HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X Turbo

Test Setup
As with all our graphics card tests, we use a number of benchmarking utilities and programs to squeeze out every last frame possible from the card whilst placing it under immense pressure. We do this in our separate testing rig as detailed below which supports AMD and Nvidia cards to give the fairest tests possible.

The tools that we use for benchmarking graphics cards include:

• 3DMark 11
• Unigine Heaven 2.1
• Batman: Arkham Asylum
• Crysis Warhead
• Dirt 2
• Just Cause 2
• Mafia II
• Metro 2033

We also use other tools to monitor certain aspects of the graphics card, this includes:

• CPUID HWMonitor
• Digital MultiMeter
• MSI Afterburner
• GPU-Z
