HIS HD6870 ICEQX Turbo Graphics Card Review

For our 5760×1080 testing today across three monitors we are going to start with the immensely popular Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game uses the IW 4.0 game engine which is superior to the engine used in the original Call of Duty 4. We are testing with 4AA and maximum ingame details.

At 5760×1080 the HD6870 ICEQX manages to produce an average of over 60 frames per second which is a fantastic result.

  1. WOw that cooler melts my eye balls.

    Thank god you dont have to look at it all the time once its installed !

  2. Hey, anyway we can petition them to make the cooler a different colour? that really is dire looking.

    but hey it works I ‘pose ! nice one.

  3. Why have they a y shaped plate over the memory? whats that about?

  4. Bit of a contradiction that card. one of the best AMD 6870s and easily the ugliest.

    Those temperatures are great, especially for the new version of Furmark, which melts some cards. I am not sure I value furmark anymoer for temps, but I like the fact you include gaming results.

  5. @ Dave. the metal plate is obviously for cooling, there are probably thermal pads under it. and then the fan above keeps it cooler and it takes the heat from teh chips.

  6. Nice card design and great performance. as the review says though the 560 is a tough card to beat at this price point.

  7. Weird choice of colours for the cooler design. its very bright. looks like cheap plastic.

  8. I still have concerns about HIS warranty in UK, ive read horror stories.

  9. Wow, 975mhz core, thats insane for an out of the box setting. They must have a good batch for this release.

  10. Very good card from HIS. Its a make I never look at when buying a card, but this one looks like one of the best.

  11. the color isn’t for everyone, apparently. It’s a good match though for Gigabyte Mobo’s. Not that anyone should be buying a VC because of the color. Excluding case modders, possibly.

  12. Where can I buy this exact card? I recently read a review in PC Gamer magazine noting it at £149, but can’t find this model online anywhere!
