HIS Unveils the HIS 6970 IceQ Mix Flexible-Eyefinity Graphics Card
In May, HIS announced long awaited HIS 6970 IceQ Turbo and Standard IceQ models, which received ardent response. HIS always makes great products even BETTER! To set up Eyefinity in a more flexible way, HIS just launched HIS 6970 IceQ Mix, providing an easier way for gamers to run both AMD & NVIDIA GPU and enable Eyefinity via HDMI output.
What's more, Dirt 3 game coupons and 4 cables: DisplayPort toDisplayPort Cable, HDMI to DVI Cable, HDMI Cable and DVI to VGA Adapter are also included in this model to deliver you serious high-definition gaming frame rates with Eyefinity 5 in a more user-friendly way.
In the past, you need to crossfire your card with the same AMD Series model. But HIS 6970 IceQ Mix grants you power to enjoy the benefits of running both AMD and NVIDA GPU in the same system.
Furthermore, most graphics cards require connecting the DisplayPort output or using the active DisplayPort adapter in order to perform Eyefinity. It is not only costly but also inconvenient.
With this HIS 6970 IceQ Mix, you can easily set up Eyefinity with ANY of three outputs or All five outputs for multi-display gaming.

Although I am sure if one is running 2 of these 200W cards that things would get a bit more complex. I'd still try to figure out a way to live without those AMD blowers though because I hate the noise they make when gaming and I don't like the raspy noise they make even at idle.
Unfortunately my hands are tied due to XFX's new warranty policies. Removing the cooler off the card voids warranty, Even if its just for cleaning or applying new thermal paste.
I even heard a guy complaining about not being able to clean the dust from his card properly unless he was able to remove the cooler. Support just told him to RMA the card lmao. I understand that partners want to protect the cards from accidental damage from being misused and what not to save having to deal with RMA's, but having to RMA the card because the cooler is packed with dust and needs cleaning is stupid.
lots of partners have also adopted the same stance against enthusiasts who like to mod the cards with 3rd party coolers.
Theres only 3 partners that DONT enforce it and one of them doesnt even do ATi cards.
Asus, MSI and EVGA are the last of the 3 that didnt take stances against users/owners/customers modding their cards.and warranty is important....so im f**ked either way.
