HIS HD6970 IceQ Turbo Edition Review

Resident Evil 5, known in Japan as Biohazard 5, is a survival horror third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the seventh installment in the Resident Evil survival horror series, and was released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13, 2009 in North America and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Windows version of the game was released on September 15, 2009 in North America, September 17 in Japan and September 18 in Europe. Resident Evil 5 revolves around Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar as they investigate a terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictional town in Africa.

Within its first three weeks of release, the game sold over 2 million units worldwide and became the best-selling game of the franchise in the United Kingdom. As of December, 2009, Resident Evil 5 has sold 5.3 million copies worldwide since launch, becoming the best selling Resident Evil game ever made.

Resident Evil 5 is a good Direct X 10 test and as such places the HIS HD6970 IceQ Turbo in front of the overclocked Zotac GTX560 AMP! Edition, and noticeably behind the GTX580.

  1. I really would love to know what they are thinking with these coolers’ they are so mad looking id love to see the development team behind them 🙂

    Great cards though, as has been proven over the last year.

  2. I like the appearance ! its very different. the price seems to be good. most of them are 280?

  3. This is a far east design, they don’t get enough feedback from westerners with their card design. look at the difference between sapphire and HIS for designs.

    I am not saying its a problem for HIS, but the differences are in the cultural designs between the companies.

  4. They aren’t a make I normally look at. this is one ugly card. Not sure I could get past that.

  5. The only problem for me is that the GTX570 is a better card and faster. I doubt many people use more than one monitor. its pointless saying its any different.

    24 inch screen 1920×1080 is the average ‘enthusiast’ panel size and res

  6. What a bonkers design, someone has been on the jack daniels during the design phase

  7. Sapphire for me im afraid,. I dont think HIS have a reptuation yet for these kind of cards.

    Temps are high IMO too.

  8. How far is that over the edge of the PCB? that might prove a fitting issue in some cases I would think

  9. People always bitch about HIS, ive owned three of their cards and I think they aer very good. warranty is always strong with retailers too. no problems buying one.

    great product, id buy this, but its a little much for me im happy with my 5 series card. waiting for 7 series !

  10. Is it just me or are there just too many cards out on the market to keep track of? I keep forgetting who has what out. The MSI card is the best imo, but its over 300 still I think

  11. Tres Spunkilisiou

    Two of these in CFx would be great. 6 screen gaming possible? 3×3 side by side and vertically mounted? might need three of them? anyone know?

  12. Someone in that company has been on the tequila during a design phase of this card!

    It works well, thats the funny thing…

  13. Looks like we are back at 2000.

  14. How come another site got theres upto 1050mhz core clock at 70 degrease none the less?

  15. Every card is different, they don’t all overclock the same. Some publications use different methods to test temperatures.

  16. Thanks for the quick reply 🙂
