- Award-winning ATI Radeon™ HD 4800 series technology now available in Bahrain at price points to match every gamer budget-

Manama, Bahrain: AMD has introduced the ATI Radeon™ HD 4830 graphics card, raising the performance bar for graphics cards priced at less than $150 (USD) and presenting gamers in Bahrain with even more affordable access to award-winning ATI Radeon™ HD 4800 series performance.

Like all ATI Radeon™ HD 4800 series products, the new offering delivers class-leading game performance and superior HD multimedia capabilities, as well support for the latest DirectX® 10.1 games soon to be released for the holiday season.

ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 series graphics cards were first introduced in June 2008 with the arrival of ATI Radeon™ HD 4850 and ATI Radeon™ HD 4870. The two products represented the world's first graphics cards to deliver one TeraFLOPS or more of compute power, quickly establishing both as cards of choice for gamers in the performance and enthusiast segments. The ATI Radeon™ HD 4870, and its dual-GPU variant, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2, continue to be the only graphics cards to utilize a frame buffer based on cutting-edge GDDR5 memory. Most recently, AMD launched the ATI Radeon™ HD 4830 graphics card, raising the performance bar for graphics cards priced at less than USD $150 and presenting gamers with incredibly affordable access to the leading-edge performance of the ATI Radeon HD 4800 series.

Resetting the performance bar below $150

The ATI Radeon™ HD 4830 graphics card delivers outstanding value to gamers.  With the launch of this card, even the most intimidating games that were previously unplayable on a graphics card selling for less than $150 can now be enjoyed at playable frame rates, even when using image enhancements such as anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.

 For Bahrain gaming enthusiasts looking to get even more performance out of their gaming rigs, ATI Radeon™ HD 4830 cards support ATI CrossFireX™ technology allowing them to combine as many as four cards in one PC.

The ATI Radeon HD 4800 graphics card is supported by a dozen add-in-board companies offering custom designs of the products.  Partners include ASUS, Club 3D, Diamond Multimedia, Force3D, GECUBE, GIGABYTE, HIS (Hightech Information Systems), Jetway, MSI, Palit Multimedia, PowerColor, SAPPHIRE Technology and  VisionTek.   

Gamers can purchase any of the HD 4800 series of graphics cards in Bahrain from Mass Computers.
