Aliens versus Predator is a science fiction first-person shooter computer game developed by Rebellion Developments and published by Fox Interactive for PC and Apple Macintosh computers in 1999. It is based on the Alien and Predator media franchises and the crossover Alien vs. Predator franchise. It was unofficially ported to Linux in 2001 and Xbox in 2009, following Rebellion's public release of the game's source code. A sequel, Aliens versus Predator 2, was developed by Monolith Productions and released by Sierra in 2001.
Like the 1994 Alien vs Predator game for the Atari Jaguar, Aliens versus Predator offers three separate campaigns, each playable as a separate species: Alien, Predator, or human Colonial Marine.[2] Each player character has different objectives, abilities, and weapons. The single-player campaign presents the player with a conventional series of levels to progress through that are designed around the abilities of each character.
To test the HIS 5830 iCooler V Turbo we will play some AVP at 1920×1200 with DX 11 Texture Quality on Very High, Shadow Complexity High, ambient occulsion on, Motion Blur, MSAA Samples 1, 16af. It should be interesting to see how the HIS 5830 matches up to its big brother the HIS 5850 in this DirectX 11 shooter.
The HIS 5830 performed rather well and stood up to it's big brother providing decent performance through the entire test. The 5830 was able to stay within 5-6 frames per second in minimum and average frames per second. Only when we compare the maximum frame rates did the gap widen.
They aint bad cards but the 460 has just killed them, as stated on the conclusion. still ive noticed some 5830s selling cheap locally so they might be picked up cheap in the next month, especially with the new range hitting shortly.
My brother has a 5830 and it was a good buy then, it doesnt seem such a good buy now. then again with the 460 pricing, neither really does the 5850.
Saw this in a local store for $50 off recently. might be worth it at that price. full price ? no thanks.
Interesting. I heard one of the v turbo coolers and they are pretty loud. not a great design from HIS sadly. card isnt bad. overpriced.
The 460 has killed the place for the 5830 IMHO but all and all it’s not a bad card
Wow this card looks huge and bulky compared to my gtx 460 which is barely longer than the pcie connector……just looks old.
Can somebody upload the vga bios for this model?
