shooter requires maximum speed on the frame rate. So as to up its maximum speed of the PowerColor HD 5850. Very contrast speeds PowerColor HD 5850 which looks more superior, with an average frame rate is always above the PowerColor HD 5830. Are they really much different. PowerColor HD 5850 and HD 5830 are more adequate for games MW2.
PowerColor HD 5850, VGA capabilities that this one does not need to be questioned. Although the price is more expensive than PowerColor HD 5830, but the display of images more smoothly without experiencing a significant drop. Given the PowerColor HD 5850 not only has a higher specification with a 10MHz reference board from ATI. A good cooling system from PowerColor PCS design, making it more quiet VGA when working with a large heatsink cooler. Output PowerColor HD 5850 is more flexible, because it has 4 outputs from 2 DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. Interested in using 3 monitors for gaming, PowerColor HD 5850 might be more adequate than the PowerColor HD 5830. Comparing the ability of the 2 best VGA between HD 5830 and HD 5850. PowerColor HD 5850 is certainly an option.
PowerColor HD 5830 remains attractive in terms of price. PowerColor HD 5830 fills the position of HD 5770 and HD 5850. Intended for gamers with high end VGA budget needs. Not too expensive but still capable of displaying the speed of drawing enough on the monitor screen 22 inch. PowerColor HD 5830 is unique, although the ability of the VGA is trimmed by ATI. In the test a few games did not make the PowerColor HD 5830 was far different. Of course with the limitation of the ability of the PowerColor HD 5830 features. And had to yield under the PowerColor HD 5850 performance more perfect. As long as they do not use the image detail is very high. PowerColor HD 5830 VGA remain worthy ogled as a top gaming. Because the PowerColor HD 5830 is not designed according to the standard reference board from ATI but the same cooling system as owned by the PowerColor HD 5850. But the need to remind you again the importance of the price of the second VGA. If one day the price of PowerColor HD 5850 down, we strongly recommend memilihPowerColor than PowerColor HD 5850 HD 5830.
