[Recommended] From a performance standpoint, game experiences were consistently higher than a 6600GT, although in some games it was a close call. Good midrange performance, Sleeved wiring, Good bundle and packing, Dual slot cooling solution for rear exhaust, Free iTurbo software with warranty overclock, Quiet. If midrange PCIe is going to be your next purchase, forget the 6600GT's and check out the HIS X800GT IceQ II Turbo 256MB.

IceQ was, however, instrumental in allowing us to overclock the card so aggressively, and our benchmarking applications responded very favourably. Making use of this technology, you could crank the card up to compete favourably with more expensive alternatives. Overall the HIS X700 AGP is a good graphics card for mid-range users, it won't cost you too much but on the same hand it will offer good gaming performance at 1024 x 768 and even better when you begin overclocking.

When compared to a similar classed card from NVIDIA it outperformed at almost every task put before it. If your still riding the AGP wagon and looking for a card that will allow you to play all of the latest games without emptying your wallet, take a look at the HIS X700.

[Editors Choice] HIS have done extremely well in putting out a card that has incredible performance for the money. The standard performance is great but coupled with the HIS iTurbo software and settings, you get a hell of a lot of bang for your buck. The package, the cooling, the noise level, the overclocking and the performance, all add up to equal a card that is fantastic value for money. If midrange / mainstream prices and cards are what you are after, stop looking and go buy an HIS X800GTO IceQ II Turbo 256MB.

[Editors Choice] The trick however is HIS iTurbo function. Instantly you can bump it up 100 MHz on the core, straight away, at a manufacturer supported speed. That is going to be huge in my decision making today. Not only that, we have been able to push the core towards 550MHz bringing massive overall performance to this card.

[GotApex Redline Award] HIS clearly has the better bundle with the software and the attention paid to the cooling side of things. The Arctic Cooler is a good performing and very quiet unit. His wins in this category.

[Editor's Choice] It seems as though the X800GTO is truly a winner when it comes to price versus performance. The X800GTO performed very well in all of our benchmarks. That said, it seems clear that the X800GTO is a excellent buy for anyn consumer looking for being for your buck graphic card.

[4 Star Award] The cooler barely makes more than a whisper while maintaining temperatures cooler than your usual Radeon X800GTO. The low temperatures, coupled with the decent overclocking allowance of the R480 core, meant that we were able to push the core of the HIS card from 400MHz to 570MHz, which was significantly more than we managed with the GeCube Radeon X800GTO. Based on its Turbo performance alone, the HIS Radeon X800GTO IceQ II Turbo thoroughly deserves to be one of the cards in the running if you are going for a Radeon X800GTO.
