HIS Radeon R9 390 IceQ X2 OC 8GB Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2015-07-25

The technology incorporated inside the R9 390 GPU is not new but is based on the Hawaii (now baptized Grenada), with the same shader count, texture units, ROPs and so on. The manufacturing process is also still 28nm but there are minor improvements which allow running the card at higher speeds and the memory quantity has been doubled, from 4GB to 8GB. Since the HIS R9 390 IceQ X2 is marketed as a pre-overclocked card, the GPU clocked has been raised to 1020MHz instead of 1000MHz stock, while the memory clock remains the same as the OEM AMD cards.

Product Features, Specifications

Product Features:

 

IceQ X2 cooling system combines two types of heatpipes, a large heatsink and two superior dual axial fans for cooling the card more efficiently while keeping the noise to a minimum.

 

Thanks to the HIS special metal rib on the frontal side of the PCB and the backplate, the board won’t bend at all during use so the internal components won’t be damaged during prolonged use.

 

The card is equipped with improved power design delivery which is great for overclocking. HIS cards are utilizing Dynamic Phase Control PWM ICs to save power.

 

The dual-BIOS functionality of the card permits the user to use the card in two different modes (Quiet and Standard); while the Quiet mode is recommended only when we are not gaming, the Standard mode optimizes the fan curve in order to have optimal temperatures available during intense sessions.
