HIS HD6850 ICE Q X Review – the ultimate HD6850 ?

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell January 21, 2011 Featured Announcement, Graphics

Aliens V Predator has proved to be a big seller since the release and Sega have taken the franchise into new territory after taking it from Sierra. AVP is a Direct X 11 supported title and delivers not only advanced shadow rendering but high quality tessellation for the cards on test today.

To test the cards we used a 1080p resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on. We use this with most of our graphics card testing so cards are comparible throughout reviews.

A great score for the HIS card outperforming the reference card by around 3 frames per second and falling in behind the overclocked MSI GTX460 Talon.

    I enjoyed reading the testing page. I agree, none of these speakers really get it ‘all right’ its a case of finding the best sound to your personal tastes and buying a value set.

    Just goes to show that most people who buy 580’s or 5970s to game on a 1080p monitor are just throwing their money away.

    a new IceQ? ooooooh i want it sooooo muuuch, dammit.
    glad to see that it’s still the coolest and most quite version of an ATI card. though, the difference is less noticeable than on older generations, it seems

    I think it looks great. very different and the market needs it. Id like a luminous red video card from AMD with a glowing red fan.
