ATI Radeon HD 5830
$200.00
Released February, 2010
The Pros:Can play most games at good settings. Plenty of power for complex graphic tasks. Easy to set up in CrossFire mode with another card.
The Cons:Draws a lot of power from your system especially when under load. Outputs a fair amount of heat into the case that needs to be vented. Larger profile card needs a significant amount of room.
