Okay, pictures first. On this page you can see the HIS Radeon HD 7850 4GB iPower IceQ Turbo edition, a graphics card with a 4GB graphics memory, which is just huge.

Included with all cards will be a manual a demo and driver CD, power converters and monitor connector converters to get your multi-monitor freak on. Let's have a look at that:

We see a blue looking card from HIS. The close to 3 billion-transistor 28nm Pitcairn based core is tied to a massive 4GB memory -- which is plenty enough alright for midrange products.

This HIS Radeon HD 7850 card is clocked at a 1000 MHz core frequency and the GDDR5 memory runs at 4.8 Gbps (effective data rate as GDDR5 has a quad data-rate, so effectively that quadruples that number), the memory bus is 256-bit.

You can already spot the big IceQ cooler, some with sidepanel windows in their PC chassis might argue it is not the sexiest looking cooler, but it certainly keeps the card at excellent temperatures versus very low noise levels.

Here we can see the backside, the cards will fit pretty much any chassis. It's a custom design PCB with a blue color scheme. The memory density is incredible so at the backside you will spot eight out of the 16 memory ICs. To make the card a bit more sturdy HIS applied a top metal plate as well. So these cards will not bend once you place them into a horizontal position inside the PC/chassis.
