“The portable all-rounder is the ideal travel companion because he evaluates mainly flat and simply held mobile devices neatly on. The analog output in the absence of D-Sub on the notebook can be quite a help when it eg for simpler Beamer.”

“For normal use, the combination with a required USB 3.0 output of the mobile device is just perfect.
A USB connection cable (USB 3.0 Type B) and optionally a useful base, which can be used for vertical use of the docking station.”

“We know the R9 285 2GB is pretty strong, and we also know that HIS tends to do a great job when it comes to the IceQ X2 line of cards. Put those two factors together, and you end up with a great performing card, not only in the FPS department, but also in the cooling and noise areas as well.

For the price, the R9 285 2GB from HIS is a nice purchase. After looking at the Sapphire cards in CrossFire, we would also say that buying a second doesn't hurt.

If you're looking at a card that offers good bang for buck and just all round strong performance, the HIS R9 285 2GB IceQ X2 OC is a great option.”

“ 對於只用筆記簿型電腦的用家十分合適，特別是 Mac Book Air 的用家，只需一組 US3.0 接口即能提供大屏幕輸出，甚至雙屏幕輸出，工作或娛樂亦能用上，而且其中一組為 VGA 接口，支援大部份商務投影機的接口，日後只需攜帶此設置即可隨時使用。此外，提供 Ethernet 接口亦受十分重要，雖然現時差不多所置亦會配備 WIFI ，但始終不及直接用線材穩及高速，對於下載大型檔案時效果更為突出。”

“For the most part, the card would be best paired at 1680 x 1050 with games running medium to high in-game settings. At this level, you should find yourself with a solid gaming experience that will be nice and smooth. For the price point, this is a decent level to be gaming at.”

“The HIS IceQ R9 290X Hybrid strongest feature is its liquid cooling system; it operates quietly and enabled the card to be overclocked easier for a slight performance gain.

HIS has a winning card in its hands and we would easily recommend it as long as your system has space to accommodate the liquid cooler's radiator unit and its associated cabling.”

“It's below the shroud where all the magic happens, and it is magic that happens indeed.

The cooling numbers the card puts out are fantastic; especially when you consider the extra voltage that is being run through the card with the higher core clock.

You can see that core overclocking was very successful.”

“The HIS Radeon R7 250X iCooler we were shipped features the iCooler heatsink cooler which delivers much better cooling and stability over the reference model. This coupled with a custom designed PCB which improves overall stability and power rating of the board.

The Radeon R7 250X is a good offering for people who are looking to switch to 1080P resolution from an old display and  can’t buy a graphics card over a 100 bucks. The Radeon R7 250X keeps the solid performance of the Radeon HD 7770 GHz under its belt and updates it with new and enhanced drivers from AMD which boost performance and add Mantle API support.”

“The Hybrid IceQ edition of this 290X is superb in performance and low noise levels. It's really nice performance. And especially for those with Ultra High Definition gaming in mind, the 290/290X will make sense setup in Crossfire. That would be a sweet spot and you'd have 4 GB of graphics memory per GPU.”

“Second representative in this comparison is the HIS Radeon IceQ R9 280 OC. In terms of cooling, the manufacturer can come up with a surprise, but more on that later.

The first question can be answered R9 280 IceQ OC clearly with the HIS Radeon. The radial fan is quiet and cools very well. In addition, he also leads that the waste heat is blown out of the PC case.”
