Here we see the bundle and packaging for the 6870 which we'll also put to the test today. No real extras aside from the standard basics.
Opposed to the 6850 we've just shown you, the Radeon HD 6870 is 100% reference based, that includes both the card, clocks and cooling. We find the performance of this card to be quite interesting alright. Again, a very similar cooler design, nice black PCB and dark coloring schema, but the only thing different here compared to the reference design is that HIS sticker.
At the front side, exactly the same monitor connectivity, two DisplayPort 1.2 connectors, HDMI 1.4a and two DVI connectors (only one dual-link). By the way, a single link DVI connector will still get you up-to a monitor resolution of 1900x1200.
At the backside here also we spot one CrossfireX connector/finger at the top right side. This means this card also can be set up in CrossfireX 2-way mode only. We expect that the upcoming Cayman based graphics card (6900) will get two CFX fingers though.
At the top side (as the board is a little longer) we spot two 6-pin PCIe PEG headers, the board has a rated TDP of 150W, each 6-pin PCIe PEG connector can carry 75 Watts and the PCie bus another 75W. These are of course theoretical figures, a PSU can push through much more.
Here also a nice photo of the product alive and in action in our test-setup. Somehow, these are always the more beautiful product photos. Anyway, let's continue with the article, next up is 1080P video processing.
HIS Radeon HD 7950 HIS IceQ X2 review
We test and review the a HIS Radeon HD 7950 HIS IceQ X, this 30 CM sized beast is one heck of a graphics card. Custom PCB, custom cooling, it's low noise and being a Boost edition card series, it clocks in at 950 MHz.
HIS Radeon HD 7850 4GB iPower IceQ Turbo review
We test and review the a HIS Radeon HD 7850 iPower IceQ Turbo as single card and in Crossfire today. The HIS Radeon HD 7850 iPower IceQ Turbo is a factory overclocked 4GB version of the Radeon HD 7850 graphics card.
HIS Radeon HD 7970 X Turbo edition review
We review the HIS Radeon HD 7970 X Turbo edition. With this card they took the new Tahiti XT2 and redesigned the R7970 board from ground up. though very long the end result is a 31cm PCB with mane power phases and optimizations. Fun to see are the voltage and FAN monitor LED options. Most impressive however is the sheer amount of monitor connectors HIS injected into this product, four DisplayPort connectors, one HDMI and a DVI connector. If needed you can go for Eyefinity6. Oh did I mention already that the factory set boost clock frequency is 1180 Mhz ?
HIS Radeon HD 7950 ICEQ Turbo review
We review the HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQX Turbo. The product comes factory overclocked very nicely for you as it is running a gentle 900 MHz clock frequency. HIS uses a custom PCB and dual-slot cooler making the card very easy to install. Despite that factory overclock and that cooler the noise levels remain at very low levels whereas the GPU temperatures remain downright excellent as we'll show you in this review.
