"Looking at the HIS R9 270X IceQ X2 Turbo Boost 2GB, you do have to find yourself kind of surprised with just what this mid-range $200 odd video card is capable of achieving.
The cooler on the card is extremely strong, it runs at a great noise level, and temperature numbers are on the low side too, which is always great.

If you're looking for a mid-range video card that isn't going to break the bank, the chances are the R9 270X 2GB is a model that you've been looking at from AMD. As for the HIS variant of the card, we've got a really nice offering here. I'm a huge fan of the I/O configuration they're using, which sees two Mini DisplayPort connectors. The overclock on the core is nice enough to give us a performance boost and the cooler is capable of giving us some more headroom, if we want to fire up some overclocking software and go a bit higher.

The HIS R9 270X IceQ X2 Turbo Boost Clock 2GB is a great performing card and continues to show us why we love the mid-range AMD Radeon series so much. We get more performance than you'd expect, and at a great price point."

"The concept of the IceQ cooler X2 is well thought out and the low background noise has convinced us. At boot time , at idle and during the test phase, the R9 270X was barely audible , really great. The HIS -provided test sample has left a good impression. The power and performance fits on the line."

"The HIS IceQ X2 based cards look good and this HIS Radeon R9 270X IceQ X2 Turbo Boost Clock certainly does not break that trend. It definitely lives up to the HIS ‘Faster, Cooler, Quieter’ slogan. Under load it’s inaudible and very cool indeed. It’s still a very good mid-range GPU and a free copy of Battlefield 4 makes it a bit of a bargain, especially for anyone wanting to play games at 1080p."

"The HIS Radeon IceQ X ² R9 270X Turbo works pleasantly cool and above all very quiet. Even under full load was the 3D accelerator hard to hear Although our current test candidate was already equipped from the factory with higher clock rates , the increase in clock speed not made ​​itself felt in the power consumption.  HIS has done everything right in his R9 Radeon IceQ X ² Turbo 270X and creates a very quiet, but at the same time fast and above all powerful midrange graphics card. Since the charge of the cheapest Radeon IceQ X ² R9 270X Turbo just is 19 euros , we give our Value Award.

Pros
-Quiet
-Affortable Price"

An attractively priced mid-range card for 1080p gamers on a relatively tight budget.
The card's cooler is also excellent – it kept the GPU running wonderfully cool and we barely ever heard it over the rest of our hardware. This version of the HIS R9 270X throws up few surprises. It's a little bit faster than the stock card and also cooler and quieter. If you're looking for a cost-effective solution to play modern games at high settings on a 1080p panel, it will serve you very well.

"The card features a consistent overclock from the factory on the GPU, while the memory clocks remained the same. The cooling system is a smaller variant of the IceQ X2 cooler we have found on the 280X, and is quite efficient meaning that the temperature did not exceed 52 degrees Celsius while running Heaven Benchmark for about 43 minutes. IceQ X2 functions optimally if we have a well-ventilated case since all the hot air is evacuated back inside the case and we need to avoid recirculation.

The card traded punches most of the time with our overclocked Inno3D iChill 760 video card and in heavily AMD-optimized games it even succeeded to surpass it."
