I wouldn't call it "good", but I would definitely say that if your budget is $45 then it's good enough. Yes, I'm certain it would play both of those games, although you would likely have to play on medium detail settings, you aren't going to run them on high.

Both of those games have fairly high CPU requirements as well. Crysis 3, for example, suffers fairly badly on anything lower than a Core i5 (or AMD equivalent):

omg those prices are high . i dont want to go to a hundred bucks for a card.
the specs says that the 5830 is way better but theory aint better than experience so i trust you but i just cant buy something so expensive. $100 is 10000 in jamaica and thats where am from. thats not easy money to hold.
is there anything just ass powerful for cheaper ?

Too old for what exactly? It's a Direct X 11 card, so it's current technology. It's roughly on a par with the Radeon 7770, preformance-wise. If you can get a 7770 for $45 get the 7770, definitely, it uses less power to achieve the same performance. But the 5830 is still a decent card capable of pushing modern games at 1080p @ direct X 11 @ medium detail settings, $45 is a good price.
