For all the tests conducted in this review, we used the test system with a Gigabyte EP45-DS3L motherboard loaded with an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 cooled by an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and 4GB of OCZ Reaper HPC Edition memory. Powering the system is a PC Power & Cooling 750W Quad Silencer.

Software consisted of Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, updated with SP1 and all available system updates. Call of Duty 4 was patched to the latest version, 1.07, and Crysis Warhead was just released and is up to date. ATI Catalyst drivers, version 8.542.0.0, were used throughout the review.

Lets jump right into it, and see how the MSI Radeon HD 4830 stands up against todays hottest games and most popular 3D benchmarks.
