"We found HIS idea of making PCI video cards excellent, especially for the Brazilian market, where computers with onboard video are very popular. With this board you'll be able to improve your PC with onboard video even if it doesn't have any AGP slot available. This board is recommended not only for those who want to upgrade their video boards in PCs with onboard video. If you have an AGP board and want to have more than two video monitors on your PC, this board is a good choice. In case your AGP board has output for two monitors, if you install this board in your PC you'll be able to have up to four video monitors connected at the same time, each screen displaying somenthing different. The video capture feature makes this board unique, since, according to HIS, it's the only company to make boards based on Radeon 9200 and 9250 with video capture. Another excellent feature for those who want to improve their old computers.

"Bjorn3D Golden Bear Award" While my Radeon 9800 XT ran at around 70C and higher according to both the Overdrive tab and the ATITool utility, the HIS X800 Pro IceQ II VIVO Edition runs at around 45C in idle state and around 55-60C after some heavy gaming in Far Cry. The HIS X800 Pro and XT IceQ II VIVO features iTURBO, HIS's intelligent cooling technology. This automatically adjusts the IceQ II fan speed based on the X800's load and temperature to achieve best performance. This could of course mean more noise, but even in my quiet case (Antec Sonata Piano, http://www.antec.com/ec/pro_details_enclosure.php?ProdID=08138), I never noticed any increase in sound level from the card. In fact, I can't honestly say I could even hear the card at all".

"Bronze Award" The HIS Radeon 9550 VIVO Edition is a nice small graphic card which will be appropriate for those who do not play much, and who rather use their PC with office or multi-media applications. Thanks to its functions VIVO the HIS 9550 will allow people to benefit from joys of video acquisition.

"The HIS Excalibur X800 Pro exceeded the clock speeds of even the fastest retail X800, that being the 16 pixel pipe Radeon X800 XT, which has a VPU clocked at 520MHz and memory at 575MHz (1150 effective).".

"The IceQ II cooling system is most certainly a welcomed addition. Not only is it quiet, but it cools very well and is far superior than the stock cooling system Pros: IceQ II cooling system (and all that entails: quiet and good overclock) Aesthetically pleasing (the physical card) Crisp clean rendering Nice bundle including a molex extender and video cables.ViVo/Hydravision!".

Back to the product itself, what has to be said is it's superb stability and excellent image quality. The card is faster than the GeForce FX 5750 PCX PCI-Express solution...Also the software bundle that HiS offers here is just awesome, which gives it additional value. Oh and hey... and that funny little iCooler does it's job really well.

"Elite Choice Award" Of the X800 XTs we have seen available, there is simply no contest as to which is the best one to choose. The HIS X800 XT IceQ II is no more expensive than any other brand, and yet comes with a massively superior cooling system which gives it fabulous overclocking performance. Very Highly Recommended.

"Recommend Award" ..iCooler with its 24dB noise level and cool blue LED lit appearance. Compared to the ASUS Extreme X600XT, the HIS card is much quieter while offering similar performance... I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the X600XT is the current best mid range card you will get for the money. The HIS Excalibur X600XT reflects this in providing you with a good all round card, all round packaging, and of the extra headroom afforded by the overclockability.

"Gameman's Choice Award" This card has many excellence features/technologies, performs well, and is best suited for a moderate gamer. Ramsinks on all the memory and a quiet cooler on the core helps when overclocking. Also, HIS offers this card in a number of VIVO/MB configurations. Watch the Video to find out more..

"Editor Choice Award" Cooling solution, namely the iCooler offers good cooling power... HIS own iCooler is really effective keeping the X600 XT cool. HIS states that the noise level is below 24 dBA and I really can't argue with that... Fan inside the iCooler is really silent and you can't pick up the sound it produces over the sound of regular air cooled setup.
