HIS Radeon HD 6950 IceQ 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 was one of the better Direct X 10 action games in recent years but it doesn't prove much of a challenge for the hardware on test today, with the HIS HD6950 averaging over 120 fps.

  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.
