Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is set five years after the conclusion of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Despite the efforts of the Marines and the SAS, the Ultranationalists seize control of Russia and enshrine Imran Zakhaev, the deceased leader of the Ultranationalists, a hero and martyr. Meanwhile, Vladimir Makarov, one of Zakhaev's former lieutenants, begins a reign of terror against Europe by staging numerous terror attacks. The game follows two major factions. One of those is Task Force 141, a multinational military force assigned with eliminating Makarov and the Ultranationalists. The other is the U.S. Army Rangers, who fight in Afghanistan and then, following a Russian invasion of the United States, in the area surrounding Washington D.C. Traitors are revealed in the U.S. forces and protagonists are named as war criminals. The game culminates with Captains “Soap” MacTavish and John Price going into hiding after being betrayed by Lt. General Shepherd.
To test our HIS 5830 with COD MW2 we are using the Team Player mission from the single player campaign. In this level the team attack an Afghan town after the bridge is destroyed by OpFor soldiers. Our testing resolution is set to 1920×1080 or what is more commonly referred to as the HD standard 1080p.
The HIS 5830 iCooler V performed admirably in our Call of Duty testing never dropping below 50 FPS while averaging almost 90 FPS. These awesome frame rates made for excellent game play that was as smooth as one could hope for with no stuttering or hitching of any kind.
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?
