HIS HD6870 ICEQX Turbo Graphics Card Review

Just Cause 2 is an open world video game. It was released in North America on March 23, 2010, by Swedish developer Avalanche Studios and Eidos Interactive, and was published by Square Enix. It is the sequel to the 2006 video game Just Cause.

Just Cause 2 employs the Avalanche Engine 2.0; an updated version of the engine used in Just Cause. The game is set on the other side of the world from the original Just Cause, on the fictional island of Panau in Southeast Asia. Panau has varied terrain, from desert to alpine to rainforest. Rico Rodriguez returns as the protagonist, aiming to overthrow the evil dictator Pandak “Baby” Panay and confront his former mentor, Tom Sheldon.

PhysX was disabled, and all other settings were on high. AA was disabled. AF was set to 8x.

Super smooth frame rates throughout, never dropping below 30 fps at our chosen settings.

  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!
