True to form, the HIS cards are supplied in a long shaped box. The excalibur style sword takes centerstage on the front of the box, along with the basic specifications.
The bundle includes literature, a Crossfire connector, vga adapter and some power converter cables.
The HIS HD6870, as with all launch HD6870's is based around the AMD reference design.
The HIS HD6870 supports 2x mini DP (1.2), HDMI 1.4a, and 2x DL-DVI and SL-DVI connectors. It requires two 6 pin power connectors to operate. This card will expel hot air out the back of the chassis.
The reference HD6870 cooler is quite substantial, with a copper block running out to several small heatpipes. The fan is positioned on the far side so it forces air across the heatsink and out the rear of the case.
Two HIS HD6870's in our system, running in CrossfireX.
A GPUZ overview of the hardware. The HIS HD6870 is running at the reference clocks of 900mhz core and 1050mhz (4200mhz effective) via GDDR5 memory.
