HIS Radeon HD 7950 HIS IceQ X2 review - Product Showcase

Product Showcase

Okay, pictures first. On this page you can see the HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ X² Boost Clock edition, a graphics card with a nice 3GB graphics memory, which is enough by any standard.

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 4.3 billion-transistor 28nm Tahiti Pro based core is tied to a massive 3GB memory -- which is plenty by any standard for a product in this range.

This HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ X² Boost Clock 3GB card is clocked at a 950 MHz core frequency and the GDDR5 memory runs at 5 Gbps (effective data rate as GDDR5 has a quad data-rate).  You can already spot the big IceQ X² cooler, 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 card is long, due to the extended PCB but mostly due to the cooler. As a result you will need 31CM of free space, that's 12.2 Inches.
