Apparantly it won't be long before we'll see yet another series 4800 Radeon graphics card, the Radeon HD 4830. The new card is equipped with the RV770 chip that we know from the 4850/4870 cards and comes with a 256-bit memory interface and should compete with the GeForce 9800 GT.

An interesting rumor though is that the new graphics card will actually be made by AIBs themselves, which means that we're going to witness the launch of differently clocked boards and probably also differently featured.

The RV770LE graphics card will come with 512MB of memory and will have 480 stream processors. Sources say that the card will differ from the Radeon HD 4850 solution on the pipeline numbers, as the graphics card manufacturer plans to lower the pipeline count on it. There are no specific details on the amount of branches that will be cut, yet the card will end up with less pipes than Radeon 4850 and 4870.

When it comes to pricing, the card should fit just well on a position below Radeon HD 4850 and above HD 4670, but the company hasn't come up with a specific price just yet. We should also note the fact that Radeon HD 4830 is expected to fight the NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT and GeForce 9600GT cards, and the 9800GT's are placed a little over
