HIS Radeon HD 6950 IceQ Edition Review

Homefront’s PC version was developed by Digital Extremes, a Canadian developer responsible for numerous Unreal Tournament games and Bioshock ports. It received mixed reports, although Kitguru really likes the single player aspect of this title. The engine isn’t the most demanding on the market, but it requires decent partnering hardware for solid frame rates at 1080p.

A fun game which we really enjoyed playing when it was released some time ago. The game is only playable at these settings from the HD6950 IceQ and the HD6870, as the other cards struggle to maintain smooth frame rates in some of the environments.

  1. Very nice, shame it looks like a fisher price toy …

  2. Ordering one, my friend has a IceQ card and I agree its basically silent.

    Simple fact is, once it is shoved in a case you never see it again. its not that bad though. its different I like different

  3. wow quite surprised it was that good, my HD6950 hits 88c in furmark 🙁

  4. Whats their UK warranty like. no info on it? do you return it to OCUK or not? they shafted me before with a motherboard and no one helped.

  5. It shows that a small fan isnt necessary bad. they have used massive heatpipes and a huge venting area to ensure it spins slowly. nice idea. shame they dont do a black cooler version. I have a case window mod with lights and this would look hideous in it. (all red lighting in my case)

  6. seems like a very good product indeed

  7. Seems to be the best 6950 around. You didn’t point it out, but the fact that this is also a rear exhaust card makes it pretty amazing.

    And I think some black paint might help it out a bit.
