HIS HD6970 IceQ Turbo Edition Review

Left 4 Dead 2 is a cooperative first-person shooter game. It is the sequel to Valve Corporation’s award-winning Left 4 Dead.

Like the original, Left 4 Dead 2 is set during the aftermath of an apocalyptic pandemic, and focuses on four survivors fighting against hordes of the infected. The survivors must fight their way through levels, interspersed with safe houses that act as checkpoints, with the goal of reaching a rescue vehicle at the campaign’s finale. The gameplay is procedurally altered by an artificial intelligence engine dubbed the “Director” that monitors the players’ performance and adjust the scenario to provide a dynamic challenge. Several new features have been introduced: new types of infected, melee weapons, and a story-arc that connects the game’s five campaigns together.

The Source engine is no problems to power, even at this resolution. The overclocked card delivers an average of just over 80 frames per second.

  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 🙂
