Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 1GB Review

Comparative AA Performance (Dirt 2 & Dragon Age)

In this section we dumb things down a bit to show you the average framerates a few of these cards achieve with and without AA enabled. This is done to give you an easy and straightforward way to determine how a certain card performs in a game with just a glance.


Dirt 2


In Dirt 2 we see performance of the HD 5830 sticks closer to the HD 5770 than it does to the HD 5850. It seems like the cut down core doesn't like highly demanding situations.


Dragon Age: Origins


Dragon Age shows performance that is a bit better than we saw in Dirt 2 but the HD 5830 still takes a significant when AA is enabled at any resolution. These dips once again bring its performance close to the HD 5770.
