Great Gamer Pick Award by - 3Dgameman Video Review

" The HIS 4870 IceQ 4+ Turbo nails the Zotac GTX260 by a significant margin in both 3DMark05 and 3DMark06.......This combined with the stunning look and performance of the IceQ4+ cooler that kept the GPU temperatures well under 60C at all times and noise levels to little more than a whisper certainly makes the card worth every penny.......beating the GTX260 216 in several games!..... Across all resolutions in the HIS 4870 IceQ4+ Turbo wipes the floor with the GTX260" Overclock3D's Best in Class Award

" The HIS is both quieter and cheaper than the Sapphire " - Registered Hardware Recommended

"To some extent I feel that it should be the rolemodel for all coolers as it is very silent, well designed and very effective. It deserves 5 points." HwT.dk "Silver Award"

" The HIS card is a viable all round purchase. It performs great, looks stunning, and can be obtained at an extremely competitive price......Even with the aggressive out of the box pre-overclocking the IceQ heatsink managed to keep the toasty RV770 core at respectable temperatures and exhausted the hot air out the rear of the case. Additionally, the cooling configuration is quiet and is more than likely to be almost inaudible in the majority of enthuasiast systems. "

" The HIS Radeon 4830 GDDR3 512MB is definitely recommend by Guru3D.com, and it doesn't break the bank either. Which is something we all like in the current financial state of the world. You know that feeling when you just had a good meal, you're full, yet ...always feel there's that little room for some desert? That's AMD right now. With this product from top to bottom ATI positioned itself truly strong in the graphics card market for 2008. Impressive to say at the least. " - Guru3D Recommended

"  The efficiency of HIS product is on average higher for 9% than other radeons hd 4850, the newest Turbo X takes the first place in this group of graphic cards. The cooling is quiet and efficient.....Because of high efficiency and nice price the new card is a very good alternative to more expensive radeon hd 4870." - Chip Laboratory NOMINATION - Graphic Cards of Year 2008!

"  Compared to my Sapphire Toxic and 8800GT OC2, this card is whisper quiet. It sounds cliche, but with every aftermarket cooler or stock cooler I've tried, they always end up being louder than I thought they would be. Not with the IceQ 4. HIS engineers have done a fine job at perfecting this cooler...... The HIS HD4850 beat out the 8800GT OC2 and the other 2 HD4850 cards I threw at it." - Editor's choice award

" With Quake 4, the HD 4830 garnered a respectable 70.1 FPS. In Company of Heroes, the card delivered a positively high score of 50.1 FPS. We then moved over to Crysis, and started our test with settings on High at SXGA resolution with 8x AA and it delivered a surprising performance with an average 35.45 FPS......we find the card truly runs well, giving us exceptional Crysis performance for its price! " - Scores 8.5 out of 10 Points! HWM Silver Award

" The HIS Radeon HD 4850 IceQ 4 Turbo is a well rounded Radeon HD 4850, as it takes an already great product and makes it even better. Also, the much improved cooler means that placing two of these graphics cards in Crossfire is more realistic, as they won't cook your system. Overall we have been highly impressed with the HIS Radeon HD 4850 IceQ 4 Turbo and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking at purchasing a new Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. " - Legion Hardware's Performance Award

" While only a fairly small overclock on the default 685/1100 settings, this certainly shows that HIS have pushed every ounce of performance out of the card already with the factory overclock. The IceQ 4 cooling system also did an excellent job of keeping the card cool, running at around 40c idle and 60c under heavy extended load (rthdribl)......As the results over the previous pages have shown, the HIS manages to pull ahead of the stock clocked Sapphire card by around ~10fps in most games at certain resolutions with even more room for improvement if you decide to further overclock the card."

" HIS the best product 2008 infokomputer in Indonesia "

" Of all the cards tested today we like the design/style of the HIS card the most. The cooler, blue PCB and copper heatsinks look great and give it that little edge over the Sapphire in this department. " - Hardwarezone Editor's Choice

 "HIS's overclocked 4850 is quite a bit faster than Nvidia's closest competitor, the GeForce 9800 GTX+......The HIS Radeon HD 4850 IceQ 4 TurboX is impressively faster than Nvidia's GeForce GTX 280 almost right across the board......At the threshold of playability, it's around ten percent faster than Nvidia's GeForce 9800 GTX+ and less than five percent faster than a stock clocked Radeon HD 4850. "

‘' HD4830 is a great choice for gamers seeking a gaming card under 150USD. It beats 9800GTX+ in many tests and even comes very close to GTX260+ when AA is open. In Crossfire mode HIS HD4830 outperforms GTX280 in many games. Remember! Buying two pieces of HD4830 is much more cheaper than one GTX280. This is a best buy card now. The new HIS cooling is quite good looking. "

" HIS HD4830 is a new star in mid to high end segment for sure. It is good enough to make this card position just behind HIS HD4850 IceQ4 Turbo. "

" It does help to maintain the 4850's advantage over Zotac's overclocked GeForce 9800GT. If you own a 22-inch widescreen monitor, this card is a perfect match. It will drive any game maxed out at 1,680x1,050 with buttery smothness " - PCFormat Gold Award December 2008
