"If you want to save a few dollars the non-Turbo model from HIS is an excellent option that can be overclocked via the new HIS iTurbo software. The HIS HD 7870 IceQ is just a good buy for people who want an all round video card that hits many areas well. Overall TweakTown Rating 95%." TweakTown "Editor's Choice Award"

"What's really impressive however is that the Radeon 7850 iCooler 2GB managed to pull that off with virtually the same noise levels as the 7770 and only a 30% increase in power requirements. When it comes to overclocking we were able to squeeze an additional 12% increase in performance which is not bad at all especially since it's for free and since you can achieve that by using the brand new and extremely easy to use iTurbo software by HIS." NiKKtech "Golden Award"

"If you are on a very tight budget and you are looking for the best price/performance ratio around the USD100 mark then the Radeon HD 7770 iCooler 1GB GHz Edition by HIS is the way to go." NiKKtech "Golden Award"

"HIS's 7950 IceQ Turbo is surprisingly fast, delivering 10% more performance than a stock model on average and sitting only 7% below the HD 7970. Whereas most HD 6950s could be unlocked, turning them into fully-fledged HD 6970s, the HD 7950 doesn't seem to require such modifications." Legion Hardware "Performance Award"

"The HIS Radeon HD 7870 IceQ Turbo outperforms other 7950 cards in terms of performance. It is also energy saving. The card also keeps temperatures in a good frame and the fan is not noisy." PC Welt

"The HIS 7950 IceQ Turbo is the only card with a consistent DHE solution, carrying hot air out through the back of the casing inside out ...HIS offers significantly lower volume level.  Enthusisastic users with sensitive ears are probably best served with the card." Tom's Hardware "Best Buy Award"

"The graphics performance of the HIS HD7950 IceQ Turbo is good enough for playing most games at 1920x1080 with the highest settings. There are obviously some games that will test it if you put everything on maximum. Its performance out of the box was exceptional which I expected, for me the HD7000 series represents what the HD6000 series could and should have been - a proper upgrade." Benchmark Reviews "Silver Tachometer Award"

"The IceQ X cooler does a fantastic job of keeping temperatures down, even when stressed to the max in terms of core clock and memory speeds. Not only did we witness low temperatures, but also saw this card as a strong contender when it came to acoustics and power consumption." eTeknix "Editor's Choice"

"After completing all of the tests I was pleasantly surprised that such a little video card could perform as well as it did, but the performance of this card means nothing until you put it into perspective. When you consider the fact that the power draw is so low, coupled with the really low operating temperature we are starting to really see what this generation of graphics technology has in store for us." Benchmark Reviews "Golden Tachometer Award"

"The HIS card we tested has a very good cooling solution.  It is very quiet, and gives the card low temperatures. This is an excellent card for many [people].
+ A good cooler
+ Low noise

"The performance of the HIS 7870 is excellent, there’s no doubt about that and if you’re looking for a video card that can handle your gaming needs then I suggest you seriously take a look at this one." Testfreaks "Recommended Product"

"When all is said and done though, the HIS HD7870 is the fastest card of the Pitcairn family we have tested to date and so clearly deserves our Elite award. I struggled long and hard over what 'medal' to give the GPU. I could easily dismiss the HIS as a Gold winner and to be truthful, I almost did as it really is that good. Were the card not priced so close to the HD7950, Gold is the award that the card would receive and deservedly so as it performs extremely well in all areas bar one - the price. It therefore, like the other HD7870's, has to settle for Silver, albeit a very shiny, highly polished silver!" Vortez "Silver Award"

"The card performs better or at least as good as the other HD7870 in all tests. The cooler is made of hard-plastic and it looks the incredibly nice out.  The entire card is designed perfectly.  Everything from the location of the power connector for the cooler width.  Thumbs up, here!
The card is extremely rugged, not particularly heavy, and works all in all really solid." LaptopWorld.dk "Editor's Choice"

"The HIS 7870 IceQ has shown it’s self as an epic overclocker and also that the 7870 is an excellent platform. The card ripped through every game test and did well in the benchmarks too. The IceQ cooler kept the GPU cool and stayed quiet, even while overclocked the auto fan was quiet. When it comes to aesthetics, if you’re the kind of person with lighting and a window into your case, you will most likely love the look of the card, those heatpipes look pretty flashy." XSReviews "Rated 9/10"

"This card a good solution for those who play casually and do not want to run at high resolutions ...although still is able to handle a very large part of the most current games.  It is also a good solution for those who are building a HTPC..." Adrenline "Silver Product"

"Taking a look at the big picture of the HIS 7870 IceQ X Turbo X, we see great things from this card. A superior heatsink versus reference in every way (performance and sound), and this sample was  a solid overclocker as well." Overclockers.com "Approved"
