Inside is a box-in-box packaging with the included accessories (DVI to HDMI adapter, driver/utility disk, Molex to 6 pin connectors, CrossFireX ribbon) and the card which fits nice and snugly into the formed ‘clam shell’-like plastic and and supporting foam inserts. Here are the shots of the card in all its IceQ cooled glory! The first shots are of HIS’s IceQ packaging, a white box with blue/purple ice-like coloring featuring, as per usual, a list of the major features this card provides for the user. HIS 6870 IceQ Features - IceQ Technology (Courtesy HIS) I’m hoping that, with a seemingly larger cooler which exhausts most of the air out of the back, this card should keep cool, quiet, and hopefully overclock better than its previous review brethren. Beyond the typical DirectX 11 and HDMI 1.4 support and Eyefinity features, you can check out what is under the hood of the large cooler that used to be found only on the 6970. HIS 6870 IceQ Specifications (Courtesy of HIS)īelow you can see some of the features of this card. Yes, that’s right: not a single MHz overclocked from the factory! Below are the remainder of the high level specifications/requirements for this card. You can see from the image below that HIS has chosen to bring this card out with a 900 MHz core clock and a 1050 MHz (4.2GHz) memory clock, which are the reference clock speeds. We are not going to spend much time dwelling on the specifications of this card: the 6870 has been out for a long time at this point. This version, however, has HIS’s monster IceQ cooler strapped to the top of this upper mid-range card and features different stock clock speeds. Some of you that read regularly may be scratching your heads a bit saying ‘Didn’t already do this?’. HIS have kindly supplied their 6870 IceQ for us to put under the magnifying glass.
