#His iturbo plus#
2x 6mm plus 2x 8mm wide heatpipes optimise the cooling performance by removing heat from the core of the GPU. Up to 26☌ cooler than the reference cooler due to a super large 9.2cm axial fan which is equipped with 2 ball bearings and is extremely durable with a life span of 70,000 hours. The 7870 IceQ X and the 7870 IceQ feature clock rates of 1000 MHz, offering superb quality for the most demanding games and applications.
#His iturbo software#
The iTurbo software allows users to control the temperature, speed and power of the GPU, ensuring maximised OC capability and a longer lifespan of the card. Equipped with the legendary IceQ cooling technology, the cards are up to 26☌ cooler than the reference models as well as substantially quieter to create a silent atmosphere.Īdditionally all three cards feature innovative overclocking software by HIS – iTurbo. Nonetheless, the goal with the Turbo model is to ramp up to "Turbo" speeds at the click of a mouse, allowing the card to overclock to "Platinum Edition" speeds.Hightech Information System (HIS) today launched three brand new graphics cards, the HIS 7870 IceQ X 2GB, the HIS 7870 IceQ 2GB and the HIS 7850 IceQ 2GB.
We've worked with the software in the past and found it to be pretty straight forward and effective, although, this time around our CD was defective. Additionally, the Turbo model came with HIS' iTurbo Overclocking Software. But with the main feature being the driver's ability to be ejected from the car, the game did bring a unique perspective. Both come with a game called FlatOut, a demolition derby/racing type game that suffered from an awful soundtrack, but was somewhat addicting. We should note that the PowerDVD 6 was the 2 channel edition, taking away slightly from the initial appeal of the included title. The software was virtually identical as well, including a number of the same titles as seen in list below each image. HIS X850XT Platinum Editionīoth packages included the same hardware complement, including DVI-to-VGA adapters, VIVO cabling, HDTV Output cabling and molex power splitters. On the inside, the similarities continued with only slight variations in content. Model Name HIS X850XT IceQ II Turbo VIVO 256MB AGPĪside from a small, quarter-sized sticker stating whether the package was a "Platinum Edition" or "Turbo" model, the retail packaging was identical on the outside. Model Name HIS X850XT PE IceQ II VIVO 256MB AGP This was further solidified by increasing their availability in the States, which was a major detriment in the past. With their trademark IceQII cooling and complete retail packaging, HIS has made a statement that they are here to stay. Over the past few months, HIS has really gotten our attention with their product line, delivering some high-quality graphics cards. Both cards are the cream of the HIS crop, boasting the most powerful GPUs they have to offer in AGP flavor. The latest such offerings to reach our test bench are from HIS in the form of their X850XT IceQII Turbo VIVO 256MB AGP and HIS X850XT Platinum Edition IceQII VIVO 256MB AGP. Nonetheless, new AGP offerings continue to hit store shelves. Surely, the day PCI-Express completely eclipses AGP isn't too far off, as the bandwidth and power benefits of PCI-Express are very real. Virtually any video card manufacturer you look at is still offering AGP based graphics solutions, even in the high-end sector. While PCI-Express has certainly gained a lot of ground, AGP is not ready to die just yet. This holds true when we think about AGP graphics cards. As the old saying goes, "It's better to burn out than to fade away".
