Performance Notes

The HD 4830 is approximately priced between the 9600 and 9800 GTs, and the performance splits the difference. It does exceptionally well at 1440x900, but with these DirectX 10 titles, 1680x1050 antialiasing performance drops. That said, it's nowhere near unplayable and it performs about an order of magnitude better than the next ATI step down, the 4670. It's also startlingly close, results-wise, to the overclocked 4850.
