"The overclocking ability of this card was impressive on both the GPU and memory side. Even without the ability to manipulate the memory voltage, I was still able to get it perfectly stable at 1450 MHz (5800 MHz effective). The GPU core overclocking didn’t disappoint either and was able to run stable at 1200 MHz, an increase of 300 MHz from stock.

All told, we have a video card deserving of consideration if you are looking for something in this price/performance range." Overclockers.com - Approved

"On the performance side, the HIS IceQ X Turbo X 7850 2GB has no problem to match or even exceed in some cases a Radeon 7870 core. It is perfectly tailored for the most demanding games, even in the highest resolutions with a level of detail and maximum filtering.

And although the level of computing power is the most convincing, players will not be bothered by excessive noise. Indeed, the HIS IceQ X Turbo X 7850 2GB has proved perfectly with a more efficient cooling system, probably the best in the market today." 59hardware.net - Recommended Product

"For the most part the same can be said about the HIS 7950 IceQ X² Boost Clock, as its meager 25MHz factory overclock to the boost clock had at best a 1fps increase on performance." Legion Hardware - Supreme Value Award

"Still the AMD overclocked versions do offer nice performance gains and we consistently found that the 7970 IceQ X² GHz Edition was much faster than the standard 7970." Legion Hardware - Performance Award

"The benchmark results speak for themselves with consistently high performance marks. It managed to hold its own against the GTX 680 and GTX 670, especially in the game benchmarks where it came out on top quite often." Overclockers.com - Approved

"True to form, many AMD disciples waited for custom PCB and cooler designs that could really push the cards’ full capabilities. That’s been achieved here with the HIS 7950 IceQ X2, for the most part, with plenty of gas left in the tank for overclocking, pushing the performance ahead of the GTX 670 in an OC state. HIS has really put together a killer card is with the new IceQ X2 heatsink. This design is stunning in terms of keeping temperatures and noise levels impressively low." PureOverclock - Great Hardware

"The HIS 7850 IceQ Turbo is a big card in several regards, not only in physical size but particularly in gaming value. It’s an excellent product, and with an innovative and class-leading accessory audio bundle, this one’s a winner, both as a single card and in CrossFire." PureOverclock - Great Value
