Administrator Posts: 6 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Jan 6, 2009	Conclusion Pros : - HD4830 and 8800GT are identical to each other, they both performs similarly - 9800GT killer. - The fan quiet good, performs well under load, not too noisy at under load. - Highly OCable. When overclocks, it performs kinda close to HD4850. - Cheap !! (RM380 - Czone) 30/1/2009 Cons: - RV740 is around the corner - The fan does not blow the heats outside the casing, so, good casing with good airflow is suggested. Update 19 Jan 09 : added temperature for HD4830, lineout the result, added overclocked specs Update 30 Jan 09 : Price of HD4830, changed the conclusion POV.
