HIS Radeon HD 7870 IceQ X Turbo X 2GB Graphics Card

Taking a look at the front of the card, we see the patented IceQ X cooler, with it’s sleek black design. The card includes a single large 92mm fan in the middle and some shiny accented panels either side.

At the top of the card, you’ll see four heatpipes that HIS claim to give the best possible performance by removing heat from the core.

Power wise, we have the typical dual 6-pin PCI-Express connector set-up; side by side.

We also have a single CrossFireX connector, allowing for two of these cards to be run together for some extra performance in gaming.

Finally, taking a look at the rear I/O of the card, we see a single, dual-link DVI connector, HDMI and two Mini DisplayPort connectors. These are the same connectors that we will find on a reference Radeon HD 7850/7870. It’s also possible, through use of these connectors to operate an AMD Eyefinity monitor configuration if you wish.

Taking a quick look at GPU-Z, we can see that the GPU clock has been increased by 100MHz to 1100MHz and the memory by 50MHz, bringing it to 1250MHz.
