蓝宝石 Radeon HD 5830 Extreme（3）
Unigine's benchmarks are the most stressful OpenGL tests at this time for Linux. With Tropics, the Radeon HD 5830 at 2560 x 1600 was 4.38x faster than the GeForce GTX 460 and 21% over the Radeon HD 5770.
Unigine 是压力最大的 OpenGL 测试。Tropics 在 2560x1600分辨率下，Radeon HD 5830 的速度是 GeForce GTX 460 的 4.38 倍，比 Radeon HD 5770 快 21% 。
Unigine Heaven at 1920 x 1080 is below 30 FPS for the Radeon HD 5830 (and even the Radeon HD 6870) but this is an incredibly stressful test and there are no native Linux games at this point that are this demanding on the GPU. Unigine's soon-to-be-released OilRush game is not quite demanding as the Heaven test either. The Radeon HD 5830 still held its ground though in being faster than the Radeon HD 5770 and much faster than the GeForce GTX 460.
Radeon HD 5830（甚至是 Radeon HD 6870） 在 1920x1080 分辨率下运行 Unigine Heaven 的 FPS 在 30 以下，因为这是一个压力很大的测试，Linux 下的游戏对 GPU 没有这么大的要求。不久，Unigine 会推出一款 OilRush 游戏，游戏没有 Heaven 测试那样苛刻。当然， Radeon HD 5830 比 Radeon HD 5770 快，5770 比 GeForce GTX 460 快得多。
At 2560 x 1600 in Heaven, the Radeon HD 5830 just pushed out 16 FPS on average but its performance relative to the other graphics cards was the same.
在 2560x1600 的本辨率下运行 Heaven，Radeon 5830 平均只有 16 FPS，不过其它的显卡大概也是这个成绩。
While the Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 Extreme at launch may already be a generation old, it comes at a great value. The Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 Extreme is set to retail for $130 USD at Internet shops such as Amazon and NewEgg. Right now there is still other Radeon HD 5830 graphics cards being sold at such Internet retailers for above $150 USD on average. This card though obviously is not from some obscure AMD AIB partner and following the reference design, but it is from the very reputable Sapphire Technology and it deviates from the HD 5830 reference design by having a very nice heatpipe-based cooling solution.
虽然蓝宝石推出的 Radeon HD 5830 Extreme 推出时已经落后了一代，它还是很有价值的。蓝宝石 Radeon HD 5830 Extreme 在亚马逊和新蛋上的零售价为 130 美元。现在还有平均价格在 150 美元的 Radeon HD 5830 在网上销售。这块显卡虽然不是 AMD AIB 设计的。但是它是出自蓝宝石，它使用了非常好的一套热管散热方案。
Besides being cheaper than the competition -- both HD 5830 graphics cards from other AIB vendors and then its competition in the form of the GeForce GTX 560 (the GeForce GTX 460 even goes for above $160 USD still) and slightly cheaper than a GeForce GTX 560 -- its performance is compelling as these proprietary driver benchmarks show. With it being a Radeon HD 5000 series GPU, the open-source Linux support is already mature.
除了这款显卡比其他的 AIB 版本便宜以外，它还可以和 GeForce GTX 560（GeForce GTX 460 甚至超过 160 美元）竞争，它比 GeForce GTX 560 便宜 —— 在专有驱动下的表现令人叹服。对于 Radeon HD 5000 GPU，Linux 下的开源驱动也很成熟了。
Any Radeon GPU tends to have superior open-source support to NVIDIA GeForce GPUs that are only supported in open-source drivers via reverse engineering by the Linux community. The Radeon HD 5830 will play just fine with the modern Radeon graphics driver stack comprised of a recent Linux kernel and the Mesa Gallium3D driver. It "just works" very nicely and there will be open-source benchmarks to deliver in the coming days.
Radeon GPU 的开源驱动的支持往往比 NVIDIA GeForce GPU 的要好，GeForce 的开源驱动只能由逆向工程来获取。Radeon HD 5830 可以很好地使用现在的 Linux 内核驱动和 Mesa Gallium3D 驱动。它的 “just works” 工作得非常好，未来会有对于开源驱动的测试。
About the only situation where a mid-range NVIDIA GPU would suit you better is if performing extensive video playback under Linux. NVIDIA's VDPAU implementation for GPU-assisted video playback is still very superior to AMD's XvBA in the Catalyst driver, but if all you're doing is video playback, a low-end NVIDIA GPU or even Intel Sandy Bridge graphics will suit your needs fine.
如果您在 Linux 进行视频播放，中档的 NVIDIA GPU 会工作得更好。NVIDIA 的 GPU 提供了 VDPAU 视频回放功能，，现在这一功能还是比 AMD 催化剂提供的 XvBA 要有修，如果您现在在意显卡的视频播放功能，低端的 NVIDIA GPU 或是 Sandy Bridge 显卡都是很好的选择。
If you're looking out for a new graphics card in the $100~150 USD price-range, the Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 should be a compelling graphics card to suit your needs with the open and closed-source Linux drivers to suit everyone's needs.
如果您正在寻找一款 100 到 150 美元的显卡，蓝宝石 Radeon HD 5830 是一款很好的显卡，它的开源/闭源驱动可以是硬所有人的需要。
