Graphic cards
The radeon 6850 hit the market in October last year and was a big step up for AMD in regards to developing new technologies and harnessing older architecture by improving on its already successful reign.
HIS has come out fast this time with a pre overclocked card and to be honest, they need to. AMD-only partners like them need to make sure the interest is constantly there for AMD based video cards and they figure the best way to do this is get a pre overclocked model to the market sooner rather than later.
We’ve looked at the HD 6850 in Crossfire and that’s all great, but now it’s time to get down to business and while the HD 6870 isn’t going to be the top single GPU card from AMD (that’s reserved for the HD 6970), the aggressive pricing structure of the model means that going CF could be a very good option.
Barts XT, der Chip der Radeon HD 6870, ist nunmehr ein halbes Jahr auf dem Markt und hat seitdem das Gleichgewicht in der Performance-Klasse erheblich verändert. Nun wollen wir anhand der HIS Radeon HD 6870 überprüfen, wie sich die Karte mit neuem Preis gegen die Konkurrenz schlägt und ob ein Wechsel aus der alten MidRange-Klasse sich lohnen würde, oder ob doch die langsam auslaufende Radeon HD 5870 die bessere Wahl wäre. Mit der HIS Radeon HD 6870 haben wir eine Grafikkarte im Test, die der Referenz von AMD entspricht und somit stellvertretend für die meisten verkauften Radeon HD 6870 gesehen werden kann.

This past 12 months has seen a lot of new products for AMD in terms of processors, the Fusion platform and of course graphics cards. The HD 6870 has been a top seller for them since its initial launch and have kept a steady growth of sales even with higher end competitor cards being released. As with most graphics cards that are released, a reference design of sorts is used to show the performance and a custom design card follows on later down the line. The HD 6870 saw a massive boost in sales when custom coolers were strapped to the cards and with HIS branding their IceQ X fan and heatsink, it proves our point to the letter.
March has just been an unreal month with the amount of launches we've seen. We saw both AMD and NVIDIA release extremely fast Dual GPU models along with NVIDIA releasing a new mid-range one. If you thought it was going to quiet down, you'd be wrong, because April is looking just as crazy with more releases from NVIDIA and AMD along with partners releasing fancy versions of popular models.
Already having looked at the HD 6970 in Crossfire, it was time to see what its slightly smaller brother, the HD 6950, was capable of when we paired it up with a second one. Scaling has become extremely strong with not just the HD 6970, but the HD 6000 on a whole it seems.
There are no shortage of modified AMD HD6000 series cards currently available on the market, and today we are looking at the latest HD6950 from HIS, featuring the infamous semi transparent IceQ cooler. The HIS ATI Radeon HD 6950 IceQ X PLUS Edition is a custom design and based on past experiences we expect great things from the latest solution.
Although the HIS Radeon HD 6950 IceQ X Turbo X 2GB (H695QNX2G2M) may not be the fastest single card out there still its very good overall performance along with its great overclocking potential, low noise levels and Eyefinity multi-monitor support result in a great product.
I've always liked the Turbo series from HIS. It's not my favorite series from the company, with me personally being a larger fan of the iCooler series, but more importantly the iCooler Turbo series which carries the benefits of an upgraded cooler and benefits of that pre-overclock.
