Pat yourself on the back if you guessed 5830, because that's the magic number for AMD and its horde of add-in board partners.
Still confused? The Radeon HD 5830 is the last in a long line of 5-series GPUs from AMD. Designed to slot into the space that exists between the £125 HD 5770 and £225 HD 5850, the new chip will, finally, complete a top-to-bottom DX11 graphics-card line-up.
