HIS has won over 1700 awards with AMD graphic solutions from major media worldwide.
[Custom PC Approved] The increased memory bandwidth offered by GDDR4 unlocks a lot of potential in the X1950XTX GPU, so it fares much better against the dual-GPU GeForce 7950 GX2 than we initially thought it would.
[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.
[Destinction] What will we do with X1800GTO IceQ3 version?Of course will giva an award! It's about 30$ higher than cheapest available at the market, but has 1.6ns memories on board and very good cooling system + software, what makes it price very resonable.
[Editor's Choice] As it stands, the HIS X1800GTO is a superb mid-ranged option. Winning most of the more intensive shader-heavy titles. When you consider that this card can be unlocked to an X1800XL in around 2 minutes, the card becomes a downright bargain. Without doubt this is simply the best mid-ranged video card you can buy right now. Pros - Great bundle of games, software and cables - IceQ 3 cooler is a triumph of quietness and performance - Extremely quick in the latest games - Excellent warranty - Can be unlocked to the 16 pipe X1800GTO with ease
[VL Editor's Choice Award] Cooling only the GPU is a good idea, with the Ram being cooled by copper heatsinks. Even the power regulation is cooled, although I would have liked to have seen the 6 mosfets cooled as well. The end result is a GPU that idle's at around 38C with on overclocked load at 57C maximum at very low sound levels. Highly recommended, if you're on the look out for a mid-range card and can spend the little extra over a 7600GT, this card should be on your short list.
[Editors Choice] The HIS X1800GTO Turbo video card is an excellent piece of hardware. HIS has really stepped up with this card and did more than just the minimum of releasing the card. They went in and overclocked the card right out of the box, stripped off the small single slot cooler and replaced it with their brand new and quite impressive IceQ3 cooler. They can attempt to flash this X1800GTO into a X1800XL.
[Editor's Choice Award] After spending a lot of time with this video card, I can say it is one of the best in its price category. Its performance and features make it a clear choice in the mid-range class, a segment which is all about bang-for-your-buck. This card was able to perform well at stock, but also allowed for the unlocking of extra pipelines and a decent overclock. Though the mid-range segment of video cards is very competitive and there are rarely clear-cut choices, the X1800GTO is about as good as it gets.
IceQ3的改造更加徹底，除了保留大直徑風扇外，更索性換上全銅製散熱器，並輔以導熱管加快傳熱能力。 同時，記憶體亦由公版使用的 -2ns GDDR3，改為 -1.2ns Samsung GDDR3顆粒，進一步提升超頻潛力。 因為它不僅是少有用上R520，而不是R520LE核心的X1800GTO，能透過刷新BIOS還原成16流水線。在提升運作電壓後(詳情請參看今期專欄)，超頻極限更遠超普通公版，絕對是針對DIY玩家而設的特別產品。
