The HIS card is supplied within a very understated white box with a sword taking center stage.
The box opens with the card encased within a tough plastic protective container.
Underneath is a manual and a CD with driver. Always best getting your drivers from the AMD site however, and we recommend you get the brand new Catalyst 10.6 drivers for maximum image quality.
The card is passively cooler and has a substantial cooler on top to make sure it all runs within specifications. It is built around a blue coloured PCB.
Underneath the cooler we can see the pin connector for the reference fan, obviously it is not connected on this ‘Silence Edition'. The memory on this card is DDR3 running at 1300mhz.
The card supports, VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs which is the same as the reference design.
The card flipped onto its underside.
thats actually very nice, I like the DDR3 option, i was amazed sapphire were still selling cards with DDR2, even if its lower end. id go for this rather than sapphire tbh.
another good review Zardon, take a break for god sake ! we will be carrying you out in a body bag !
Site seems to be going down, some pages arent loading for me.
Thanks for the review, nice read.
Excellent little board, and DDR3 which is rare on these lower end cards. like it.
very good review chaps. liked the power consumption, I must get one of these for my bedroom for media. IQ looks stellar
12w idle and under 30w gaming. lol that is fucking legendary.
Bollocks to this, review pissed me off 🙁 I bought the DDR2 model last week 🙁
Honestly man, can you please let me know now if you have a GDDR5 version being reviewed next week? I don’t want to make the same mistake as poor Francois 🙁
