Summary: "Earlier this week Sapphire launched the Radeon HD 5830 Extreme

using the well-supported "Cypress LE" graphics processor at a very

competitive price relative to the NVIDIA competition and the Radeon HD

5830 graphics cards from other AMD partners. With it being part of the

HD 5000 series and not one of the newer HD 6000 series graphics

processors, the Linux support is already spot-on for both the official

Catalyst Linux driver and within the open-source stack. In this article

are the open-source Gallium3D benchmarks for the Radeon HD 5830 along

with other recent ATI/AMD GPUs to show where the latest Mesa/Gallium3D

code is at today."
