Guru3D.com ImageWhile here at Guru3D we don't know any better than the official release would have been in February, Digitimes reports that according to their sources, AMD encountered a last-minute issue with the upcoming Radeon HD 5830 graphics card just when it was doing the final validation process. According to Digitimes, the company was intent on officially launching the new product on January 25th. Now, however, it seems that the HD 5830 won't make it to the shelves before February.

The Radeon HD 5830 is meant to cover the gap between the HD 5770 and Radeon HD 5850 GPU-based DirectX 11 graphics cards. Currently, the company's only offering for that price segment is the HD 4890, which lacks DirectX 11 features and is already facing strong competition from the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 200 series.
