So, pictures then. On this page you can see the HIS Radeon HD 7870 ICEQ TURBO edition, a 2GB card.

Included with all cards will be a manual and a demo and driver CD, power converters and monitor connector converters to get your multi-monitor freak on.

As usual we see nice dark/blue looking cards from HIS. The close to 3 billion-transistor 28nm Pitcairn based core is tied to a nice 2GB memory -- which is plenty enough for midrange products.

The reference 7870 cards are 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.

The HIS 7870 ICEQ TURBO cards are however clocked 100 MHz faster at 1100 MHz. The memory clock remains reference though.

Here we can see the backside, the cards will fit pretty much any chassis. The card's PCB actually follows reference design for 99% as far as we could see. AMD's board partners are free to use their own PCBs and designs.
