Test: HIS HD 6970 IceQ

Konklusion

Så er det blevet tid til at runde af og få delt point ud. Grafikkortet her har fået en rigtig god køler der ikke larmer for meget, men vi kommer dog til at mangle dual BIOS.

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Selvom at det er AMDs bedste GPU mangler HIS lige et par ting. Dual BIOS havde været en god ide at få med på et grafikkort som dette med en noget bedre køler, men køleren der er monteret trækker selvfølgelig op da den er rigtig effektiv. Derudover får vi OpenCL, DirectCompute 5.0 og DirectX 11.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Vi får det med der skal bruges, to strøm adaptere, en skærm adapter, CD, manual og CrossFire bro.

Design/Layout - 4
Nu er grafikkortet her ikke lige det kønneste. Delen hvor blæseren er monteret ser lidt for voldsomt ud, men designet på kortet giver god mening hvad angår køling og larm, og derfor synes jeg at kortet skal have 4.

Software/BIOS - 3
Den medfølgende software (driveren) fungerede upåklageligt og skal derfor have 3.

Ydelse - 4
Ydelsen er lidt blandet, men generelt kommer vi lige over konkurentens GTX570. Der er god mulighed for overclock, og er man ligeglad med larm, så er der stadig masser af køling tilbage i køleren, så overclock med volt regulering er ikke helt udelukket.

Pris - 2
Prisen på 2695kr. er lige pebret nok. Konkurentens GTX570 ligger generelt en 400kr. under, men her fås der også lige en smule mere ydelse sammen med den gode IceQ køler.

UK summary

Now it is time to end and give points. This graphics card got a very good cooler which is not too noisy, however we are missing the dual BIOS.

Innovation/Technology - 4
Eventhough it is AMDs top GPU, HIS is missing a few things. Dual BIOS would have been a good idea to get with a graphics card like this with a better cooler, but the mounted cooler also helps with points, of course because it is very effective. Additionally we get OpenCL, DirectCompute 5.0 and DirectX 11.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
We get what we need, two power adapters, a monitor adapter, CD, manual and a CrossFire bridge.

Design/Layout - 4
The graphics card here is not among the prettiest ones. The part where the fan is mounted looks a bit too vigorously, but the design of the card makes good sense in terms of cooling and nouse, and I therefore think that this card should get 4.

Software/BIOS - 3
The included software (the driver) worked flawlessly and must therefore get 3.

Performance - 4
Performance is somewhat mixed, but overall it is just above the competitors GTX570. There is a great overclocking potential, and if you don't care about noise, there is still plenty of cooling left in the cooler, so overclocking with voltage regulation is not completely ruled out.

Price - 2
The price of 2695kr. is just pricey enough. The competitors GTX570 is generally about 400kr. below, but there is also a bit more performance and you get the really good IceQ cooler.
