I have no problems recommending this card to anyone who is in the market for a mid/high end card. You will definitely want to run the fan speed a bit faster to stop the GPU heating up too fast under a heavy load but that's childsplay... Right?

While the extra performance that results from the factory overclocking is welcome the most compelling feature of this HIS graphics card is the IceQ X cooler as it transforms the wildcat HD 6870 into a pussycat. All we need now are some compelling DirectX11 games.

TechSpot‘s review Edit

The HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X Crossfire performed on average 4% slower than the GeForce GTX 590 and 10% slower than the Radeon HD 6990. But while the IceQ X Turbo X combo costs $500, the other two cards are fetching the $700 mark. The 6870 Crossfire duo was on average 51% faster than the Radeon HD 6970 and 37% faster than the GeForce GTX 580 as well. Even compared to the Radeon HD 6970, which currently costs roughly $360, the 6870 IceQ X Turbo X Crossfire cards are 39% more expensive for a 51% performance increase.

HardwareZone‘s review Edit

HIS claims their 6870 IceQ X Turbo X is the “world’s fastest Radeon HD 6870” and based on our findings here, we think they are right. Judging from clock speeds alone, the HIS card is the highest amongst their competitors. Out of the box, the HIS 6870 IceQ X Turbo X was about 5% to 10% quicker than the MSI R6870 Hawk and the previously reviewed HIS Radeon HD 6870 Turbo. However, because its clock speeds are already so high, the HIS 6870 IceQ X Turbo X, unfortunately does not leave much room for overclocking. And in its overclocked state, you can see that performance doesn’t improve significantly.
