Product Showcase

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.

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.

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.
