With the HD 4830 launch set to happen sometime today, we managed to get some info on MSI's HD 4830 card. As the HD 4830 is just a cutback version of the HD 4850 with less stream processors , and the RV770LE is pin to pin compatible with the HD 4850 PCB, MSI decided to use the same PCB that we already had a chance to see with the launch of the HD 4850 card.

MSI's HD 4830 will therefore come with 4+1-phase power design; where four phases will be for GPU and one for DDR3 memory. According to the slide that we managed to see, this will result in reduced load on each power phase, lower temps of the PWM part, improved power efficiency, longer lifespan and most importantly, better overclocking capability.

Other features of MSI's HD 4830 include solid state chokes and solid capacitors for the GPU and memory power module. We know that MSI will have two versions of the HD 4830 card and that both will probably have the same HD 4850 PCB.

More details should follow soon, as MSI is bound to launch its cards today.
