HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X Turbo Reviews
His hd 6850 iceq x turbo review
HIS (Hightech) now is an established brand in the hardware industry and still pushes the envelop in terms of affordable products which are usually topped with an industry leading type of upgraded cooler if you are not settling for a reference based card. HIS's IceQ cooler in my opinion has always been one of, if not THE best upgraded cooler offered by any manufacturer on the market. The new upgraded IceQ X has no less than four 8mm copper heatpipes cooling a massive heatsink which covers over 80% of the videocard and should prove to be an effective cooler. The HIS HD 6850 IceQ X being reviewed today is a factory overclocked HD 6850 with the core clock rate pushed up from 775Mhz to 820 Mhz and the memory pushed up from 1000Mhz to 1100Mhz. This is a pretty decent overclock right out of the box, but I have a sneaky suspicion that that cooler will able to handle it easily and keep temperatures under control with minimal effort. In fact, I bet there is a bit more overclocking performance to bad had and I aim to push this graphics card to its limits and see what this card is truly capable of. Read on to find out what I find. HIS - Hightech Information System Limited is an internationally acclaimed graphics cards company.
HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ review
Lower mid-range graphics cards are easy to lose in the clamour about higher-end cards but not the HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X. Like its IceQ X predecessors this Radeon HD 6850 is treated to an enhanced cooler that HIS claim can run the card 13C cooler than the reference design and produces 7dB less noise. Taking the HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X in relation to its nearest rivals though we're going to end up comparing it to the Nvidia GTX 460 and the Radeon HD 6870. The question is whether it's worth spending the additional outlay on the faster AMD card or choosing the Nvidia alternative. Partly your monitor could already hold the answer as the HD 6850 performs best at around the 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, it'll also cope with 1,920 x 1,080 adequately as well but you'll need to start turning off anti-aliasing and the more demanding effects. In comparison to the slightly cheaper GTX 460 the HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X generally out performs or equals it. When it comes to this specific HIS IceQ X card the cooler is worth the outlay alone, putting overclocking aside it makes the fan-noise levels (once it's inside a case) drop to a negligible point.
