Hong Kong, Thursday, Aug 4, 2005. HIS (Hightech Information System Limited) announced the launching of the HIS X700 IceQ GDDR3 AGP. The card delivers exceptional quality and outstanding performance to the most demanding user for 3D games, streaming media, digital video and office applications.

The Ultimate Visual Experience
HIS came up with a worthy successor to inherit the fame of HIS 9800Pro IceQ, the award-winning graphic card, which has the "Tom's Hardware Guide Editor's Choice" among its titles. HIS is going to release the latest X700, equipped with the IceQ cooling technology, to satisfy the demand of AGP market. HIS X700 IceQ GDDR3 AGP has more features than the original the design: it provides the fastest performance, it is quieter and cooler than other product for gamers.

The strongest air cooling technology - IceQ
HIS X700 IceQ GDDR3 AGP is equipped with the most efficient cooling technology among the current graphic cards' series. HIS IceQ can actively draw the large amounts of hot air outward from your PC case, dramatically decreasing the GPU temperature. Our laboratory tests have proven that there is a temperature decrease of at least 11°C, a cooling system with no equivalent! Also, HIS IceQ fan can automatically adjust the rotational speed; AI mode detects the GPU temperature and adjusts the speed of fan. As the result, it balances the noise and cooling level. Ultra quiet HIS IceQ fan keeps the noise level below 20dB. HIS X700 IceQ is also UV sensitive, enhancing the gamer's UV light case.

Extremely fast GDDR3 memory
HIS features GDDR3 memory and uses X700Pro PCB on HIS X700 IceQ GDDR3 AGP. The GDDR3 memory runs at 700MHz, faster than original X700 memory (500MHz), which is a 40% gain in performance! HIS X700 IceQ GDDR3 AGP special design features increase the headroom of overclocking, bringing gamers the selection of best value and performance card.

"We experience an extreme demand and good selling for HIS 9800Pro IceQ in the past." said Peter Yeung, HIS marketing manager, "Thus, we introduce HIS X700 IceQ GDDR3 AGP to replace the HIS 9800Pro IceQ demand segment. To continue bringing gamers the selection of best value and performance AGP card."

The HIS X700 IceQ GDDR3 128MB AGP card will be available by the end of August 2005 for worldwide market.
