HIS PRODUCTS ADVANTAGE
  • IceQ3 total new cooling solution!

  • 1, Innovative design: Significantly improve cooling performance and lower weight.
    2, Heatpipe with sintered powder wicks: Heat is rapidly transferred from the core area reducing the GPU temperature.
    3, Isolated heatsinks: Memory and GPU heatsinks are completely separated, preventing any heat transfer from GPU to memory.
    4, Bi-directional air in-take channels: Cool air is drawn from both sides of the fan. Improving air flow. This ensure effective cooling even for CrossFire platform.
    5, Ultra silent and durable fan: Significantly reduced noise level and extended service lift.
    6, Larger heatsink surface area: Ensure maximum heat dissipation.
    7, Dual-slot cooling design: Directly exhausts hot air out of PC case.
  • HIS delivers Faster, Cooler, Quieter plus the best quality product!
  • Platinum packing with software bundle
  • Professional customer service and technical support

Offering mind-blowing graphics acceleration and high quality video playback, HIS X1800 combines a radically new ultra-threaded core 3D architecture supports Shader Model 3.0 and delivers new High Dynamic Range visual effects, enhanced realism with adaptive anti-aliasing and lightening fast performance. A 512-bit ring-bus memory controller and up to 512 MB GDDR3 RAM.
The HIS X1800 Series is a perfect high-end solution for gamers looking for the ultimate performance.

AvivoℿVideo and Display Technology
With ATI's Avivoℿtechnology the HIS X1800 connects to home entertainment devices and creates vibrant colors, sharp images, true-to-life image reproduction, and the smoothest video playback ever offered by ATI. Get high image fidelity with CRT and LCD displays, TVs, rear projection and plasma TVs, and projectors.

CrossFireℿReady for Extreme, Accelerated Gaming
Get double barrel multi-GPU gaming performance that works with all games by just adding another HIS X1800GTO graphic card for powerful GPU sharing. Starting with a HIS CrossFire Ready graphic card and motherboard, plugging another HIS X1800GTO graphics card. HIS CrossFireℿaccelerates all your games, all the time, and delivers the highest image quality modes and resolutions with no special software or patches needed for compatibility.

 

IceQ cooling technology
The IceQ cooling system draws cool air from inside the case and exhausts warm air outwards. This prevents the fan from recycling warm air to cool the VPU, which increases cooling performance and lower the air temperature inside the case significantly.

 

How to identify "Turbo" edition?
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.

Card Dimension:
- Width: 242mm, Height: 127mm, Depth: 40mm (approx.)

HIS has won over 1700 awards with AMD graphic solutions from major media worldwide.

[Custom PC Approved] The increased memory bandwidth offered by GDDR4 unlocks a lot of potential in the X1950XTX GPU, so it fares much better against the dual-GPU GeForce 7950 GX2 than we initially thought it would.

[Best Buy]

[Silver Award] Can't make your mind up which graphic card to buy? This is a good bet.

[Golden Bear Award]

[3D GameMan's Choice] Need to get in the game, but don't want to break the bank? Well, this video card offers great performance and features at an affordable price. The core speed on this product is 520MHz, which is 20MHz over the default X1800 GTO core speed. 256MBs of GDDR3 memory at 1000MHz is also a plus. It also comes with 12 pixel shader processors that will have no problem powering through the latest games.

[Destinction] What will we do with X1800GTO IceQ3 version?Of course will giva an award! It's about 30$ higher than cheapest available at the market, but has 1.6ns memories on board and very good cooling system + software, what makes it price very resonable.

[Editor's Choice] As it stands, the HIS X1800GTO is a superb mid-ranged option. Winning most of the more intensive shader-heavy titles. When you consider that this card can be unlocked to an X1800XL in around 2 minutes, the card becomes a downright bargain. Without doubt this is simply the best mid-ranged video card you can buy right now. Pros - Great bundle of games, software and cables - IceQ 3 cooler is a triumph of quietness and performance - Extremely quick in the latest games - Excellent warranty - Can be unlocked to the 16 pipe X1800GTO with ease

[VL Editor's Choice Award] Cooling only the GPU is a good idea, with the Ram being cooled by copper heatsinks. Even the power regulation is cooled, although I would have liked to have seen the 6 mosfets cooled as well. The end result is a GPU that idle's at around 38C with on overclocked load at 57C maximum at very low sound levels. Highly recommended, if you're on the look out for a mid-range card and can spend the little extra over a 7600GT, this card should be on your short list.

[Editors Choice] The HIS X1800GTO Turbo video card is an excellent piece of hardware. HIS has really stepped up with this card and did more than just the minimum of releasing the card. They went in and overclocked the card right out of the box, stripped off the small single slot cooler and replaced it with their brand new and quite impressive IceQ3 cooler. They can attempt to flash this X1800GTO into a X1800XL.

[Editor's Choice Award] After spending a lot of time with this video card, I can say it is one of the best in its price category. Its performance and features make it a clear choice in the mid-range class, a segment which is all about bang-for-your-buck. This card was able to perform well at stock, but also allowed for the unlocking of extra pipelines and a decent overclock. Though the mid-range segment of video cards is very competitive and there are rarely clear-cut choices, the X1800GTO is about as good as it gets.

IceQ3的改造更加徹底,除了保留大直徑風扇外,更索性換上全銅製散熱器,並輔以導熱管加快傳熱能力。 同時,記憶體亦由公版使用的 -2ns GDDR3,改為 -1.2ns Samsung GDDR3顆粒,進一步提升超頻潛力。 因為它不僅是少有用上R520,而不是R520LE核心的X1800GTO,能透過刷新BIOS還原成16流水線。在提升運作電壓後(詳情請參看今期專欄),超頻極限更遠超普通公版,絕對是針對DIY玩家而設的特別產品。
