HIS 7950 IceQ Pro Reviews

The HIS HD7950 IceQ Turbo is a really overwhelming video card; for starters you may be overwhelmed by the price, next you will be overwhelmed by its physical size and weight. When you install it into your system you will be overwhelmed by its performance and power usage. The HIS HD7950 IceQ Turbo consumes 24 watts at idle and 205 watts when running full load! Temperatures are 37°C idle and 75°C load, putting the fan on manual and cranking it up to 100% saw the temperature drop to 70°C. I believe we may have found the limits of the HIS iCooler GPU cooler. This video card overclocked reasonably well considering it was already factory overclocked on both the GPU core and memory out of the box, and gained an average 13.20% increase in scores across the range of benchmark tests. With a more capable cooler and more time to tweak I'm sure we could have maybe squeezed more out of both clocks, thanks to the iTurbo software from HIS there is endless range to play with.
