[Good Product] HIS X1300 IceQ 256MB is a good card to go for when looking to upgrade a graphic card ......It's a cheap solution that can get the job done.

[Produto Recomendado Clube do Hardware] We were really impressed by Radeon X1300 Pro performance, far greater than the performance obtained by GeForce 6200 and Radeon X300 models we included in our comparison. In fact, Radeon X1300 Pro was faster than GeForce 6600 in all tests but Doom 3. So if you are thinking of buying a "plain" GeForce 6600, consider changing your mind into buying a Radeon X1300 Pro instead. As for HIS model, it has as great advantage its IceQ cooling system, which pulls hot air from inside the PC to the outside, preventing your PC from overheating. That is really great. In our opinion ATI hit bull's eye with this new product and HIS implementation of it is a terrific choice. So we are giving our "Golden Award" seal to this product for the low-end VGA category.

[Editor's Choice] HIS has again released a fine product. Taking the Radeon X1900XT card and improving it further with the powerful and silent IceQ3 cooler earns HIS lots of well deserved respect.

[Technical Excellence] The maximum overclocking we were able to achieve with the HIS X1600 XT IceQ Turbo was about 10 percent for both the clock and the memory which is really not that bad.

[Great Value] It is still excellent for a low-profile Home Theater PC for watching movies or for playing the odd game.

[So-So Product] The extra 256MB of memory on this card helps out a little when running higher quality settings.

[Technical Excellence] One thing that does set the card apart from other X1300 cards offered by manufacturers is the fact that you have the IceQ cooler working for you with outstanding cooling features and near silent operation.

[Pass Hexus Labs] HIS's X1600XT iTurbo is in front most of the time. Using either approach, it's going to be an HIS card that gets the finger. It's only fair to judge based on outright performance really, so the HIS X1600XT IceQ Turbo takes the crown.

[3D GameMan's Choice] Need to get in the game, but don't want to break the bank? Well, this video card offers great performance and features at an affordable price. The core speed on this product is 520MHz, which is 20MHz over the default X1800 GTO core speed. 256MBs of GDDR3 memory at 1000MHz is also a plus. It also comes with 12 pixel shader processors that will have no problem powering through the latest games.
