  • Q : X1K AGP series Direct X unavailable

    A :

    Recently, we have found out that X1K AGP series would not have DirectX enabled on  some KT400 motherboard when using Catalyst 6.5 or later. This will result a poor  performance or even error when running 3D applications/games.

    Not all KT400 motherboard would have this problem. And not only KT motherboard, Intel/SIS may have this issue too. The driver fix will be available by October 2006.

    For workaround, please use Catalyst 6.1 driver if you encounters such issue.

    Users are recommended to check if they are affected by this issue. They can go to "System Information" -> "DirectX Diagnostic Tools" to check if DirectX is available or not. If not, users should uninstall the current installed display driver and re-install to use Catalyst 6.1.

    Catalyst 6.1 is available at:

    http://download.hightech.com.hk/driver/Radeon_8_205/8.205-060104a-029861C-ATI.zip

    If DirectX is enabled, users/customers do not need to roll back to the old version driver.

  • Q : How to identify "Turbo" edition?

    A :

    HIS Turbo edition guarantees a dramatic range of overclockable speed on your card. All IceQ II series come with both Turbo and non Turbo (standard) editions. Check for the box containing this label. It identifies this is a "Turbo" edition card and marked with the guaranteed overclocking speed in core and memory.

  • Q : How to identify IceQ / IceQ II series fit on my motherboard?

    A :

    HIS IceQ / IceQ II series occupied double slots space and they suit on most motherboards available on the market, no matter PCIe or AGP. HIS would like to provide the approximate size of IceQ II and IceQ series graphic card for users to have further measurement.

    • IceQ II Series - Width: 233mm, Height: 129mm, Depth: 57mm (approx.)
    • IceQ Series - Width: 199mm, Height: 127mm, Depth: 49mm (approx.)
  • Q : How to identify IceQ series fit on my CrossFire Ready motherboard?

    A :

    IceQ / IceQ II cards are designed to achieve the ultimate cooling effect, in case their heatsinks are larger than regular one and occupied more space. When users select CrossFire ready motherboard, HIS strongly recommends users pick the one contains 2 slots space in between 2 PCIe x16 slots. Beware some CrossFire ready motherboards only contain 1 slot space in between 2 PCIe x16 slots, these boards are unable plugged IceQ / IceQ II series graphic cards to run CrossFire.
