Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2013-08-12
The HIS 7950 IceQ X2 Boost Clock 3GB card sports a high performance cooling system along with a plate to avoid PCB bending, a custom design with more power phases and can also overclock to impressive levels in order to reach Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition performances or even exceed them.
By opening the small envelope we will reveal the installation disk, along with the manual and a small case sticker:
The card is quite big and the cooling system exceeds the length of the actual PCB; two 90mm fans assure the cooling of the heatsink:
Each fan has 11 blades and in the middle we have a sticker of the iTurbo GUI:
On the sides we are able to see some of the heatpipes of the cooling system underneath:
Also, in the back we will be able to take a look at the heatsink aluminum fins:
The back side of the PCB reveals that the top cooling system is held in four small screws with springs around the GPU:
Two CrossFire fingers are available near the I/O and in the vicinity we also have a ½ switch for the Dual BIOS function:
On the I/O we can find one DVI, one HDMI but also two miniDPs for lots of connectivity options:
