Benchmark Results: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 delivers the same general scenario that Crysis did, with the Radeon HD 5830 achieving a virtual tie with the Radeon HD 4890. Even with 4xAA enabled in this title, the Radeon HD 5770 holds up well. After all, this is a very forgiving game engine, despite the great visuals.

jomofro39 I love my 4890. I am sad they are disappearing, because I planned on getting a x-fire thing going in the next few months, and now I have to just try and get two 5770s and sell the 4890 I have now, obviously, so I can grab some DX11! Hurray for progress!Reply -
meluvcookies I was hoping this would be just a bit cheaper such that the 5850 could finally come down nearer it's original MSRP. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll see those adjustments until closer to the summer.Reply -
4745454b To much money for such little card. Performance wise its just a really expensive 4890. A good buy at $200, but $240 is to much. Might as well pony up the extra $60 and get the 5850. 5810 is a bit more like it.Reply -
flyinfinni seems more like a 5790 than a 5830 to me... Still- they are filling in the line quite well, and its gonna be interesting to see how Nvidia's new line will compare.Reply -
intelx im a little disappointed about this one, i mean 239 and yet the 4890 is $40 cheaper and beats it in some new games, i was really hoping for better performance form the 5830, now after reading this, im leaning towards either 5770 in crossfire or single 5850.Reply
man ati is kicking Nvidia in every corner right now, all the way from low end to the high end 5970! -

acasel Where is the overclocking portion? If this thing overclocks good then it might be a worthy purchase..Reply -
Aircraft123 This article definitely made me feel better about my dual XFX 4890 CrossFire setup. Performance is theoretically around a GTX295 for less money than a single 5870!!!Reply
if the 5830 can come down to ~$200 and offer good crossfire performance perhaps with good overclocking potential I can see this card do very well. -
notty22 ATI managed to cripple all the magic out of a 5850 with this thing.Reply
A gtx260 beats it in places and its only 10% faster than a 5770, thats 70 dollars cheaper ? Thanks , but NO Thanks. -
porksmuggler I've been waiting for this review, thanks Don. With the 4890 and 4850X2 still floating around for sale, this one isn't appealing even at $200. Performance is just too close to the 5770...Reply
