We get around to testing CrossFire performance with two HIS Radeon HD 7850 IceQ X TurboX video cards.
Today we’ll be reviewing one such mid range graphics card from our friends over at HIS, the HIS Radeon HD 7850 IceQ Turbo 2GB. Looking at the specs, the card is definitely promising. As its name suggests, it comes with a new revision of HIS’s custom IceQ cooler. We’ve had a couple run-ins with HIS’ IceQ cooling solutions in the past and we’ve generally come out very impressed with its cooling...
The time has come for a CrossFire review on Tweak.dk. It's a pair of HIS Radeon HD 7850 IceQ Turbo 2GB graphics cards to be precise. Both cards are equipped with 2GB GDDR5 memmory at 4.8GHz, and have a core clock at 1GHz. The HIS Radeon HD 7850 IceQ Turbo 2GB is using the latest and largest IceQ cooler, who is among the largest coolers on the market.
We overclock the HIS HD 7850 and see how much performance we can get out of the model.
Today I’ve got a rather large review for you with a lot to cover. Today for review I’ve got the HIS Radeon 7850 video card and I’ve put it through it’s paces thoroughly including gaming, Eyefinity and overclocking. HIS has also just came out with a new software program called iTurbo that can help you adjust many of your video card settings including the fan and overclocking. When all was said and done I have to say that I’m very much impressed with what this card can do and I think you will be as well. So read on…
We looked at the Radeon HD 7850 IceQ Turbo video card the other day, and today we throw a second into the mix and look at CrossFire performance.
HIS sent over some new video cards and the first one we look at is the Radeon HD 7850 IceQ 2GB.
AMD's Radeon 7790, codenamed 'Bonaire' has been in the retail channels for a few weeks now and from what I gather, it has been welcomed very kindly by the consumers with its good level of performance for its price (as shown by the number of cards that I've looked at so far). Whilst the launch is a little while ago now, there are still a few of AMD's partners that are keen for me to take a look at their cards and see how well they perform in one of the closest fought battles to be the best card that I have seen in a fair while. With different cards each giving their own edge over other brands in terms of overclocking ability, performance, cooling, temperatures and design, HIS have got their work cut out to make their card stand out over the rest.
It has been a little while since I've had a play with a HIS card - the last one being a 7750 which was launched right back at the start of last year and as we will see there are always those little things that certain brands stick to; in the case of HIS, this is the use of a green/blue PCB and blue fan - its all part of their colour scheme and it certainly makes their card that bit more distinct.
Firing up 3DMark 11 we ended up with a score of P3580 which is exactly what we'd expect from the HD 7770. It's not a bad score, but our issue has always been compared to the HD 6870 which sits at a similar price point at the moment, the HD 7770 comes off looking quite overpriced.
What was really nice though was the cooler which let the GPU sit at 35c when idle and still quite a cool 51c at load. More surprising, though, was the cooler which came in at 54.4dB at idle and 55.1dB at load. These are good numbers which see this as the second coolest running card and quietest active cooled card we've tested recently.
We take a look at what HIS is doing with the mid-range AMD Radeon HD 7770 and take the time to overclock it to see what it can do.
